TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
A pair of glasses developed with high-level sports people
These pairs of glasses have been developed alongside the Pink Racers crew, training in the 49th FX at the Pôle France de Marseille, an elite French training centre.
From the start of the project up to the photo shoot, Mathilde LOVADINA and Léa PERNET have participated in the development of the product to find the right lens, the right coverage, the right fit, very good comfort and a design enabling you to wear these glasses for a day of training or a regatta.
WHY OFFER 2 SIZES?
This product is a size M but it is available in 2 sizes: a size S and a size M to cover as many different faces as possible.
Size S is suitable for narrow faces, including most women's faces and some men's faces
Size M corresponds best to medium to large faces, including most men's faces
BUOYANCY
The buoyancy has been improved so that the product floats horizontally:
- thanks to the frame material which provides low density and a very robust design,
- thanks to an air capsule moulded into each temple,
- thanks to the thickness of the lenses
FRAME
Inserts with a rubber material have been added to the inside of the temples and nose. The material provides comfort and a good hold on the face, even with sweat.
The nose pads have been designed for comfort and helps air circulation to prevent them steaming up. The formation of condensation may occur in incidences of highly intense exertion and with a cold outside temperature. The temperature difference can then cause condensation.
GLASS
Category 3: lets through 8% to 18% of light (protection in sunny weather - Standard: ISO 12312-1 - CE mark). Comfort in bright sunshine
Filters 100% ANTI UV (UV A and UV B)
Polarising: 95% polarisation for maximum glare reduction.
Material: high-resistance polycarbonate plastic
Geometry: spherical – 8-base (glass curves around your face for a great fit and better side protection)
LENS TINT
Lens tint: grey. The grey tint is excellent at rendering natural colours and reduces light intensity. It is the tint most suited to water sports.
Mirror effect: purely aesthetic. Be careful to protect your lenses from scratches, which will be more visible on these types of lenses.
POLARISED TECHNOLOGY
Ideal in case of strong glare!
The lenses block indirect rays coming from below (from the snow, sea or sand), which produces excellent comfort. Enhances contrast and allows the wearer to see their surroundings even with a strong glare
Stray reflections are reduced to prevent the wearer from being dazzled.
Warning: with polarised lenses, it can be difficult to read screens such as phone screens. A rainbow effect appears on the screen.
Anti-UV Lens
What does anti-UV material do?
To protect your eyes from an invisible danger... UV rays.
UV rays are always there, in winter and summer, in sunny or even overcast weather and they can be harmful to your eyes and what surrounds them.
To maintain your eyesight, the lenses of our sunglasses are made from anti-UV polycarbonate which protects you from harmful sun rays (UVA and UVB).
LENS MATERIAL
Our lenses are 1.5 mm polycarbonate, a highly resistant material but the major drawback is that it is susceptible to scratches.
Be aware that even if your lenses are scratched, the UV protection is not reduced, the mirror effect is purely aesthetic.
The same goes for the colour of the sun lenses.
Whether they be grey, brown or coloured... you can choose your glasses according to your preferences, you will be protected regardless of the colour.
