Sunglasses with Polarized Lenses and UV400 Protection, Square Frame with Spring Hinges

When wet roads reflect the evening sun so brightly that you can no longer see anything

Tinted lenses darken everything, including what you actually want to see – yet the reflection on the asphalt remains. The same applies to water and snow: the brightness is less bothersome than the glaring light bouncing off the surface. These sunglasses feature polarized lenses and an angular frame with spring hinges.

What sets these sunglasses apart

• Polarizing filter in the lens – light reflected from horizontal surfaces vibrates predominantly in one direction; the filter blocks exactly this direction, which significantly reduces glare on asphalt, water, and snow without darkening the overall image.
• UV400 rating – the lenses block radiation up to 400 nanometers, i.e., the entire UVA and UVB spectrum; a simple tint without a UV filter is actually detrimental because the pupil dilates, allowing more radiation to enter the eye.
• Spring hinges on the temples – the temples flex outward instead of bending when the glasses are taken off, tucked into a pocket, or put on over a wider head.
• Textured temple exterior – the embossed surface provides grip when putting them on or taking them off, whereas smoothly polished temples might slip through your fingers.
• Angular frame with a straight top edge – the clear lines create a contrast to rounder face shapes; the rounded bottom corners soften the look.

Suitable for driving, especially on wet roads and in low-lying sunlight, for fishing and water sports, for skiing and winter hiking, and for everyday summer use. The manufacturer does not provide details on lens width, bridge width, or temple length – for glasses, these measurements determine the fit and should be requested before ordering.

How can you tell if the lenses are truly polarized?

Using a screen: Hold the glasses in front of a mobile phone display and rotate them 90 degrees; if the lenses are polarized, the display will become significantly darker or black. This is also the well-known side effect – some navigation screens and gas station displays are harder to read with such lenses. Clean the lenses only with a microfiber cloth; never wipe them dry, as dust particles can cause scratches.
