Polarized Sunglasses: 5 Benefits

These reflections prevent you from seeing clearly. However, there is a way to limit this glare: polarized lenses! Discover their 5 advantages!

1- BETTER VISUAL COMFORT

Polarized lenses have a treatment that eliminates the effect of reflection on reflective surfaces, providing the wearer with better visual comfort.

On our lenses, the treatment can take the form of:

• either a simple filter on the surface of the lens, present on those in polycarbonate (Polarized 3)
• or a treatment within the mass like for our technical lenses (Reactiv 2-3 Polarized, Reactiv 2-4 Polarized, or Reactiv 2-3 Glare Control). This in-mass treatment gives them superior optical quality.

2- VARIOUS COLOR CHOICES

Are you a seasoned athlete or more of a fan of family walks by the water? No problem, you can choose your lenses based on your activity, as polarized lenses come in various colors!

• A yellow/brown lens enhances and brings out the relief: ideal for mountain sports (mountain biking, trail running, climbing, mountaineering, biathlon…)
• A gray lens faithfully reproduces colors: ideal for reading water conditions, which is particularly appreciated by sailors.

3- IDEAL FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

Polarized lenses:

• Provide the most effective protection and the best solar comfort by operating on the principle of Venetian blinds: light only arrives on a single axis.
• Protect you from glare by cutting off rays reflecting off a flat/horizontal surface (water, snow, windshield…).
• Intensify colors and enhance contrasts and reliefs.

4- PERFORMANCE

A polarized lens can also be photochromic: it darkens or lightens depending on the brightness throughout the day. The pinnacle of performance comes in four types of lenses!

• The REACTIV 2-4 Polarized lens is designed for mountains and deserts and, thanks to its anti-fog treatment, it helps prevent the formation of condensation during exertion.
• The REACTIV 2-3 Polarized lens – category 2 to 3 (blue color) has been developed for all water sports and includes a hydrophobic treatment that facilitates the sliding of water off the lens, making it easier to clean and improving visibility.
• The REACTIV 2-3 Glare Control lens is ideal for daily use. These lenses are slightly polarized and allow optimal adaptation from cloudy to very sunny conditions.
• The Polarized3 - category 3 (non-photochromic): is developed for the High Protection, All Terrain, Lifestyle ranges, and more...

5- AVAILABLE ON MULTIPLE FRAMES
