Anti-UV lenses block 100% of harmful rays and category 4 protects you from glare. The technology of polarizing lenses means you better distinguish the contours and contrasts.
Our optical engineers developed these sunglasses for hiking. Their lightness and support make them ideal for regular mountain use
ANTI-UV
What use is anti-UV material?
To protect your eyes from an invisible danger… UV rays.
UV radiation is always present, in winter or summer, in sunny or even cloudy weather, and it can be harmful to your eyes and their contours.
To help preserve your vision, our sunglasses lenses are made from polycarbonate blended with “anti-UV” material which protects you from harmful sun rays (UVA and UVB)
Polarized
The best for your outdoor activities!
The polarized lenses make colors more vivid and improve contrasts and landscapes.
They give very good protection and are extremely comfortable with light hitting only one axis. They also protect against glare by cutting off rays that reflect on a horizontal surface (water, snow, etc.).
The only downside is that it’s difficult to read screens (phone, etc.) as the polarizing treatment reduces screen light.
GLARE
Categorization of tinted lenses according to the ISO 12312-1 standard:
– Category 1: slightly tinted lens for reduced solar luminosity.
– Category 2: medium tinted lens for medium solar luminosity.
– Category 3: dark lens for heavy solar luminosity (sea and mountains). Between 82% and 92% of visible light absorbed
– Category 4: very dark lens for exceptional solar luminosity (high altitude). Between 92% and 97% of visible light absorbed
Good to know
Our lenses are made from polycarbonate, a very durable shock-resistant material with 1 major inconvenience: it is sensitive to scratches.
Even if your lenses are scratched, the UV protection is not reduced as the mirror effect is purely cosmetic.
The same thing for the color of our solar lenses.
Whether they are gray, brown, or colored… you can choose your glasses according to your taste and you will still be protected, whatever the color.
FRAMES MADE FROM BIOSOURCED POLYMER
We use Rilsan Clear G850 Rnew, a polymer derivative from castor oil, for the frame of these sunglasses.
This biosourced material is a real asset in our developments so we can make a lightweight and flexible frame.
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH
We are aware that we need to act to preserve our natural playground; therefore, Quechua is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its products.
This product is not currently eco-designed. However, we are working on a daily basis to make it more responsible: Eco-design, repairability, and durability are at the heart of our development process.
