POLARIZED LENSES — ELIMINATE REFLECTED GLARE
Where there is light there is always glare. It’s caused when light hits a surface, becomes concentrated, then reflects into your eyes. Polarized lenses eliminate glare from horizontal surfaces [roads, water, ice, snow, etc.] allowing details to show through, drastically reducing eye strain.
Our Polarized lenses are made using an injection process that ensures they’re optically correct, decreasing eye fatigue and increasing comfort. As with all of our lenses, RYDERS Polarized lenses provide protection against 100% UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light to 400nm.

 

POLARIZED LENSES ARE IDEAL FOR
· bright conditions · roads · water · snow & ice · alpine activities · sun-exposed trails

 

BENEFITS OVER NON-POLARIZED LENSES
· details that may have otherwise been hidden by glare are now visible · no glare means less squinting and straining

POLYCARBONATE LENS MATERIAL
Polycarbonate is the extraordinarily durable thermoplastic that’s used in bulletproof glass, riot shields and astronaut helmets. It’s the ideal material for performance eyewear because of its high impact resistance, inherent UV protection and light weight. All of our lenses are made of polycarbonate.

UV PROTECTION
All of our lenses block 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays, and harmful blue light to 400nm. These harmful rays are a leading cause of cataracts, skin cancer and wrinkles around the eyes—all great reasons to block them out.

SHATTERPROOF
All of our lenses are shatterproof, meaning they won’t break up into dangerous little shards when impacted. An extremely strong impact may damage the lens, but it will never shatter. If astronauts trust this material to keep their heads from exploding while on a 17,000 mph space walk, you’ll have nothing to worry about on your adventures, no matter how fast you’re going.

OPTICALLY CORRECT
The lenses in all of our sunglasses are made by injecting the molten polycarbonate into a mold that is specially shaped to eliminate distortion. This process makes the lenses optically correct and increases comfort by minimizing eye fatigue.
