A pair of glasses developed with top-level sportswomen
These pairs of glasses were developed with the Pink Racers crew training in 49er FX at the Pôle France in Marseille.
From the start of the project to the photo shoot, Mathilde LOVADINA and Léa PERNET were involved in the development of the product to find the right lens, the right coverage, the right fit, the right comfort and a design that would enable the glasses to be worn during a day's training or racing.
WHY 2 SIZES?
This product is in size M but exists in 2 sizes: a size S and a size M to cover a maximum number of different faces.
Size S corresponds to thin faces, with a majority of female faces and some male faces
Size M corresponds to medium to large faces, with a majority of male faces
FLOTTABILITY
Buoyancy has been designed to ensure that the product floats horizontally:
- thanks to the low-density, high-strength frame material,
- thanks to an air capsule injected into each temple,
- thanks to the thickness of the lenses.
MOUNT
Rubber-like inserts have been added to the inside of the temples and nose bridge. The material provides comfort and a secure fit on the face, even when perspiring.
The nose bridge has been designed for comfort and air circulation to prevent fogging. Fogging can occur in the case of very intense effort, and with a cold outside temperature. The difference in temperature can lead to fogging.
GLASS
Category 3: lets through 8% to 18% of light (protection in sunny weather - Standard: ISO 12312-1 - CE marked). Comfort in bright light
100% ANTI-UV filter (UV A and UV B)
Polarizing: 95% polarization to eliminate maximum glare.
Material: high-resistance polycarbonate plastic
Geometry: spherical shape - Base 8 (curved lens for good fit with the face and better lateral protection)
LENS TINT
Glass tint: gray. The gray tint provides excellent reproduction of natural colors and reduces light intensity. It is the most suitable tint for water sports.
Mirror effect: this is purely aesthetic. Be careful to protect lenses to avoid scratches, which are more visible on this type of lens.
POLARIZING TECHNOLOGY
Ideal in strong glare!
The glass stops indirect rays arriving from the ground (reflections on snow, sea or sand), providing excellent comfort. It met enhances contrasts and enables relief to be seen in strong glare
Stray reflections are limited to avoid glare.
Caution: with polarizing lenses, it can be difficult to read screens such as telephones. A rainbow effect appears on the screen.
Anti-UV glass
Anti-UV material, but what's it for?
To protect your eyes from an invisible danger... UV rays.
UV rays are always present, in winter or summer, on sunny or even overcast days, and can be harmful to your eyes and their contours.
To protect your vision, the lenses of our sunglasses are made of anti-UV polycarbonate which protects you from the sun's harmful rays (UVA and UVB).
GLASS MATERIAL
Our lenses are made of 1.5 mm polycarbonate mm, a highly resistant material whose main drawback is that it is sensitive to scratches.
Even if your lenses are scratched, UV protection is not diminished, as the mirror effect is purely aesthetic.
The same applies to the color of our sunglasses.
Whether gray, brown or colored... you can choose your sunglasses according to your preferences, and you'll be protected whatever the color.
Glare
Classification of tinted lenses in accordance with ISO 12312-1:
- Category 1: lightly tinted lenses for low solar luminosity.
- Category 2: moderately tinted lenses for medium solar luminosity.
- Category 3: dark lenses for high solar luminosity (sea and mountains). Between 82% and 92% of visible light absorbed
- Category 4: very dark glass, for exceptional solar luminosity (high mountains). Between 92% and 97% of visible light absorbed.
