Eyerodynamics
Another word for wraps. Nothing says extreme better than a wild base curve teamed with any sport category from snowboarding to golf.

Quick Change
Interchangeable lens systems that allow the wearer to quickly and easily switch lenses to manage any light condition are popular options. Browbars and nosepads that snap out for easy replacement ensure comfort and fit.

Shielded
Stationary or removable, side shields not only add drama, they also provide additional protection from the sun and the weather… and when equipped with lenses, enhance peripheral vision.

Rx for Success
Rx-insertable lens systems are gaining in popularity and innovation.
The best systems are nearly invisible, extremely durable and able to withstand intense activity.
