Frame and Lens Combinations:
Each frame is supplied with 2 sets of lenses for performance in a wide range of lighting conditions.

Black/Orange Frame:

• Smoke Lens - The Smoke lens is particularly suited to medium to bright light conditions with 22% light transmission for a high level of protection and comfort. The lens tint does not alter colour perception for a natural feel.
• Clear Lens - The clear lens offers optimum visibility in poor light conditions. It is particularly suited to use at night or indoor conditions such as track cycling to protect the eyes from airborne particles. Light Transmission: 92%

Matte Black Frame:

• Mutli-layer Red Lens - Multi-layer treatment increases the visual perception of colour and accentuates contrast outdoors, the red tint helps improve depth perception and filters brightness from the greens and blues . The mirrored multilayer effect is not only attractive in appearance, but also reduces the percentage of infrared rays that hit the eye. Light Transmission: 18%
• Clear Lens - The clear lens offers optimum visibility in poor light conditions. It is particularly suited to use at night or indoor conditions such as track cycling to protect the eyes from airborne particles. Light Transmission: 92%

White Frame:

• Mutli-layer Blue Lens - Multi-layer treatment increases the visual perception of colour and accentuates contrast outdoors, the blue tint filters brightness from the red and yellow parts of the spectrum, ideal for desert and rocky settings. The mirrored multilayer effect is not only attractive in appearance, but also reduces the percentage of infrared rays that hit the eye. Light Transmission: 18%
• Clear Lens - The clear lens offers optimum visibility in poor light conditions. It is particularly suited to use at night or indoor conditions such as track cycling to protect the eyes from airborne particles. Light Transmission: 92%

White/Blue Frame:

• Mutli-layer Blue Lens - Multi-layer treatment increases the visual perception of colour and accentuates contrast outdoors, the blue tint filters brightness from the red and yellow parts of the spectrum, ideal for desert and rocky settings. The mirrored multilayer effect is not only attractive in appearance, but also reduces the percentage of infrared rays that hit the eye. Light Transmission: 18%
• Clear Lens - The clear lens offers optimum visibility in poor light conditions. It is particularly suited to use at night or indoor conditions such as track cycling to protect the eyes from airborne particles. Light Transmission: 92%

Red Frame:

• Mirror Red Lens - A mirrored lens offers excellent protection in very bright light conditions due to a high level of reflectivity. The red tint helps improve contrast perception and filters brightness from the greens and blues. Light Transmission: 12%
• Clear Lens - The clear lens offers optimum visibility in poor light conditions. It is particularly suited to use at night or indoor conditions such as track cycling to protect the eyes from airborne particles. Light Transmission: 92%

Polycarbonate Lens Material
Polycarbonate offers first-rate optical characteristics, excellent impact resistance and extraordinary lightness. It has a low refraction index and filters out ultraviolet light. All Northwave polycarbonate lenses are subjected to surface hardening treatments that make them resistant to abrasion and solvents.

Off Centre Lens Curvature
The accentuated curvature of standard lenses provides impact protection but may distort the field of vision. Northwave sunglass lenses have an off-centre base: the axis of the focal centre is perfectly aligned with the focal centre of the eye. This ensures that your field of vision remains perfectly natural and balanced, preventing image distortion and eye fatigue.

Water Repellent Lens Treatment
Northwave lenses undergo a treatment that leaves them exceptionally smooth, this allows drops of water to so simply slide down the lens rather than attaching to microscopic ridges found on regular lenses. Essential for clear vision in wet conditions.
