Our sailing designers developed these sunglasses for offshore sailing. Floating glasses with polarised category-3 lenses for 100% UV protection
WHY OFFER 2 SIZES?
This product is a size M but it is available in 2 sizes: a size S and a size M to cover as many different faces as possible.
Size S is suitable for narrow faces, including most women's faces and some men's faces
Size M corresponds best to medium to large faces, including most men's faces
BUOYANCY
The buoyancy has been improved so that the product floats horizontally:
- thanks to the frame material which provides low density and a very robust design,
- thanks to an air capsule moulded into each temple,
- thanks to the thickness of the lenses

LENS TINT
Lens tint: grey. The grey tint is excellent at rendering natural colours and reduces light intensity. It is the tint most suited to water sports.
Mirror effect: purely aesthetic. Be careful to protect your lenses from scratches, which will be more visible on these types of lenses.
POLARISED TECHNOLOGY
Ideal in case of strong glare!
The lenses block indirect rays coming from below (from the snow, sea or sand), which produces excellent comfort. Enhances contrast and allows the wearer to see their surroundings even with a strong glare
Stray reflections are reduced to prevent the wearer from being dazzled. Caution: with polarised lenses, it can be difficult to read screens such as phone screens. A rainbow effect appears on the screen.
ANTI-UV LENS
What does anti-UV material do?
To protect your eyes from an invisible danger... UV rays.
UV rays are always there, in winter and summer, in sunny or even overcast weather and they can be harmful to your eyes and what surrounds them.
To maintain your eyesight, the lenses of our sunglasses are made from anti-UV polycarbonate which protects you from harmful sun rays (UVA and UVB).
GLARE
Classification of tinted lenses according to the ISO 12312-1 standard:
- Category 1: lightly tinted lens for low brightness.
- Category 2: moderately tinted lens for medium brightness.
- Category 3: dark lens for strong sunlight (sea and mountains). Between 82% and 92% of visible light absorbed
- Category 4: very dark lens, for extremely bright sunlight (high mountains). Between 92% and 97% of visible light absorbed
LENS MATERIAL
Our lenses are 1.5 mm polycarbonate, a highly resistant material but the major drawback is that it is susceptible to scratches. Be aware that even if your lenses are scratched, the UV protection is not reduced, the mirror effect is purely aesthetic.
The same goes for the colour of the sun lenses.
Whether they be grey, brown or coloured... you can choose your glasses according to your preferences, you will be protected regardless of the colour.
FRAME
Frame material: polyamide
Arm material: polyamide
Size: suitable for medium to large faces
ECO-DESIGN
Our product is ecologically designed thanks to the work led to limit the thickness of the lens without affecting the solidity or quality of vision.
By using a 1.5 mm lens instead of 2 mm (thickness normally used for sunglasses), we have reduced the CO2 impact of this model by 13%.
We continue to work so that our CO2 impact continues to go down in order to limit their environmental impact as much as possible.
100% UV protection (cat.3) polarised lenses: filter out glare from the surface of the water. Handy if dropped: sailing 100 sunglasses float.
