LENSES

Glass Polarised – Epic Optical clarity, hardcore durability, shape-retaining and elimination of 99.9% polarised glare, characteristics that only Barberini premium polarised glass lenses can give. Barberini glass polarised lenses are chemically hardened for excellent impact resistance that pass experimental tests up to three times the norms. Glass weighs more than plastic, but with new technologies, these glass lenses are 20% lighter than standard glass lenses.

Tri-Pel Polarised – this exclusive Tri-Pel polarised lens combines the outstanding quality of the Carl Zeiss Vision polarised filter, eliminating 99.9% of polarised light. 

Polycarbonate and CR39 – Rip Curl/CSV Lenses are either Polycarbonate or CR39 Hard Resin available in Polarised and Standard.

LENSES

Polarisation – Sunlight travels in waves oscillating in all directions in 3-dimensional spaces, polarised light mostly travels in 2 dimensions, horizontally and vertically. Vertical light brings useful info to the eyes, colour and contrast. While horizontal light creates optical glare. When sunlight hits smooth surfaces such as water, snow, road or glass, it mainly reflects in a horizontal plane. This polarised light creates strong glare-reducing visibility, contrast and disturbs true colour.
