The right sunglasses for every board
Share
Our Sport range has nine models, one for each way of getting outside: Windsurf, Kitesurf, Paddlesurf, Wingfoil, Foil, Surf, Sandboard, Snow and Skate.
They share the same core: a square, sporty shape, Category 3 polarized lenses, 100% UV protection, protection tested to CE EN 1836 with ANSI Z80.3 as listed on each product page, and the same measurements (lens width 53 mm, bridge 18 mm, temple 145 mm). That makes the choice simple. Here is how to think about it.
On the water
Windsurf, kitesurf, paddlesurf, wingfoil, foil and surf all mean bright light and a reflective surface, which is exactly what polarized lenses are for. Smoke is the neutral choice; a blue revo lens, as on the Kitesurf, is a good pick for strong sun; the Wingfoil also comes with a yellow polarized lens. Read our guide to polarized lenses if you want the details.
On snow
White ground and flat light are hard on the eyes. The Snow model gives you the same Category 3 polarized protection in the same frame family, so you can wear one style from the beach to the mountain.
On a board on land
Skate and Sandboard use the same frame. The Skate is also offered with a black-and-transparent-brown frame and a yellow revo polarized lens if you want something with more colour.
Colour, in short
- Matte black, smoke lens: the all-rounder.
- Tortoise, G15 lens: warmer look, natural colours.
- Transparent blue, smoke lens: a splash of colour with the same neutral tint.
Small habits that pay off
- Use a retainer strap for any board sport. Most sunglasses do not float.
- Rinse with fresh water after salt water, then dry with a soft cloth.
- Keep them in a case in the bag, not loose with your keys.
