Copper Smoke Silver Mirror (SURGE)

Fixed Tint
2174-copper-smoke-silver-mirror

These polycarbonate VIVIDE Series lenses by LiP Sunglasses have a blended copper-grey base colour and a uniform silver mirror coating. The copper-grey base colour enhances reds and greens, while the uniform flash mirror coating cuts out some of the glare. With a VLT rate of 10%, these lenses are at the darker end of Category 3 lenses and are ideal for very bright cloudless skies. However, as these lenses are not polarised, reflected glare is not significantly filtered out so these lenses may not be ideal if you are looking for lenses that remove glare. Equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.

Rose Ice Blue (SURGE)

Polarized
2129_ice_blue_mirror

The VIVIDE Ice Blue polycarbonate lenses by LiP Sunglasses offer yet more enhanced contrast and colour perception than the Chroma brown lenses. The base colour of these lenses is rose and it is our highest contrast lens for the Surge. Our VIVIDE lens technology controls light transmission into the eye by filtering out blue light and enhancing red and green light. The VLT for the Ice Blue lenses is 10.7% which is on the lower end of a category 3 lens. It is therefore a lens suited to bright sunny conditions. However, as with our Chroma Brown lenses, there is good performance in cloudier conditions owing to the increased contrast afforded by the rose lens base colour. As with all our lenses, the VIVIDE Ice Blue lenses cut out 100% of UV radiation and come equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.

Chroma Brown (SURGE)

Polarized
2112-chroma-brown

Our Chroma Brown lenses offer enhanced colours, and are a category 3 polarized lens. As the base lens colour has a red/brown hue, this lifts or ‘pops’ all colours (but especially reds and greens). This in turn increases contrast and reduces eye fatigue. The VLT for this lens is 14.8% - the highest VLT in the Surge collection. There is a noticeable difference in the performance of these lenses in cloudy / darker conditions. Owing to the increased contrast afforded by brown base lenses, it is noticeably easier to see details when the light levels drop. This is not to say that the brown lenses do not function well in bright light. In fact, they perform admirably in bright conditions. Brown lenses are versatile all round lenses for all types of conditions. As with the Chroma Smoke lenses, they offer 100% UV protection and are equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.
