Our ecLiPse™ Series Photochromic brown lenses come equipped with a multilayer red mirror coating on the front and Tri-Pro coating both the front and rear lens surfaces. Available in the Surge, Typhoon and FLO models, these lenses offer a neutral tone, and are a category 1-2 polycarbonate lens. The photochromic element is activated by UV and the tint activation period is 15-20 seconds. The VLT (visible light transmission) range is 19% to 74%. With these VLT levels, the lenses are ideal for cloudy / low light conditions, but can also handle moderately bright conditions. They are an ideal lens for the winter months or if you need something for low light conditions. Equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating to repel dirt and oil and a hard coating on both the front and rear surfaces.

Our ecLiPse Series Photochromic smoke lenses come equipped with a light silver mirror coating on the front and an anti-fog coating on the rear surface. Available in the Surge, Typhoon and FLO models, these lenses offer a neutral tone, and are a category 1-3 polycarbonate lens. The photochromic element is activated by UV and the tint adjustment period is 15-20 seconds. The VLT (visible light transmission) range is 14% to 52%. At these VLT levels, the lenses will be able to handle a wide range of lighting conditions from bright sunshine to cloudy skies, and are an ideal lens for the winter months or if you need something for changeable conditions. Equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on the front surface and an anti-fog and hard coat on the rear surface.

The Chroma Smoke (grey) polycarbonate lenses for the Surge and FLO offer a neutral tone, and are a category 3 polarized lens. If you like a natural representation of colours, then this is the lens for you. The VLT (visible light transmission) is 10.2%. At these VLT levels, the lenses will be able to handle very bright sunlight and significant glare. However, for cloudy days and sessions when the sun is well on its way down, they may be a little on the dark side when it comes to the end of the day. Equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.

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.

These polycarbonate Levanté Series lenses by LiP Sunglasses have a grey base colour and a uniform silver mirror coating for a low-key aesthetic finish. The grey base colour has a neutral tone and the VLT rate is 12.9% – which is a good all round tint for bright and sunny conditions, and are a little lighter than the Chroma Smoke lenses if you are likely to experience intermittent clouds. As with all of our lenses, there is 100% UV protection. They are equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating, anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on the front surface and anti-fog and hard coating on the inner surface.

These polycarbonate Levanté Series lenses by LiP Sunglasses have a grey base colour and a multilayer blue mirror coating. They are also equipped with an anti-fog coating on the inner lens surface. The anti-fog coating is designed to defog lenses that become foggy due to body heat / moist exhaled breath so this lens is ideal for beginners that spend as much time in the water as on it. The grey base colour has a neutral tone and the VLT rate is 12.5% – which is a good all round tint for bright and sunny conditions. With 100% UV protection, these Smoke Multilayer Blue mirror polarized lenses come equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating, anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on the front surface and anti-fog and hard coating on the inner surface.

These polarized polycarbonate Levanté Series lenses by LiP Sunglasses have a brown base colour and a multilayer green mirror coating. The brown base colour offers excellent contrast and colours really ‘pop’ with this lens. The VLT rate is 11.5%. so they are a good all round tint – not too bright – not too dark. As with most multilayer mirror coatings, depending on the angle at which these lenses are seen, the mirror colour blends from a deep blue to a rich dark green. With 100% UV protection, these lenses 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.

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.

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.
