How to Choose
Men's, Women's and Unisex styles
As part of the description for each model we have indicated whether the style is aimed mainly at men, women or is unisex. Many of the 'sports' style sunglasses featured are unisex.
Frame & Lens colours
For each brand/model the frame and lens colour can be seen in the picture shown but in most cases we also give the frame colour in the description and in all cases we describe the lens colour.
Polarisation
See the section on 'Eyewear Information' for more detail about polarised lenses and their benefits. To make it easier to quickly identify a model with a polarised lens look for the 'Polarised' symbol (as shown above).
Lens colours and their use
Smoke (also called Grey)
The most popular lens colour. It reduces all light equally, does not increase contrast and is ideal for all light conditions.
Brown
A popular colour that increases contrast and is good for all light conditions.
Yellow
Good for low visibility, dark and cloudy conditions.
Clear
For protecting eyes from impact, dust/dirt or abrasion. Clear lenses will still provide a high degree of UV protection.
Green
Improves contrast, but not as popular as brown or smoke lenses.
Red / Vermilion (Rose) / Orange
High contrast lens colours suitable for most light conditions. Popular with golfers, cyclists and shooting enthusiasts.
Mirror and 'Revo' lenses
The fashionable mirror and revo effect are coatings applied to the front of the lens (usually applied to a base smoke/grey lens). They are primarily for cosmetic effect but also increase the filtering power by reducing the amount of light interference.
