Sunglasses For Sport have added a breakthrough new anti-fog remedy – DEFOG it™ anti-fog wipes to their eyewear accessories range. Fogging or misting on close fitting sports sunglasses, sports eyewear, goggles and helmet visors is a well known problem – not only a nuisance that can affect sports performance but potentially dangerous if vision is obscured by misting up.

Manufactured in the USA, these DEFOG-it™ anti-fog towelette wipes safely prevent fogging (misting) on sunglasses, eyewear, goggles and helmet visors. Each dry towelette is impregnated with a special fog-fighting formula and spreads an invisible, streak-free barrier for hours of fog-free clear vision. DEFOG It™ is so reliable, it is used by the military worldwide to prevent fogging.

Application is quick and simple – you just wipe over lenses for 10-15 seconds before you put your sunglasses / eyewear on. Supplied in a pocket sized plastic container with snap shut lid, 3 wipes are supplied in individual sachets with each wipe providing 5-10 applications. After each application you return the reusable towelette to the plastic container.

Sunglasses For Sport are the only UK retailer for these new anti-fog wipes. The retail boxes (with 3 reusable wipes) are just £5.95 each and include free delivery to a UK address. See the accessories section at http://www.sunglassesforsport.com/shop/accessories/

Ski enthusiasts heading to the slopes this winter are reminded of the importance of wearing high quality sunglasses or goggles with a UV400 rating – the risk of damage to the eyes by harmful UVR is far greater at altitude.

If you are heading to the slopes this winter one part of your ski kit that you cannot afford to be without is good quality sunglasses or goggles – these eliminate solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), in particular the more damaging UVB radiation.  A study undertaken by Japanese scientists revealed that eyes can receive up to 2.5 times more UV on mountains than at sea level.  Even when the eyes are turned away from the sun, they can still get over 85 per cent more UV on snow.  This can cause conditions such as snow blindness, which can lead to inflammation and cataracts.

Denzil Lee, Managing Director of Sunglasses For Sport Ltd, comments, “Because mountain air is cool, it gives a false sense of security about the sunlight, but the higher the altitude, the greater the ultraviolet (UV) radiation because there is less atmosphere to screen out harmful rays.

“For anyone going skiing or snowboarding this winter, it’s essential to wear good quality sunglasses or goggles with a UV400 rating, because on mountains the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays are easily underestimated, with a high risk of sunburn and ultimately skin cancer and eye cataracts”.

Sunglasses For Sport are a specialist online retailer of sports eyewear with over 400 models available including more than 100 polarised versions.  Their site: www.sunglassesforsport.com features a dedicated snow sports section where customers can shop for a wide range of ski goggles and sunglasses that have been specially selected for skiing.

Sunglasses For Sport Ltd announce agreement to sponsor Shelley Jory-Leigh – one of the UK’s leading powerboat racers and the top female racer in the world.

Sunglasses For Sport Ltd, a leading UK online retailer of sports sunglasses and eyewear, have reached agreement to sponsor Shelley Jory-Leigh – one of the UK’s leading powerboat racers and the top female racer in the world.

With throttleman Patrick Huybrieghts, Shelley was favourite to win the 2010 Powerboat P1 World Championship but her bid for the title was shattered at the third event of the season when their boat sank in Sardinia and they both ended up in hospital and were forced to retire from the rest of the competition.

Surely one the best examples of ‘Girl Power’ – a woman competing at the very top in a man’s world – Shelley is still looking for a world championship and no doubt will not stop until she gets it.

Shelley Jory-Leigh comments, “I am delighted to have teamed up with Sunglasses for Sport.  Wearing high quality eyewear is an essential part of my kit – sports style polarised sunglasses eliminate glare on the water; keeping wind and spray out of my eyes.  Good quality sunglasses also provide important protection from harmful UVR – so I wear sunglasses all year round on and off water.

“I am fortunate to have a great team of sponsors and I look forward to working with Sunglasses For Sport over the next year”.

The Sunglasses For Sport website www.sunglassesforsport.com features 15 different brands and over 400 different models – including more than 100 polarised models.  Every one is UV400 rated and all prices include free UK delivery.

New from Sunglasses For Sport is the uniquely designed Sea-River Cap Sunglasses featuring polarised lenses – ideal for spectacle wearers it simply attaches to any peaked cap and at £29.95 including VAT & delivery is exceptional value.

Just released by specialist sports eyewear retailer Sunglasses For Sport Ltd is a unique design of cap sunglasses from Sea-River.  Featuring a high quality, UV400 rated polarised lens, available in grey or amber colours, the cap sunglasses will securely attach in seconds to any peaked cap.  The lightweight, shatterproof polycarbonate lens is fully adjustable so you can position it where you want it – close to or further away from your face.  This is the ideal solution for the spectacle wearer – it means you can wear your normal ‘specs’ but have the benefit of seeing through a high quality polarised lens to eliminate glare on the water.  Another great feature of the Sea-River Cap Sunglasses is that the lens will “flip up” so if you want to temporarily just look through your specs you can – for the varifocal or bifocal prescription user this is surely the perfect sunglass solution.

Apart from spectacle wearers anyone that suffers from misting or fogging with wrap around sports style sunglasses may also find this to be a better option – with the increased flow of air around the cap sunglass, misting will never be a problem.

www.sunglassesforsport.com – the specialist online eyewear retailer – have just added a kids sunglass section to their website featuring UV400 rated sunglasses, with models to suit all ages from babies up to teenagers and prices starting at just £7.95.

According to a report undertaken by the (UK) College of Optometrists, 3 in 4 four parents are risking their child’s eyesight by exposing them to bright sun without appropriate protection and nearly a third of parents in Britain do not buy their children sunglasses at all. Following this report, Dr Susan Blakeney, optometric adviser at the College of Optometrists, commented, “I am shocked that so many parents aren’t ensuring that their child’s eyes are protected in the sun and am equally astounded to see that of those who do, many are opting for ‘cheap and cheerful’ over quality. Sunglasses don’t need to be expensive to offer good protection but it is important for parents to check that the pair they buy carry a CE mark”.

But where do you find good quality children’s sunglasses at sensible prices? www.sunglassesforsport.com – the specialist online eyewear retailer – is a good starting point. They have just added a new section to their website featuring a wide range of sunglasses suitable for ages 1 - 16 years (babies to teenagers). All models are CE marked and UV400 rated providing maximum protection from harmful UVR. There are 3 different brands to choose from – Polaroid, Sundog and Eyelevel – and all the Polaroid models feature polarised lenses. Prices start at just £7.95 and include free delivery within the UK.
