Our conviction to never compromise isn’t just a way of thinking; it defines our way of living.

From the beginning, the very best has always been our standard. That is why every piece of eyewear we make is free from compromise: a completely revolutionary lens material, SR-91, and performance driven frames, that seamlessly combine comfort and style. We remain committed to always introducing cutting edge eyewear and always remaining on the forefront of product innovation.

No Other Lens Can Compare.

Our groundbreaking SR-91® polarized lens is the result of years of research and testing. No other lens can match SR-91®’s trinity of performance: glass-like clarity, featherlight construction and fierce impact resistance.

Clearer. Lighter. Stronger.

Every SR-91® lens offers superior polarization which gives you the unparalleled clarity and glare reduction that’s ideal for enjoying life outside. That’s why this combo comes standard in everything we make - including prescription orders.

    Fit and Finish

    Frames live and die by the material from which they're made. Our injection-molded TR-90 is designed to fit an active lifestyle spent outdoors. It's strong, flexible and extremely lightweight.

    Our frames remember their shape, even in extreme climates. And with our Variflex™ nose pads, every style we make stays in place while you're in motion. All of our frames are designed in California, and then built with the handcrafting and attention to detail you can only find in Italy.
