Photochromic Smoke Silver Mirror (TYPHOON)
Our ecLiPse Series Photochromic lenses come equipped with a smoke base colour 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.

Zeiss Violet Super Blue (TYPHOON)
Available only in the Typhoon model, this nylon lens is suited to bright and very bright conditions. As the visible light transmission (11.8%) is 2% higher than the transmission rate for the Pacific Blue lenses – the Super Blue lens performs a little better in lower light conditions. These lenses subdue the amount of blue light entering the eye and enhance reds and greens. The mirror coating also reflects some blue light. A good stylistic alternative to the Pacific Blue lenses if you prefer a lighter blue mirror coating and a little more brightness in the field of view. Equipped with Zeiss’s advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.

Zeiss Methane Brown (TYPHOON)
A Category 3 polarized lens with a brown base colour, our Methane Brown lenses lift or ‘pop’ all colours (but especially reds and greens). This in turn increases contrast and reduces eye fatigue. With a VLT of 15.6% (the highest VLT rate of our polarized Zeiss lenses for the Typhoon) they can be used in all conditions, however there is a noticeable difference in performance in cloudy or changeable lighting conditions. The 'Methane' refers to a very subtle silver sheen applied on top of the base lens for a touch of style. Equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.

Zeiss Violet Pacific Blue (TYPHOON)
The violet base colour of the Pacific Blue lenses by ZEISS provide enhanced contrast and vivid colour perception. The violet base colour subdues the amount of blue light entering the eye and enhance the reds and greens – offering a HD visual experience. These category 3 polarised lenses are perfect for very bright conditions in environments with deep blue ocean colours like the Pacific or Atlantic. The VLT is 9.95% which is at the lower end of a Category 3 lens and so they are perfectly suited to really bright and sunny conditions. They come equipped with Zeiss’s advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.

Zeiss Brown Rose Gold (TYPHOON)
The Rose Gold nylon lenses have a brown base lens colour which is coupled with a rose gold mirror coating. The brown base lens colour offers great contrast and also contributes to a reduction of eye fatigue. The VLT rate for these lenses is 14.2% which while still squarely within the Category 3 range, is a bit higher than most of our other Zeiss lenses which fall in the 9-12% range. This lens is therefore well equipped for lower light conditions and cloudier days, but may not be the perfect choice for super-bright sunny conditions. They come equipped with Zeiss’s advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.
