The Typhoon embodies the essence of our design philosophy – to bring to the market high quality watersports eyewear that is stylish, functional and built to withstand the rigours of the ocean. Incorporating the highest grade materials, the Typhoon comes equipped with decentered injected nylon polarized lenses by ZEISS or ecLiPse / NXT Photochromic lenses, super-strong lightweight TR90 dual injected frames, and a bombproof retention system.
The hydrophobic coating keeps your vision clear and the 8-base wrap fit and large lens size affords solid protection from direct and scattered UV radiation. For comfort, the overmolded TPU rubber on the inside of the frame and on the temples provide a soft and comfy fit – no matter how long your session.
The Typhoon incorporates a patented anti-fogging system comprising cuttings in the lenses and venting channels in the upper and lower parts of the frame. This encourages airflow through and behind the lenses to improve ventilation and counteract fogging. Finally, a leash system guaranteed to work in all conditions will ensure that you stay connected to your sunglasses during a heavy wipeout.

Don’t see your preferred combination of frame and lenses? Did you know that you can build your own Custom Typhoon?

Wladimir Leuenberger (Bern, CH) The glasses are light, fit well and with the Zeiss lenses have great optics that I can adjust depending on the conditions. I am a professional sailor and can say that this product is the best I have worn so far.

Sebastien Alias (Worthing, GB) I've been using the LiP Typhoon sunglasses for kitesurfing and other sports activities and they’ve honestly been a game changer. The clarity from the ZEISS lenses is amazing — no distortion, even in bright glare or choppy water. They stay on securely with the leash, even after wipeouts, and they’re super comfortable to wear for long sessions. I also really appreciate the anti-fog vents and how well they shed water. Not cheap, but totally worth it if you're on the water a lot. Easily the best watersports sunglasses I’ve owned.

Sean D (Boston, US) I am a big fan of my Typhoon sunglasses. I love the comfortable/secure fit and top-notch lenses when paddleboarding out on the open ocean. I do find that the lenses will still fog up on really humid days, but less so than other performance sunglasses… and I will use an anti-fog wipe before going out on these humid days and that nicely does the trick. Lastly, Lip customer service is fantastic (thank you Graham and team).

Antonio (Lugano, CH) I Just buy Typhoon sunglasses with optical correction, wowww amazing product. Perfect Made and optical correction as per my data provided; just perfect, Thank you LIP staff for Your amazing work.
J
Jacob Towery (Menlo Park, US) There are definitely good things about the Typhoon "anti-fog" non-polarized smoke sunglasses with silver mirror. They are comfortable, block out a lot of the sun and glare, stay on with wipeouts and seem very durable. The reasons I'm only giving two stars are that they either fog up a lot and/or the water on the outside of the lens doesn't evaporate so it becomes really difficult to see/read the incoming waves. I'm not sure if I'll keep using them since they interfere with my surfing a lot.

Alexander Bagaev (Malden, US) I got it right before the Aruba trip. It has great quality and great glasses overall. The sales team was quite fast and accommodated my needs before the trip
