A Guide to Lens Colors

Most people aren’t aware that different color lenses have other effects and benefits (apart from looking unique and stylish).

Did you know:

- Smoke and Silver are the tried and true all-purpose eye protection that reduces glare while keeping your color perception true.

- Ice Blue lenses are the best for high glare scenarios, such as during snowy conditions or time spent on the water. They have a rosy tint looking through them and have a calming effect on the eyes. They enhance contours around objects and improve color perception.

- Green Wave lenses are great for all purposes, outdoor activities in any weather, and equal transmission of all the colors. They provide good contrast for low-light conditions as well.

- Orange lenses are a favorite for making the environment appear brighter and are great for low-light conditions. With a bluish tint looking through them, they help enhance contrast and depth perception making them useful for hazy or foggy conditions.

- Rose and Sunset Pink lenses have a slight greenish tint looking through them and help brighten up the world. They provide the most depth and contrast and can help increase visual awareness on the road.

- Violet lenses have a greenish tint looking through and are great for mid to bright conditions. They increase contrast and depth perception.

- Brown Smoke lenses are recommended for variable everyday conditions. They enhance contrast and contain a red element to improve depth perception
