The titanium eyewear is made from a high-quality beta titanium alloy. However, a small percentage consists of other precious metals. In a similar way, genuine gold jewellery is not made from 100% gold because it would be too soft!

The additions to the alloy neither sensitise the wearer, nor trigger any allergies: instead, they help bring the best out of the material. Unfortunately, we can’t provide any more detailed information about the alloy mixture.

Our main suppliers are based in Asia.

Polarised lenses work like a filter to filter out reflections coming off reflective surfaces. Their design enables them to filter light reflected off horizontal surfaces, such as water.

There is no layer stuck onto the outside of the lens. Depending on the model, it can be one of the following methods: Vapour deposition / a layer of sputtering, or dye applied to the base material.

The first figure denotes the standard that your eyewear complies with (see the table of standards). The figure in square brackets [ ] identifies the protection level in Australia or Europe (= filter category or shade number) Sunglasses with codes 1 and 9 carry the CE symbol and comply with the 89/686/EEC directive. They correspond to the harmonised standard EN 1836 in the EU and the ANSI Z80.3 American National Standard. Products with codes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 or 12 carry the CE symbol. They correspond to the Australian / New Zealand standard AS/NSZ 1067 as well as EN and ANSI.

Your sunglasses protect against blinding by sunlight, against natural UV radiation (100% UV protection), and provide protection from snow, rain and wind.

They do not provide suitable protection against: Shocks, hard objects, looking directly into the sun, lamps with high radiant energy, solariums.

To avoid damaging them, you should always store and transport your sunglasses in a suitable case. Replace broken filters with equivalent filters!

To keep your sunglasses in an optimal condition, clean them regularly with clear water and a soft cloth. You can also use a mild soap, washing up liquid or standard commercial eyewear cleaners. Don’t polish damp filters. Dab them or let them air dry.
