The second most important aspect to consider is the lens category. Rated from 0 to 4, it defines the amount of light transmission. 0 is a completely clear lens, which lets lots of light through, perfect inside or in very low light conditions such as dawn or dusk. On the other hand, a category 4 lens is very dark and lets very little light through for maximum protection. Ideal for high-altitude expeditions, in very bright conditions. For everyday use, category 3 is the right option in most cases. Keep in mind that the lens category has no influence on UV light protection! All our sunglasses are UV400 certified and offer total UV light protection, no matter the lens category.
To help you choose, we’ve selected the best sunglasses for the upcoming season with models for every budget. Get ready for the beach or the mountains!
