Sonic Shades weigh a mere 162g and are comfortable even when worn over long periods and during outdoor activities. Designed to provide an outstanding wearing experience, the item is a happy combination of cutting-edge technology and avant-garde style.

Sonic Shades are currently available in black, red and blue, and feature special UV400 Polarized Anti-Glare lenses to ensure strain-free, comfortable vision to enable the wearers eyes to stay relaxed while the outer frame design is hard at work making one look stylish and effortlessly cool.
