We’ve just introduced this Strike model with category 4 lenses. In total we now have 5 sunglasses with these dark lenses. Category 4 lenses let in less than 8% of light – in the case of the new Strike model it’s 4.4% so the lens blocks just over 95% of visible light reaching the eye.
Category 4 lenses are ideally suited to mountain climbing and high altitude skiing and hiking where intense sun glare can be experienced. They can also be used for desert trekking – again where there is intense sun. Such lenses will also help anyone that suffers from sensitivity to light especially strong sun – a fairly common condition known as photophobia.
One important factor to bear in mind with category 4 lenses is that they should not be used for driving as they are too dark and potentially dangerous for driving. That’s why the frame or lens should be clearly marked that the model is category 4.

Target sports including clay shooting is undertaken with a dominant eye but this is not always the same as the dominant hand. Quite often a right-handed shooter is left eye dominant (and vice versa). This means that with both eyes open the shooter may see two barrels, two targets or will be looking down the left side of the barrel (the opposite applying for the left handed shooter that is right eye dominant). It’s such a common problem for clay shooting enthusiasts that there are all sorts of correction aids on the market ranging from dots/patches (to stick on eyewear lenses), fibre optic beads, barrel mounted devices and so on. Now we have entered the fray with our brand new Strike EDK (Eye Dominance Kit) that’s specifically designed to help overcome eye dominance problems. It does this by having a Category 4 very dark lens in front of the dominant eye (the “off eye”). This dark lens has a 4.4% VLT (visible light transmittance), which means it only lets in 4.4 % of visible light, blocking 95% of light reaching the eye. The other lens in front of the non-dominant eye can be either clear or yellow (interchangeable lenses). It means the shooter can keep both eyes open and there will still be vision through the dark lens but the non-dominant eye, looking through the clear or yellow lens, should take over.

One of the questions we’re often asked is “what makes a polarised lens different?” Light waves from the sun travel in all directions but when they strike a surface like a road or water they begin vibrating in one direction, usually horizontally. This is called polarised light and it’s this harsh concentrated light – glare – that make it difficult to see and uncomfortable for your eyes. Polarised lenses are different to standard sunglass lenses; they have a special filter film either sandwiched between two other layers of the lens or applied to the front of a lens. The polarising filters used in polarised sunglasses absorb the horizontally-vibrating waves that reflect off a surface. That means that only vertically-vibrating waves get through the filter and reach your eye. This greatly reduces the intensity of reflective glare. Non-polarised sunglass lenses only reduce the amount of light entering the eye; they don’t block glare.
ou’re now regularly wearing a mask on your face you’ll have noticed that your sunglasses, spectacles or medical goggles are prone to misting up. This is because the mask directs your breath upwards instead of in front of you, which is good for preventing disease transmission but a nuisance as it interferes with your vision. Sports eyewear that’s close fitting is also prone to mist up and for that reason we have Evolution branded anti-fog products. The one shown is made for us by an Italian company and it’s the most effective anti-fog product we’ve tested (and we’ve tested many!). You’ll find it in our
