Our innovative ideas and clear focus on quality have resulted in a line-up of excellent (sports) eyewear to provide you with a perfectly clear view of the road to success.
HIGHLIGHTS
LENSES
The lenses of all Shimano Eyewear are made of Lexan® by General Electric. Lexan® Polycarbonate is a first class thermoplastic; it has superior high-impact resistance and can resist both very low and high temperatures. Furthermore, it is extremely lightweight and together with Shimano's full UV-400 protection and anti-fog coating* you can be certain your eyes are well protected. A clear view is guaranteed under all conditions.
* Not for photochromatic lenses.
FRAMES
For the frames, Shimano uses the most advanced material available in the optical industry: Grilamid TR90. Shimano frames are well known for their stable fit and stiffness. Shimano frames are lightweight, strong and perform equally well under all weather conditions. These qualities combined with an excellent surface finish and superior shock absorption, result in a frame worth the Shimano brand name.
TEMPLE TIPS
Shimano Eyewear is equipped with comfortable, TPE® hypo-allergic, soft rubber tips. Those anti-slip temple tips make sure that the ergonomically designed frame stays in position under all circumstances.
ACCESSORIES
Most Shimano sunglasses come with a recognizable and practical Travel Box so that the lenses and the frame are well protected. The box also contains a user manual, a lens manual and an Eyewear Pouch that is ideal for protection and cleaning the lenses.
