Guide to lens tints for sports eyewear

Selecting the appropriate lens tint for different light conditions can significantly improve safety and performance. Here is a guide to the benefits of different coloured tints.

Smoke grey lensesGrey lenses

Grey lenses are ideal for general use in bright sunlight, softening the glare without distorting colour and vision.

Grey will not improve contrast, clarity, or depth perception.

Polarised grey lensesPolarized grey lenses

Polarized lenses improve contrast for safer, clearer vision in bright conditions.

Polarization filters horizontal light waves reflected off flat surfaces such as a lake, snow, or wet roads, substantially reducing blinding glare and its resulting eyestrain.

This makes them useful for driving in bright sunlight and for where reflection off water is a problem.

Polarized brown lensesPolarized brown lenses

Polarized brown lenses are the preferred choice for fishing in bright, sunny conditions as they filter out the glare off the water’s surface.

 

Clear lensesClear lenses

Clear lenses allow maximum light transmission without changing the value of colours. Whilst the lenses are clear in their appearance they still provide 100% UV protection.

Amber lensesAmber lenses

Amber lenses absorb most of the blue and green wavelengths in sunlight that are the chief components of glare and haze. They enhance contrast and depth of field. When you wear these lenses, everything will appear more vivid. Amber lenses provide 100% UV protection.

Amber lenses are recommended for hazy, cloudy conditions.

Yellow lensesYellow lenses

Yellow lenses filter blue light, which increases contrast and definition during tricky, low light conditions.

They give improved depth perception.
