Key features

  • Shatterproof polycarbonate lenses
  • Hard coated lens surface reduces fogging
  • Light wraparound frame made in strong TR-90
  • Removable gasket seals the eyes from wind and debris (see note below)
  • Interchangeable sunglass arms and adjustable headband

Achieving the best fit with the foam gasket:

The TAC frame is relatively wide-fitting so the wind proof properties work best if you have a medium to wide head so that the gasket makes contact with your temples. A tighter fit can be achieved by wearing the glasses with the elasticated headband rather than the sunglass arms.

Customer reviews of the TAC-RX

“As a hay-fever sufferer, I was pleasantly surprised how the TAC-RX almost eliminated the effect of both pollen and  dry eye on a recent two day walking trip.”

“I have been delighted with my RX TAC-3 glasses. They never steam up unless one is stationary and even then they clear as soon as you are moving. I have taken part in some pretty arduous cycle races this year including the Etape du Tour and I would thoroughly recommend TAC-3 glasses.”

“They work brilliantly and are just perfect for my martial arts classes. I have been whacked in the face a few times and they have not budged an inch whereas before either my glasses would have gone flying off or I would end up looking for a lost contact lens or trying to adjust a contact lens.”

“I would highly recommend these glasses and your company to others and will do so if I get the opportunity.”

“The glasses were excellent - thank you! They fit snugly and performed very well in clear, windy and high snow conditions.”

“The snow-definition was great in low-light - very useful when among the trees and moving back and forth from sun to shade.”

“The glasses are performing very well. They didn't steam up once. My all-round vision has improved too.”

“Thank you for providing an outstanding product.”
