Kaenon introduced the SR-91® polarized lens as the answer to all of the shortcomings of existing lens materials. Glass is heavy and shatters, CR-39 is brittle and not impact-resistant, while polycarbonate offers a dull view and scratches easily. SR-91® was tested in independent labs and validated by the world's top athletes and adventurers as the only lens offering razor-sharp clarity and impact-resistance all in one ultra-lightweight, durable lens. Kaenon's high-performance SR-91® lens comes standard in every sunglass they make and is available in polarized SR-91® lens options for complete glare elimination.
Paired with Glare 86®, Kaenon's proprietary polarizing element, this lens reduces glare up to 99.9% and provides 100% UV broad spectrum protection. At an incredible 30 microns thin, Glare 86® is completely encapsulated inside the lens. Ultra-lightweight and thin, the Kaenon lens has a naturally high strength-to-weight ratio, which translates into superior comfort when worn for extended periods of time. It has been proven to perform flawlessly in any environment with superior scratch resistance and glare reduction.
Kaenon frames are renowned for superior construction design and material, hand-painted inspired colors and precision components. With a focus on performance and wearability, Kaenon lives up to the commitment to never compromise. Their Italian-made frames are made of memory-retentive, Nylon TR-90®, which ensures the most premium comfort, durability and aesthetic achievable.
