The Science, Briefly

Light bounces flat.
Azur® filters flat light.

Reflected glare travels horizontally. The polarized filter inside every Azur® lens blocks exactly that — and only that. What remains is the world, in higher definition.

Polarized questions, answered

What are polarized sunglasses best for?

Polarized lenses are at their best on water and snow, where light bounces off flat, bright surfaces as glare. Azur removes up to 90% of that glare, so you see into the water and across the piste with far less squinting. Category 3, 11% light transmission, full UV400.

What is a half-mirror lens?

Azur uses a half-mirror polarized lens: a light mirror coating on the front reflects part of the bright light away, while the polarizing filter inside cuts the horizontal glare. Together they tame harsh reflections without dimming everything to black.

Are Azur lenses suitable for driving?

Polarized lenses can make LCD dashboards and GPS screens hard to read, so for the car we recommend the non-polarized DriveVision range. Azur is built for water, snow and open-air glare rather than driving.

Where do Azur sunglasses work best?

Sailing, fishing, paddle sports, the beach and the slopes — anywhere bright light reflects off water or snow. The polarization restores contrast and depth on dazzling surfaces.

What lens category is Azur?

Category 3 with 11% light transmission and full UV400 protection. CR-39 lenses in a stainless steel frame with the signature double nose bridge.
