SEROVA (Reshape) Light Sports Sunglasses blurs the line between everyday eyewear and performance sport sunglasses. A single, continuous curve defines its profile, sweeping from the temple tips upward into a floating half-rim frame. The absence of a traditional lower rim creates an airy, lens-forward look while opening up an unobstructed field of vision. Understated yet forward-looking, the form handles harsh outdoor light as effortlessly as it complements daily wear.
The lens construction is equally disciplined. A symmetric composite structure sandwiches a functional layer—polarized and UV400—between two high-toughness, lightweight nylon substrates. The result is efficient glare filtering, full-spectrum UV protection (100% up to 400nm), and optical clarity. The nylon base offers inherent strength, impact resistance, and lightness. The layered architecture distributes impact forces evenly, further boosting toughness and shatter resistance. The lens withstands external impact exceeding 5 joules without breaking, reliable protection for everyday use and light sport activities alike.
