Quechua Adult Hiking Sunglasses MH580 – Category 4

Our optical engineers developed these sunglasses for hiking. Ideal for use in the mountains thanks to their light weight, as well as their hold.Anti-UV lenses block 100% of harmful rays and category 4 protects you from the sun’s glare. The wraparound shape protects your eyes, even at the sides.

ANTI-UV

An anti-UV material, but what is it for?
To protect your eyes from an invisible danger… UV rays.
UV radiation is always present, in winter or summer, in sunny or even cloudy weather, and it can be harmful to your eyes and their contours.
To preserve your vision, the lenses of our sunglasses are made of polycarbonate mixed with an “anti UV” material which protects you from the harmful rays of the sun (UVA and UVB).

GLARE

Classification of tinted lenses according to the ISO 12312-1 standard:
– Category 1: lens with a light tint for reduced sunlight.
– Category 2: lens with a medium tint for average sunlight.
– Category 3: dark lens for strong sunlight (sea and mountains). Between 82% and 92% of visible light absorbed
– Category 4: very dark lens, for exceptionally strong sunlight (high mountains). Between 92% and 97% of visible light absorbed

Good to know

Our lenses are made of polycarbonate, a material that is highly resistant to impacts but whose major weakness is that they are vulnerable to scratching.
Bear in mind that even if your lenses are scratched, the UV protection does not decrease; the mirror effect is purely for aesthetic purposes.
The same goes for the colour of our tinted lenses.
Whether they are grey, brown or coloured… you can choose your glasses according to your taste and you will still be protected, whatever the colour.

FRAMES CREATED USING A BIO-BASED POLYMER

For the frame of these sunglasses, we use Rilsan Clear G850 Rnew, a polymer made from castor oil.
This bio-based material is a real asset in our development process and is tailored to making lightweight and flexible frames.

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH

Because we are aware that we must act to preserve our playground, Quechua is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its products.
Today, this product is not eco-designed, but we work every day to make it more responsible: eco-design, reparability and durability at the heart of our development process.
