1) What are your lenses made out of? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
All of our goggle and sunglass lenses are Polycarbonate*. They are shatterproof, and are rated UV400 (100%UV protection). A special clear coating is applied to the lenses which blocks the ultraviolet (UV) rays. Obviously this is a transparent coating and can be applied to any color of lens including clear. *Our Polarized lenses are 1.1mm lenses that exceed FDA requirements for impact resistance.

2) What are the different lens tints you have? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Some of our eyewear comes with interchangeable lenses. That means, they come with more than one set of lenses so you can interchange. Other Birdz products come with only the tint that is in the frame. Be sure to look at the eyewear description to find out what lenses are included. We have the following lens tints:
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Smoked |
Dark tint for daytime (bright and sunny days); decreases
sunlight without distorting colors.
|
| Clear |
For low-light or nighttime, untinted for indoor or outdoor use.
|
| Yellow |
For overcast days, increases visibility and depth perception.
|
| Clear Mirrored |
Clear lens with a partial mirror coating, used for both bright
and low light.
|
| Smoke Mirrored |
Smoked lens with a partial mirror coating.
|
| Revo Mirrored |
Revo Mirrored lenses are a multi-layered titanium which
provides a brilliant rainbow color. Discovered by aerospace
engineers at NASA, these high-tech lenses have 12 layers of
titanium dioxide and silica applied onto shatterproof
polycarbonate. They are also scratch resistant.
|
| Amber Mirrored |
Amber lens with partial mirror coating. Amber lenses enhance
contrast, enabling you to make out shapes, objects, and
bumps in the snow more clearly because it blocks out the
blue, or hazy, end of the color spectrum.
|
| Rose Mirrored |
Rose lens with partial mirror coating. Rose lenses enhance
contrast, enabling you to make out shapes, objects, and
bumps in the snow more clearly because it blocks out the
blue, or hazy, end of the color spectrum.
|
| Polarized Smoke |
1.1mm Polarized smoke lenses. Eliminates glare and
enhances constrast which improves visual acuity.

4) How should I clean my lenses? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Always rinse off your lenses with water before wiping or cleaning. Even tiny particles can be abrasive when rubbed across the lens surface. Clean your lenses by using an eyeglass spray or just warm water and a little dishwashing liquid. Never use a liquid cleaner that contains ammonia as this will harm the UV coating. Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the lenses. Never lay your glasses face down or they can come in contact with something that may scratch the lenses. Storing your eyeglasses in their case when they're not in use always helps to keep them clean also.

5) What can I do about my eyewear fogging up? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
We have a few hints:
Do not overdress. Be warm, but not too warm. Exercise, skiing, or any movement generates heat and if sweat is forming on your forehead, your goggles fog up. Take off a few layers until you are comfortable.
Snow. If it is snowing and your goggles begin to fog, check to see if the snow has clogged the vents. If they are covered, the heat cannot escape so do your best to remove the snow.
If your goggles do fog, never wipe them clean. Doing this reduces its effectiveness. Anti-fog treated lenses will heal themselves given time.
Never clean your goggles with glass cleaner...that removes the anti-fog coating and only use anti-fog sprays or liquids on your goggles when the factory anti-fog coating has worn off or been removed.
For eyeglass wearers, try putting on the goggles before leaving the indoors since this will prevent the glasses from getting cold. If snow/water gets on your glasses/goggles, blot the water droplets dry with a soft cloth. Even remove them and set them foam side down on your leg so the moisture-laden air can dissipate and the no-fog coating absorb the remaining moisture.

**Please note that most of our eyewear already has the anti-fog coating, see the descriptions to be sure. However, there is always a possibility that these goggles will still fog-up depending on the situations as said above. Extreme conditions can also affect the anti-fog.
