Quechua Women’s Hiking Sunglasses – MH550W

Our optical engineers developed these sunglasses for hiking. Ideal for regular mountain use thanks to their lightness & supportAnti-UV lenses block out 100% of the sun’s harmful rays and Category 3 protects you from glare. Thanks to their low weight and good retention, they provide excellent protection for hiking.

1.5 MM LENSES REDUCE OUR MATERIAL CONSUMPTION

The reduction in our impact also supports the reduction in our material consumption.
By reducing the thickness of our lenses, this allows us to use less material and also to make our products lighter while keeping the same features.

ANTI-UV

What use is anti-UV material?
To protect your eyes from an invisible danger… UV rays.
UV radiation is always present, in winter or in summer, in sunny weather or even overcast and it can be harmful to your eyes and their contour.
To help preserve your vision, our sunglasses lenses are made from polycarbonate blended with “anti-UV” material which protects you from harmful sun rays (UVA and UVB).

GLARE

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