Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I wear the Barricane in the ocean?
A: Yes. The lenses are treated with a specialised Salt-Water Safe coating that protects the mirror finish from the corrosive nature of salt spray. A quick rinse with fresh water after your session will keep them in peak condition.
Q: What makes the TR90 frame better than standard plastic?
A: TR90 is a 'memory polymer', meaning it can bend under pressure and return to its original shape. It is significantly lighter than traditional plastics and is heat-resistant, so it won’t become brittle in the cold or warp in a hot car.
Q: Do these lenses protect against 'screen glare' or digital fatigue?
A: While designed for the outdoors, the integrated Blue Light Blocking Technology filters out high-energy visible (HEV) light. This reduces eye strain not only from the sun but also from reflected glare off water, sand, or digital devices.
