Kukuna® Lifestyle Sunglasses

Kukuna® Lifestyle Sunglasses are designed for those who live life in motion, from urban commutes to coastal hikes. Built with TR90 memory polymer, these frames are ultra-lightweight and heat-resistant up to 200°C, ensuring they never lose their fit. Unlike standard fashion eyewear, our lifestyle range incorporates performance-grade optics and Polarisation+ technology, offering a bold aesthetic that works as hard as you do.


HD5 Polarisation+ Lens System

Every pair of Kukuna® lifestyle sunglasses is powered by HD5 Lens Technology. This advanced optical system goes beyond standard tinting to manage light at a molecular level:

  • Glare Elimination: Polarisation+ filters out 99% of reflected horizontal glare from water, roads, and glass.

  • Contrast Enhancement: Specific base tints are used to "pop" colours and improve depth perception.

  • Eye Health: Integrated Blue Light Blocking and 100% UV Protection reduce digital strain and prevent long-term sun damage.

Why Blue Light Blocking Matters for Athletes

Beyond UV protection, Kukuna® Performance lenses integrate Blue Light Blocking Technology. This filters high-energy visible (HEV) light, which is often responsible for "visual haze." By filtering these wavelengths, athletes experience sharper contrast and reduced eye fatigue, allowing for faster reaction times when tracking a ball on a court or spotting a root on a trail.

Kukuna® Architecture and Guarantee

Every pair of sunglasses, regardless of the range, is built using Kukuna® Architecture. This ensures that all frames are lightweight and impact-resistant for long-term outdoor use. We stand behind our quality with a lifetime frame guarantee and a 1-year scratch warranty on all lenses. This comprehensive coverage ensures that whether you are on the trail or the street, your investment is protected against the elements.

 

Direct-Glaze Prescription Compatibility

The Kukuna® Lifestyle collection is Direct-Glaze compatible and can be fitted with custom prescription lenses by your local optician. This allows you to combine your specific optical needs with Kukuna’s signature durability and heat resistance.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which HD5 lens colour should I choose for driving and skiing?

A: We recommend the HD5 Green Mirror. It utilises an Amber Base lens which naturally enhances contrast and depth perception. This makes it easier to spot changes in the road surface or "flat light" dips on a ski slope, significantly reducing eye strain during long hours of focus.

Q: Are lifestyle sunglasses safe for use around salt water?

A: Yes. Every lens in our lifestyle range features Salt-Water Safe Coatings. While many lifestyle brands suffer from "lens peeling" due to salt-air corrosion, Kukuna® lenses are chemically treated to withstand coastal environments. Combined with Hydrophobic and Oleophobic layers, sweat and sea spray will bead off without leaving spots

Q: How do I keep my lifestyle lenses clear and scratch-free?

A: For daily maintenance, use Kukuna® Lens Spray. Its specialized formula lifts skin oils and grit that can cause micro-scratches. Always use the provided microfibre pouch for drying; avoid using paper towels or shirt sleeves, which can be abrasive.
