The Fusion is our latest addition to the Modelglasses range. Using the original, and ever popular, Expert frame, Fusion swaps the orange lens for a polarised grey mirror option. Some of the main features are:
- Lightweight, wrap-around frame
- Frame made from a tough TR90 composite
- 3 x interchangeable lens sets for different light conditions
- Lenses have vent cut-outs for anti-fogging
- Adjustable nose clip
- ​Carry case, cleaning cloth and head / neck securing strap included as standard
THE FRAME
Finished in a highly attractive matt black and orange colour scheme, the frames have rubberised tips for comfort. Being extremely light, and thanks to a slight flex that makes the sunglasses fit most sizes and shapes of head well, Fusion are very comfortable to wear. The frame is made from TR90, a plastic composite material famous for being virtually bullet-proof and thus superior to the more common polycarbonate.
The Fusion frame benefits from an adjustable rubber nose clip, which can be narrowed or widened to exactly fit the wearer's requirements.
THE LENSES
Made from an extremely robust and impact resistant polycarbonate, all lenses bundled with the Fusion are made to very high optical standards. Three sets of lenses are provided as standard, and these are as follows:
- Category 0, light-enhancing. For use on dull or cloudy days
- Category 2, beige polarised. For use on fairly bright or changeable days
- Category 3, grey polarised mirror for use on bright / sunny days
All lenses supplied with Fusion are anti-scratch coated, and decentred, which means the possible distorting effects of placing a curved lens in front of your eyes are calibrated out at the manufacturing stage.
All lenses filter out blue light, which improves the definition of the aircraft in your field of view. Polarised lenses remove glare from clouds, covered wings etc. by filtering out horizontal light. Please note: Polarised lenses can make it harder to read your transmitter screen. We therefore recommend you do not wear the sunglasses whilst making pre-flight adjustments to trims etc.
THE PACKAGE
Fusion are supplied with a lint-free cleaning cloth, head / neck securing retainer and carry case as standard. The case has internal pouches for storing the extra lenses, plus a belt fixing catch and loops, making for easy access to your sunglasses when you need them in a hurry.
CONFIRMITY AND UV
Rapid Eyewear sunglasses conform to the new ISO 12311 and 12312 standards for sunglasses and protective equipment testing. This standard has now replaced EN1836 in the European Union. They offer 100% UVA / UVB (UV400) protection.
