Introduced in 2015, the Groove polarised sunglasses for RC replace Nimbus Silver, adding new refinements and a more modern look whilst maintaining the ever-popular interchangeable lens package of its predecessor. Anti-sweat vented lenses are also introduced to ensure you won’t suffer from fogging in hot weather.
THE FRAMES
Made from a tough yet lightweight polycarbonate, the high quality hand-sprayed frames have a slight flex that allows for an ultra-comfortable yet snug fit. Unlike cheaper plastic sunglasses, the frames do not feel like they are pinching your temples and will not become uncomfortable when worn for long periods. Rubber side arm inserts and nose pads further enhance comfort levels.
THE LENSES
Three sets of lenses are supplied as standard. They are as follows:
- Category 0 yellow, for use in low light. An AR coating on the rear surface reduces glare at night
- Category 2, beige polarised, for use in changeable, hazy of mild sunshine conditions
- Category 3 grey mirror polarised, for sunny conditions.
All lenses are supplied with vent cut-out’s, which sit above your eyebrows, allowing them to ‘breathe’ in hot weather. This helps to prevent sweat from dripping off the eyebrows and onto the back of the lenses, which can cause fogging. The lenses are decentred, and anti-scratch coated.
Polarised lenses filter horizontal light, which bounces off surfaces (like clouds, film-covered wings etc.) to cause glare.
THE PACKAGE
Each set of Groove is supplied with a microfibre cleaning cloth, a retainer strap and a carry case with storage for the extra lenses.
CONFIRMITY AND UV
Groove comply with ISO 12312 regulations for sunglasses, and also US Z80.3. They offer 100% UVA / UVB (UV400) protection.
