LENS TECHNOLOGY

SHIMANO LENSES ARE ENGINEERED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS: OURS.

POLYCARBONATE LENS

COATING APPLICATIONS OLEOPHOBIC COATING or HYDROPHOBIC COATING ANTI-SCRATCH POLYAMIDE or POLYCARBONATE LENS ANTI-SCRATCH OLEOPHOBIC COATING or HYDROPHOBIC COATING

MULTICOATED LENS

SHIMANO lenses feature a polyamide (PA) or polycarbonate (PC) substrate for superior impact resistance, reduced weight, and performance in a wide range of temperatures.

Full UV400 anti-scratch coatings ensure a clear view under all conditions. All SHIMANO one-piece lenses feature decentered optics to provide distortion-free vision that reduces eye fatigue.

IMPACT TESTED

IMPACT TESTED

We impact test lenses to anticipate real world riding conditions to ensure that our lenses withstand and protect against small incoming obstacles, such as insects, branches, and pebbles.

HYDROPHOBIC TECHNOLOGY

OLEOPHOBIC HYDROPHOBIC NON-HYDROPHOBIC

REPELLENT COATINGS

Oleophobic coatings repel oils and water to help keep lenses clearer and cleaner. This coating also reduces fingerprint smudges and lens stains.
*S-PHYRE exclusive coating

All SHIMANO eyewear lenses have hydrophobic coatings on both sides to help rain, sweat, and splashes roll off for a clearer view.
*Not used with S-PHYRE eyewear

RX TECHNOLOGY

Our new AEROLITE makes it simple to add a prescription lens to your cycling eyewear. The frame was codeveloped with RX-CLIP to attach quickly and securely over the adjustable nose piece.

PHOTOCHROMIC LENS

Photochromic (PH) lenses automatically change visible light transmission percentages when exposed to UV light, so riders don't need to stop and swap lenses when light conditions change. When the surroundings are dark, the lenses are almost clear. When it's bright, the lenses turn a darker hue.
