Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Tension+ Polarized Sunglasses: Choose this if you want polarized lenses for glare-free vision and optimal colour perception with 100% UV protection in a bold, squared black frame with smoke mono polarized lenses. It is part of Le Specs' Global Fit line (marked with a + on the inner temple), designed to accommodate a wider range of nose bridges and face shapes, and has a light, comfortable frame with a 53 mm eye width. A spring-close protective pouch and microfiber cleaning cloth are included, and the product carries a 6-month warranty.[1,2,3] | Pilferer Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a unisex, shrunken rectangular frame with narrow proportions and a light, comfortable acetate build in glossy black with green-tinted flat lenses. The shatterproof, scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses carry a level 3 UV protection rating for sunny days, and a soft designer case plus small cleaning cloth are included. Note the comfort claim comes from the brand, and it is offered only in one size with a 53 mm lens width and 19 mm nose bridge, so the fit depends on those dimensions working for you.[4,5,6] | Nocturnal Habit Sunglasses: Choose this for a distinctive rectangular design with a semi-transparent amber acetate finish, which is described as light and comfortable. Constructed from bio-based acetate and cellulose triacetate, it features polarized lenses for glare-free vision, though the glossy surface can reveal the partial internal structure of the frame.[7,8] |
