Product Insights
Levi Round Sunglasses by Le 31 provide polarized UV400 protection up to 400nm, reducing glare and blocking UV, in a classic round frame that flatters square, oblong, heart, and oval faces. The lightweight plastic frame ensures comfort for extended wear but is less impact-resistant than TR90. Priced at $29 CAD, it is cheaper than comparable models like Oceanides Rodea and Waykins Wade, and requires gentle care with microfiber cloth and lens spray to maintain scratch-free, UV-protective lenses.
- UV protection
100% UV protection verified to UV400 standard, covering up to 400nm
Why this is supported
