The same frame as the Vela with a mirror on top of a polarised lens. It is the darkest combination we sell: the mirror bounces light off before the tint deals with the rest. Bright-snow and open-water bright, not café bright.
The coating is a few microns of metal and it will scratch before the lens underneath does. Cased, rinsed and wiped with the cloth, it lasts years; in a pocket with keys it lasts a week.

The things about this piece that people write to us about. None of them is a fault, all of them are worth knowing first.
- Mirror coatings scratch easily and show it
- Too dark for dusk - carry something lighter for the drive home
- Polarised: some screens go dark
Cleaning. Rinse off grit first, then wipe. Never face-down on a table.
Protection. Every lens we sell, whatever its tint, is UV400: it blocks UVA and UVB up to 400 nm. The darkness of the tint has nothing to do with the UV filter.
Tested. Six people wore this frame for a month before it was listed. The drawbacks above are what they reported.
Orders from €80,00 ship free; below that it is €4,90. One to two working days in Italy, two to four for most of the EU.
Anything unworn, in its case with the cloth, can come back within 30 days. Hinges and lens coatings are covered for 2 years. The full policy.
