Kaenon Sunglasses use SR-91 Technology
Kaenon Sunglasses use SR-91 technology perhaps the finest polarized lens in the world. Here are the technical aspects of how it works. This is the direct quote from the Kaenon website
“Glass wasn’t strong enough. Polycarbonate wasn’t clear enough. Neither material allowed for adequate customization of tints and Light Transmission Levels. So we set out to develop our own, completely new polarized lens material. Kaenon’s proprietary SR-91 is the only polarized lens that combines the superior optical quality of the finest glass and the lightest weight, strength and impact resistance of polycarbonate. Only the best properties. No compromises. No short-cuts.”
Validated By Athletes
SR-91® is truly an original, proprietary, polarized lens material. It’s not just an existing lens technology renamed and repackaged with fancy marketing spin like what other sunglass companies do. See how SR-91 compares to other polarized lenses such as glass, CR-39, and polycarbonate.
“We’re not the only ones who have put SR-91 to the test. SR-91 has been validated on the playing field by some of the world’s best athletes in sports ranging from Golf to Baseball, Cycling to Snow Skiing, Mountain Biking to Fly Fishing and Sailing. In addition, COLTS laboratories, an independent testing facility, has certified SR-91 lenses with an optical clarity of 40 lines of resolution – the highest possible score for optical clarity based on the stringent U.S. government testing standard, ANSI Z.87.1. And COLTS has found SR-91 exceeded the high-mass impact standards mandated by ANSI Z.87.1.”
