Water sports:

​

• Wave Resistance: Sunglasses are tested in strong wave conditions and jumps to verify their resistance and stability.

• Visibility with Water Reflections: Athletes check the sunglasses' ability to reduce water reflections, improving visibility in strong sunlight.

• Secure Fit: It is evaluated whether the sunglasses remain in place even during intense movements and water impacts.

• Resistance to Sand and Scratches: Sunglasses are tested in beach and sand environments to ensure durability against potential scratches and wear.

 

Speed & Motion sports:

• Wind Resistance: Sunglasses are tested at high speeds to verify their stability and resistance to wind.

• Adaptation to Temperature Changes: Their performance when transitioning between cold and warm environments is evaluated.

• Helmet Compatibility: It is ensured that the sunglasses are compatible with different types of helmets.

• Impact Resistance from Particles: Athletes test the sunglasses against high-speed particles (dust, insects, etc.) to evaluate their resistance and protection.

• Visual Clarity and Glare Reduction: The sunglasses' ability to maintain clear and distortion-free vision, even at high speeds, is assessed.

 

TESTING BY DISCIPLINE

​

Kitesurf / Wingfoil / Windsurf / Wakeboard:

​

• Impact Resistance: Sunglasses are tested under conditions of falls and sudden maneuvers to verify their resistance to impacts.

• Grip During Fast Movements: Stability is tested during quick turns and abrupt movements, evaluating fit and comfort.

• Extreme Wind Resistance: Athletes check how securely and comfortably the sunglasses stay in strong wind conditions.

• Adaptation to Light Changes: The sunglasses’ ability to adapt to sudden light changes is tested.

• Resistance to Saltwater and Water Exposure: Their performance in contact with saltwater is evaluated to ensure no fogging or loss of visibility.

 

Paragliding / Highline / Base Jump:

​

• Wind Impact: Athletes test the sunglasses in strong wind conditions to evaluate their stability and resistance to extreme wind.

• Visibility at High Altitudes: Clear and distortion-free vision from great heights is verified.

• Stability in Turbulence: Sunglasses are tested in turbulence conditions to evaluate performance in extreme wind and unstable movement situations.

• Grip in Extreme Turns: The secure fit of the sunglasses during extreme maneuvers is assessed.

• Glare and Distortion Reduction: Athletes test the sunglasses' ability to minimize glare and visual distortion in conditions of high sun exposure.

 

MTB / Downhill / Trail Running / Cycling:

​

• Shock and Vibration Resistance: Sunglasses undergo impact tests to assess their durability during falls or collisions.

• Adaptation to Light Changes in Forested Areas: Their ability to adapt to sudden light changes when transitioning between sunny and shaded areas is evaluated.

• Impact Resistance: Athletes verify their ability to withstand hits or falls on rough terrain.

• Fit and Sweat Resistance: Sunglasses are tested to ensure they remain comfortable and secure, even in intense sweating conditions.

• Helmet Compatibility: Their comfortable fit with different helmet types is evaluated.

 

KOH Floating strap

​

• Buoyancy: The KOH floating strap is tested to ensure it keeps sunglasses afloat in case they fall into the water, preventing loss.

• Comfort and Fit: The strap is evaluated to guarantee a secure and firm fit, even during intense movements such as jumps or quick turns.

• Wave Resistance: The strap’s ability to withstand impact and movement in strong wave conditions is assessed, ensuring the sunglasses remain in place.
