A Bloc legend:
Bloc Eyewear is never short of thrill and excitement when it comes to sports and fashion eye wear. This review is about one of its most tempting sunglasses in its product line namely the Bloc Sport Stealth Sunglass. No real surprise if we call this lightweight Stealth a Bloc legend. Part of Bloc’s Life/Sport range, the Bloc Stealth can fit medium to large adult faces.
TR90 half frame:
The stealth features a TR90 half frame that is really tough and compliant. Their virtually unbreakable nature, greater strength, flexibility and the light weightness of the frame accounts for better performance in all your high-speed pursuits. The fit of the hand-finished black frames is pretty good.
Safety features:
This Sport Stealth sunglass comes with moulded nose pads that sit well on either side of your nose and prevents the eyelashes from hitting the lenses. The slip resistant temple pads are designed in such a way so as to prevent slipping and enhance comfort level. This sunglass is fitted with Integral sport hinges that offers high durability and carbon fibre reinforcement protects the sunglass against accidental impacts.
Karbon 8 Optical class one shield lens:
This Bloc Sport Stealth sunglass features Karbon 8 Optical class one shield lens that is basically tough, impact resistant, light weight and provides 100% protection against UVA, UVB & UVC rays, wind and airborne objects. Not to mention that the lenses have an anti-scratch coating that accounts for optimum performance. The core materials are soft and give you a perfect fit and are completely non-irritant.
VERMILION CAT. 3 Hue:
The sunglass features VERMILION CAT. 3, a unique hue that gives you enhanced vision and clarity no matter whether you are at home on street, mountain or beach even in the brightest of conditions. The grey content guarantees natural colour transmission and the vermilion increases red, green and yellow, at the same time reducing a high degree of blue light. This results in increased perception of detail and minimises eye fatigue. There are four interchangeable lenses including Yellow Lens (CAT.1), Clear Lens (CAT.1), HDL Lens (CAT.2) and VE5 Lens (CAT.3) that let you adjust to all sports and all weather conditions.
Category 1 Lens provides 80-43% light transmission and can be used at low light conditions. Category 2 lens that provides 43-18% light transmission is useful for medium to bright light conditions. Category 3 Lens is useful under bright and extremely Bright Conditions and features18-8% light transmission level.
