Peakvision A New Look on a Classic Style

Peakvision has put a new twist on a timeless classic, and although their new DG1 sunglasses are highly reminiscent of Ray-Ban's Wayfarers; the biggest difference is a remarkable new frame material technology.

These stylish shades are produced from a revolutionary new polymer, Ultematter, which is regarded as the titanium of plastics. Like titanium, this makes the DG1 incredibly lightweight, weighing in at a scant 19 grams. It also gives the DG1 long-term comfort, wearability and durability.

The DG1 is hyper-flexible, meaning they are harder to break. DG1 sunglasses are equipped with PEAKVISION's proprietary Zero-Distortion optics featuring patented Dual-Zone lens. Zero-Distortion optics delivers the clearest, sharpest vision whether you're watching that drive sail down the fairway against the bright blue sky or trying to pick up the color contrasts that make up the break of your record setting putt. With Zero-Distortion optics, you won't need to shed your shades around the greens.

Another key feature of PeakVision sunglasses is something called Dual-Zone lens technology. The top half of each lens is a neutral-density gray and blocks out direct sunlight, while the bottom portion is an amber color, which knocks out glare and really brings the greens into focus.

Many sunglasses companies tout their polycarbonate lenses, however PeakVision takes a different stance. The main benefit of polycarbonate is their impact resistance, however according to PeakVision, the disadvantages of poor clarity and increased distortion outweighs the benefits.

Something else: Peakvision's lenses are not polarized. While polarization may be helpful for activities like fishing, it distorts your peripheral vision - something you need on the golf course. Just think of how you would line up a shot chip shot; the type of shot where you need to see the target, your ball and the line all at once.

We all know that prolonged exposure to the sun causes long-term damage to your eyes, but what you may not realize is that the green grass of the golf course reflects a lot of the glare back up at you. The PeakVision DG1 sunglasses are suitable for just about any light; they even cut down the glare on those cloudy days. The DG1 sunglasses improved my vision on the golf course tremendously and they are so lightweight, you forget you're wearing them.

Peakvision gives you plenty of frame styles to choose from, but my favorites are the DG1 which bears a strong resemblance to one of my all-time favorites the Ray-Ban Wayfarer. There are also a variety of finishes including flat matte, metallic looks and tortoise. With each pair of PeakVision glasses, you'll get a rugged zippered case and a microfiber cloth for wiping away smudges.

If you're in the market for a new pair of high-end sunglasses, you owe it to yourself to give Peakvision a try. Check out the PeakVision Lens demonstration on their website. This will give you an idea of how these sunglasses change natural light into eye-popping colors that make golf balls easier to follow in the air and help you see the contour of the greens better.

Since Peakvision sunglasses are not widely known or available at many brick-and-mortar shops, the best place to order them from is the website.
