Sports enthusiasts wearing Tifosi Optics Polarized Fototec eyewear have a new motto when it comes to eye protection: no case, no spare lenses, no problem.

For the past year, Tifosi Fototec lenses have allowed cycling enthusiasts the freedom of riding for an entire day without ever changing lenses. In keeping with a strong reputation for staying on the cutting edge of technology, Tifosi Optics has added three Polarized Fototec lenses to the 2007 product line.

Fototec lenses are blended with microscopic photochromes that change tint when exposed to UV rays while still providing 100 percent UVA/UVB protection. Polarized Fototec lenses combine the versatility of polycarbonate Fototec lenses with the glare eliminating properties of polarized lenses.

Decreased glare means less eye fatigue, allowing the wearer to enjoy more time on the water or slopes. Since Polarized Fototec lenses change from light to dark in about eight seconds, the same pair of shades can be worn from first morning light, through the afternoon and into the evening.

The Smoke Polarized Fototec lens has a light transmission range of 34 to 12 percent. Smoke is a neutral tint that minimizes color distortion and performs well for all-day activities.

Developed specifically for fishing, Open Water Green absorbs glare and allows the wearer to see fish below the surface of the water. The yellow properties of this lens enhance contrast by filtering out hazy blue light. With a light transmission range of 28 to 11 percent, this tint is designed to be worn in overcast and rainy conditions as well as in bright light.

High Speed Red Polarized Fototec enhances visual depth by providing a small amount of contrast. The light transmission range is from 26 to 9 percent, resulting in a versatile tint perfect for both low light and extremely bright light conditions.

Tifosi Optics Polarized Fototec lenses have a suggested retail of $89.95, and will be on display at booth 71025 at the 2007 Outdoor Retailer Tradeshow in Salt Lake City.

Since its incorporation in 2003, Tifosi Optics has been developing and distributing technologically-advanced, value-oriented eyewear for enthusiasts of all sports. For more information on Tifosi Optics visit www.tifosioptics.com.
