UV protection

Filter category 3Polarised

General-purpose sun lens with high sunglare reduction. Too dark for driving at night or in poor light. The retailer labels this ‘UV Protection: Category 3’; PowderedPurple has not measured the lens.

Before you wear them

  • Never look directly at the sun through any sunglasses, including during an eclipse.
  • Polarised lenses can make phone screens, car displays and some dashboard readouts hard to see at certain angles.
  • These are fashion sunglasses, not safety or sports eyewear, and are not impact-rated protection.
  • See an optometrist if you need prescription lenses or have an eye condition.

PowderedPurple assessment

The same New Wayfarer Asian Fit shape as the 901/58, here in a matte black finish with gradient blue polarised crystal lenses - darker at the top, lighter towards the bottom. The retailer publishes the full 55-18-145 size. A gradient lens is lighter in its lower half, which some wearers like for reading a screen but others find less comfortable in strong overhead sun. The retailer's side views show the gradient most clearly.
