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 RB2240F is a Wayfarer in an Asian Fit cut, and this 1442/48 colourway is two-tone: the retailer lists the frame as grey on black, which our own intake data had wrong as plain black - worth knowing if you are after an all-black pair. Lenses are black polarised crystal. It is the only one of the four with a single retailer photograph, so the finish is harder to judge from this page; check the retailer's listing before ordering. Sizing is published at 52-22-150.
