Men Sunglasses, PZ10047 Unisex-Sunglasses

The Avatar is a square aviator in polycarbonate. Lightweight, tough, and shaped with a broader angular look compared to a traditional rounded aviator.

Superdark polarised lenses block out serious amounts of light. These are the lenses you want when the sun is at full strength and regular tints aren't cutting it.

Polycarbonate frames are lighter than standard acetate and hold up well to knocks and drops. If you're rough on your eyewear, these can handle it.

Category 3 polarised lenses rated for the harshest NZ conditions, whether that's open water, ski fields, or long highway drives with the sun in your face.

Inner core wire through each temple gives you control over the fit. Shape them to your head and they'll hold position without losing their form over time.

Size: 14 cm wide x 5 cm high.

The square aviator takes a classic silhouette and gives it a more modern, angular edge. Read our guide to the history and style of aviator sunglasses in NZ.

Polarised Lenses

New Zealand sun is some of the most intense in the world, and standard tinted lenses only solve part of the problem. They darken the view but leave the glare. iPOP polarised lenses have a built-in glare-filtering layer that targets the specific type of light that causes the problem in the first place.

How polarised lenses work

Glare happens when sunlight bounces off a flat surface, water, wet roads, a car bonnet and hits your eyes as a concentrated horizontal beam. Your eyes struggle to process it, so you squint, strain, and lose visual detail in the process. Polarised lenses block that horizontal light before it reaches your eyes, so surfaces become readable again rather than a wall of reflected brightness. On a typical New Zealand summer day, the difference is noticeable within minutes of putting them on.

Where it makes a real difference

Driving Cuts glare off wet roads and oncoming windscreens so you're not squinting into the morning sun

Fishing and water See below the surface instead of staring at a mirror of reflected sky

Beach and outdoors Reduces the all-day eye fatigue that builds up when everything around you is reflecting light

Sport and activity Sharper contrast and truer colours so you can read terrain, track movement and react faster
