Warm Tones and Silver Detail That Work Together

The Kiri polarised Brown is a large round frame that leans into its proportions rather than apologising for them. Light brown polycarbonate with silver pip detailing at the temples gives it a warm, considered finish, and the dark brown lenses tie the whole thing together without the contrast feeling forced.

Round frames this size suit oval and longer face shapes particularly well, and the generous coverage makes them a practical choice for a full day outdoors as much as a style one. These are shades that look like they belong somewhere nice but handle themselves just as well on a beach walk or a long drive.

The warm brown lens tone is worth noting as a deliberate choice over grey. Brown lenses tend to enhance contrast in natural light conditions, making greens richer and depth perception on the water slightly sharper. For time outdoors in typical NZ landscapes that difference is real.

Inner core wire temples make the frame strong and durable.

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
