The Butterscotch is a real ebony wood veneer frame with matching wood temples. A dark, close-grained timber that has a natural depth to it that acetate and polycarbonate simply can't replicate.
Ebony has a distinctive look, dense and smooth with a rich tone that wears well over time. The all-wood construction from frame to temple gives these sunnies a consistent, considered feel that stands out without making a noise about it.
Superdark Category 3 polarised lenses cut out serious light in full NZ sun. Superior stainless steel flexible hinges give a comfortable fit that holds up through regular daily use.
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
DrivingCuts glare off wet roads and oncoming windscreens so you're not squinting into the morning sun
Fishing and waterSee below the surface instead of staring at a mirror of reflected sky
Beach and outdoorsReduces the all-day eye fatigue that builds up when everything around you is reflecting light
Sport and activitySharper contrast and truer colours so you can read terrain, track movement and react faster
