Full Coverage, Two Colourways Worth Picking Between

The Blunt-RV- polarised is a wrap frame built around function first. The blunt, squared-off profile gives it a more purposeful look than a typical sports wrap, and the two colourways take that in different directions. Grey frames with blue mirror lenses have a cooler, cleaner feel that works on the water or the road.

Black frames with orange mirror lenses are bolder and suit high-contrast conditions particularly well, with orange lenses known for sharpening definition in variable or overcast light. Both are worth considering depending on the conditions you spend the most time in.

The wrap design earns its place here. Standard frames leave gaps at the sides where peripheral glare gets in, which adds up over a long day outdoors. The Blunt-RV's coverage addresses that directly, keeping stray light out without the bulk of a full sport goggle. At 13.5 cm wide and 4.5 cm high the fit is close and stays put through movement.

Matte polycarbonate keeps the weight down. Polarised Category 3 for high sun conditions.

Size: 13.5 cm wide x 4.5 cm high.

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
