Maximum Light Reduction, No Mirror Finish

The Blunt is the straightforward version of the wrap sports frame. Matte black throughout, super dark lenses with no mirror coating, nothing reflective or decorative pulling focus. It's a frame for people who want serious light reduction and full peripheral coverage without the look that comes with revo mirror lenses. The matte finish keeps it low profile in a way that gloss black and mirror options simply don't, which suits both the aesthetic and the practical intent of the frame.

Where the Vanguard is built around on-water performance with mirror lenses to match, the Blunt is a cleaner, quieter option that works just as well for driving, cycling, beach days or anywhere the NZ sun is properly out. The wrap profile pulls close to the face and handles peripheral glare the same way regardless of conditions.

Rated 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
