Matte Black Sports Frames with Superdark Grey Lenses

Built for blokes who want a no-nonsense pair of sunnies. The Brock SD has a sporty wraparound shape that sits close to the face and stays put when you're on the move

Matte black frames keep things understated. No flashy bits, no shiny finish. Just a solid pair of shades that won't look out of place whether you're at the rugby or grabbing a pie on your lunch break

The superdark grey lenses are about as dark as you can get. If you're the type who cops the worst of the afternoon sun on the drive home or spends weekends out on the water, you'll notice the difference straight away

Category 3 polarised lenses do the heavy lifting when the NZ sun is at its worst. Bright skies, glare off the bonnet, light bouncing off the harbour. Sorted

They're light too. Chuck them on at 7am and you'll forget they're there by smoko. No pinching behind the ears, no sliding down your nose when things heat up

Good honest eyewear for guys who'd rather spend their money on gear that works than gear that looks fancy in a shop window

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
