Description
Black Night UNCUT frame with Silver Glacier lenses.
Open lens. Open flow. All control.
UNCUT is built around an exposed, sharp-cut lens and a sculpted frame that stays out of your way. The lens edges are cut back to open up airflow and peripheral vision. A channelled vent pattern across the brow keeps air moving while you do, cutting heat, moisture and fog as the pace picks up.
The lenses are ZEISS ThermoForce™, built to reduce infrared heat load in strong sun. They block up to 92% of infrared radiation to keep your eyes cool, and cut glare up to 5x more effectively than traditional polarized lenses. TriPel™ coating repels water, sweat, oils and dirt, and stops moisture from clinging to the lens to reduce fogging through humidity, temperature shifts and hard efforts. Full 100% UVA/UVB protection, with a 7B toric curve that wraps the lens close to the face for clean, undistorted vision to the edges. The frame is aerospace-grade nylon, light, flexible and impact resistant, and the whole pair weighs just 27g.
Silver Glacier lets through 16.63% of visible light, the darkest tint in the range and built for strong, direct sun.
Fast. Direct. Locked in. This is UNCUT.
Please note: Lenses may appear lighter/more transparent than they are due to the flash used when taking the product images.

Technology
ThermoForce™: Engineered to reduce infrared heat load and stabilize optical performance during high-output activity. Helps minimize heat buildup behind the lens in strong sunlight while maintaining visual clarity across changing temperatures and conditions.
TriPel™: Hydrophobic and oleophobic coating designed to repel water, sweat, oils and dirt from the lens surface. Also helps reduce fogging during high humidity, temperature shifts and intense efforts by preventing moisture from clinging to the lens.
