Whether on roads, cross-country, or on the track, running
demands stamina and determination. The vital importance of
the correct eyewear cannot be underestimated, and the new
top model in the adidas sunglasses running collection, the
adiZERO, has been specifically created to meet the many
demands of the athlete.
The adiZERO is a very versatile, lightweight and comfortable wrap around sports sunglass model available in two sizes. The
larger model, adiZERO a170, weighs a mere 22g, and the smaller version, the adiZERO a171, weighs only 20g. The frame itself
is made from SPX, a renowned material whose exceptional properties ensure flexibility, scratch and abrasion resistance, and long
durability.
The adiZERO sunglasses also feature an innovative S-shape curve arm design that is new to adidas, and has been incorporated
into the frame along with Traction Grip™ technology, a soft yet gripping material integrated into the temples to ensure optimum
comfort and non-slip wear. These features ensure that the adiZERO provides a stable yet pressure free fit. The S-shape curve
arm design also ensures that the adiZERO sunglasses can be worn comfortably under a cap or a visor.
The inclusion of a double snap nose bridge provides double level height adjustment of the nose bridge to suit the individual wearer.
Rather than risk the frame becoming damaged, adidas have incorporated their patented quick-release hinge system into the
design of the adiZERO sunglasses, which ensures that the temples release under exertion of impact force. The sunglass temples
of the adiZERO model are also fitted with the adidas Tri.Fit system, which not only provides three level height adjustments to
ensure the optimal fit for each wearer, but also eradicates the dazzling effects of light rays.
The adiZERO sunglasses are available with various lens options as standard, but adidas have primarily focused on incorporating
lenses that feature LST (Light Stabilising Technology) capabilities as these help to reduce the eye fatigue that can be so trying to
runners.
It is worth noting the LST polarised and LST Vario lenses in particular as respectively
they are excellent for use around reflective surfaces/adjust their depth of tint in
relation to the weather conditions to which they are exposed. Additional lenses for
the adiZERO sunglasses, providing a broad spectrum of different tint options and
technical specifications can be purchased separately, which merely enhances the
versatility of this sunglasses model. Adidas favour the use of polycarbonate lenses
in the manufacture of their sunglasses due to their high impact resistance; they also
ensure optimal vision combined with total protection from UVA, B and C radiation.
The adiZERO sunglasses are also able to accommodate a prescription optical
clip-in, which allows our expert laboratory technicians to meet the requirements of
the majority of clients.
