Scicon // Optimal photochromic control

Eelke is enjoying some warm sun rays, skating around the Dutch countryside while his optical store is closed down. Holland is notorious for its bright skies and cloud covers. A beautiful sight, but sometimes hard to chose the proper sun lens. Fortunately, this Scicon frame came with some amazing photochromic lenses, and interchangeable “fenders” for if he wants to break some speed records!

Scicon has recently announced the collaboration with Essilor Sun Solution for the launch of a premium sunwear range. The SCN-XT sun lenses provided by the sun Division of Essilor Group will feature NXT® VARIA™ technology, the combination of outstanding material and optimal photochromic control.

NXT® material never compromises as it combines the best of mineral lenses’ optimal clarity and the best of organic lenses’ lightweight and impact resistance, while VARIA™ technology offers fast kinetics to ensure adjusted visibility in all weather conditions.

The SCN-XT sun lenses have been thought and customized for SCICON. The sunglasses are designed for cyclists, triathletes, and active people both in the Performance and Sport Lifestyle categories, each offering a range of options to provide the perfect fit on or off the bike.
