You have decided to consider using a high-performance visual aid for sport. Our lens technology is engineered by Zeiss – the very best in the world – we make no compromise in our lens delivery or the coating science applied to all our lens offerings.
Choose your frame system
The best place to start is selecting a frame system. We have a variety of frame models with various fitting. We basically use 2 different lens geometries across our entire brand platform – Base 6 lenses and Base 7 lenses in masks and Base 8 in dual lens models. The higher the number in base curve the more wrap to the glasses. Our Base 7 masks wrap more so they tend to be narrower in fit so they are more of an all-around fit to small needs. The Base 6 lenses are a less wrapped design offering a more generous fit for those needing more width to a pair glasses. The Base 6 masks are for average fit to large fit need. The reality is both a Base 6 and Base 7 product will work for normal fit needs. The 7 becomes more appropriate for narrow faces and smaller needs while the base 6 becomes necessary for someone with a larger needs.
Choosing a lens platform based on my sport
If you are a Clay shooter and want a significant lift to the target – look at the Max series of lenses. If you’re a hunter look at the “ED” platform of lenses from full sun to low light as well as our “HC” lenses as these perform extremely well in the field. If you are a pistol shooter look to get a mix of “ED” and “HC” lenses with a high transmittance value for indoors. (for more on what those abbreviations mean, see the answer to the question below about which lenses are best for which environments) We have a number of thought-out kits for various applications in our curated kit section of the site.
What if I need a prescription?
If you require prescriptive applications and have a normal to high corrective need stay with the Base 6 product as these are more friendly to a wider prescriptive offering. If you have a mild corrective need, both models will perform with prescriptions.
