Get an edge in outdoor activities.

Transitions® Drivewear® sun lenses not only improve vision, they give wearers an edge. Whether your pursuits are driving, participating in leisure or elite sport, or merely enjoying the outdoors, Transitions Drivewear delivers optimal vision in every condition so you can perform your best.

The outdoor activities Transitions Drivewear is suitable for is nearly limitless, particularly because it’s available in impact-resistant lens materials. Below we focus on how Transitions Drivewear can give you an edge when driving, cycling, golfing and fishing.

Driving

Whether racing your pride and joy, tackling your 4×4 off road, coasting in your vintage roadster, or simply driving for necessity, there’s one thing you can’t do without. Your vision.

Driving demands a lot from our eyes; driving in blinding sunlight, on wet roads, in fog, in the rain or with glare reflecting off other surfaces. Not to mention we need to decipher road signs and traffic signals along the way. So, if you are wanting an extra edge when racing or are simply serious about safe driving, sunglass choice should not be an inconsequential afterthought.

As a photochromic and polarized sunglass lens, Transitions Drivewear offers ultimate vision and safety. It changes colour behind the car windscreen, while also automatically darkening its tint (lightens or darkens to match current lighting conditions).

Polarization

Polarized lenses enhance contrast for crisp high definition vision. It cuts blinding glare – a frequent cause of road accidents – reflected off roads, cars, buildings, wet surfaces, dashboard and bodies of water. Helps to identify road hazards in bright and blinding glare situations.

Polarization blocks unexpected bright light or road glare in overcast conditions; a time when the eye is particularly susceptible having accommodated to the overcast conditions. Improves vision in rain, fog and hazy conditions.

Transitions Drivewear features world leading NuPolar polarization. Tests prove no other polarized lens comes close to NuPolar in overall performance.

Photochromic

Lenses seamlessly change darkness based on available light to ensure lenses are the right density/darkness for current conditions.

Regular photochromics don’t work behind a car windscreen because they are activated by UV light and windscreens block UV.

Transitions Drivewear DOES activate behind the windscreen because it reacts to both visible and UV light, so the lenses will darken in bright light and lighten in low light.

Transitions Drivewear is powered by the unequalled world leading Transitions photochromic technology. The lens fades to 63% tint in low light, darkens up to 75% when driving, and darkens up to 90% in bright outdoor light.

100% UV Blockage

The sun’s damaging rays are a risk to eye health. UV has been linked to cataract, skin cancers around the eye and pterygium (growth on the eye), so UV blockage is a must. Transitions Drivewear blocks 100% of UV rays.

Lightweight

Lightweight lenses are a must for maximum comfort. Transitions Drivewear lenses are made from lightweight materials such as Trilogy Trivex and polycarbonate.

Impact Resistance

Resistant to impact so lenses will not shatter if dropped or if the wearer is hit in the face. Transitions Drivewear lenses are made from several impact resistant materials, including Trilogy Trivex and polycarbonate.

Anti-Scratch

Protects lenses and enhances durability. Anti-scratch coating can be easily applied to Transitions Drivewear lenses when buying from your optometrist. Transitions Drivewear ready-made sunglasses in non-prescription come with anti-reflective coating.

Prescription & Non-Prescription

Transitions Drivewear is available in both prescription and non-prescription lenses from your optometrist. Ready-made non-prescription sunglasses in a choice of 16 frames are also available.

Quality

High quality Transitions Drivewear lenses are manufactured by Younger Optics, a global leader in optical and ophthalmic lenses for more than 60 years. Developed with ophthalmologists and optometrists in the US, Transitions Drivewear combines two global leading technologies: Transitions photochromics and NuPolar polarization.

Copper Lens

Copper lenses accentuate colour for improved contrast and depth perception to better spot potential hazards, improved traffic signal recognition and increased legibility of road signs.

Transitions Drivewear automatically changes to a copper colour when driving in medium to bright sunlight. Tint darkens up to 75% and the polarization blocks any blinding glare. Outside of the car, the lens changes to a copper colour in the shade and in light overcast conditions.

Yellow / Olive Lens

A light yellow/olive lens colour when driving during the day in low light conditions allows more light to enter the eye and enhances contrast and depth perception. Ideal for early morning, fog, haze, overcast conditions and dusk.

Transitions Drivewear changes to a light yellow/olive tint in low light conditions both inside and outside the car to maximise contrast and depth perception. The lens lightens to 63% tint, while the polarization blocks any glare.

Dark Brown Lens

A good all-round lens colour choice for outdoors in high ambient light conditions. Filters light to protect against bright sunlight and enhances contrast. Provides excellent depth perception.

In bright sunlight Transitions Drivewear changes to a dark brown colour with a 90% tint. The polarization blocks blinding glare.

Cycling

Sunglasses are essential cycling kit. Not only do sunglasses enhance road and trail visibility as well as comfort, they also protect the eyes from wind, flying bugs, dust and debris. With a seemingly endless array of cycling sunglasses available, which do you choose for protection and performance? What are the best lens options to suit the changing conditions riders face throughout their ride?

Transitions Drivewear is the ultimate sunglass lens solution for cycling. It seamlessly changes to three different colours and is photochromic to darken and lighten depending on the available sunlight. Transitions Drivewear is also polarized to block blinding glare. Performing in all weather conditions, Transitions Drivewear takes you from dark early morning starts to bright midday sun, and to the long shadows of late afternoon in all weather conditions whether that be glaring sun, overcast, fog or rain.

Polarization

Cuts blinding glare reflected off wet roads, bodies of water, cars and buildings. Polarized lenses enhance contrast for crisp high definition vision. On very bright days, polarization blocks glare without having to wear a dark grey tinted lens, which is not ideal for cycling. Dark grey tinted lenses offer poor contrast when cycling so you could miss road or trail hazards while also being too dark to see details in the shadows. Transitions Drivewear features world leading NuPolar polarization. Tests prove no other polarized lens comes close to NuPolar in overall performance.

Photochromic

Lenses seamlessly change darkness based on light intensity. Tint darkens when the sun is bright and fades in lower light, making it ideal for early morning rides that extend into the day. Only one pair of sunglasses is needed throughout the day, even when weather conditions change hour-to-hour. Transitions Drivewear is powered by the unequalled world leading Transitions photochromic technology, fading to 63% in low light and darkening up to 90% in bright light.

Next to your putter, vision is the most important asset on the course with sunglasses being one of the essential golf bag accessories. Sunglasses can significantly enhance your game by helping to better study the green and allowing you to follow the ball as it flies through the air and across the fairways. For each weather condition, a specific lens colour will perform better than others, just as lens colour can impact performance in certain golf tasks. The effectiveness of lens darkness depends on the amount of sunlight present at the time.

Transitions Drivewear is a single sunglass solution. It seamlessly changes to three different colours, optimising the eye’s physiology in varying light conditions. It is photochromic to darken and lighten depending on the available sunlight, and polarized to block blinding glare. Transitions Drivewear is an ideal lens solution that in all weather conditions can take you from the car, to the green, to the late afternoon barbecue.

Polarization

Polarization cuts distracting glare to provide a more comfortable viewing experience. Polarized lenses enhance contrast for crisp high definition vision.
