CATEGORY 4 SUNGLASSES FOR SPORT: 'NIMBUS DARK'
UK brand Rapid Eyewear have been manufacturing their range of specialised sunglasses for over twelve years. Based on the ever-popular Nimbus wrap-around sports frame, 'Nimbus Dark' adds a lens which is the darkest tint available using the internationally recognised categorisation system. A category 4 lens is perfect for use in extreme sun conditions, including at altitude.
The Frames
Made from a robust yet lightweight TR90 composite, the frame is finished in an attractive matt black colour. it features sprung side arms and rubber side arm extensions for an ultra comfortable fit. The Nimbus frame is designed to fit most adults; a slight built-in flex means the frame will 'mould' itself to your head comfortably. The wrap-around sports shape prevents light intrusion from the sides of your vision.
The Lenses
Nimbus has lenses cut from an impact-resistant polycarbonate material. Each lens is decentred, to calibrate the field of view such that the slight curvature does not distort your vision.
Pouch & Accessories
A microfibre pouch is supplied, that doubles as a cleaning cloth. if you would like a retainer strap, please select this option from the menu at the top of this page before completing your purchase. A wide range of additional lenses are available for this frame - to view these, please click here.
Conformity and Legal
Nimbus sunglasses comply with all current British, European and US standards. They offer 100% UV protection.
Important Note: Driving
Please note that category 4 sunglasses are NOT suitable for driving, cycling, motorbiking or any other road use. They are designated as 'dangerous' for use on the road according to all major international standards. We cannot be responsible for any loss or injury resulting from the use of these sunglasses for any of the activities listed above. Category 4 sunglasses allow less than 10% of the visible spectrum through the lenses and into your eyes. Most car windscreens are tinted, and this reduces the amount of visible light even further.
