If you’re so brutal on sunglasses you deem them disposable, an innovative company called Numa Tactical could change your outlook. Numa uses a high-tech Swiss memory fiber for its frames that rebounds back to its original shape, no matter how you abuse them. One Numa model is so pliable it can be tied into a pretzel when its interchangeable lenses are removed.
“Hard-core outdoor enthusiasts have tested our frames for the past three years, and they’ve proven nearly impossible to break,” said Numa President Jake Bennett. “Our proprietary material makes the frames crash-proof.” Swiss SWAT teams have already adopted Numas as standard-issue equipment, and Numa Tactical is now the official eyewear of both Checkpoint Zero Adventure Racing and Primal Quest Adventure Racing.
German partners craft Numa’s distortion-free, shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses, which block 100% of harmful UV (A, B and C) rays. Polarized lenses are available in Smoke and low-light Yellow. The low-light offering was designed specifically for the fishing market, where it is crucial to cut through glare to see beneath the water’s surface even in the dim light of dawn or dusk.
Numa’s four frame offerings include the SWAT, X-Frame, Shark and LoPro. They range in price from $99 to $200. Interchangeable lens systems for the SWAT, X-Frame and Shark allow users to pick the right degree of light-filtration as lighting conditions change. Need a prescription? The SWAT and LoPro are Rx compatible.
Should the unthinkable happen, Numa provides a no-questions-asked manufacturer’s lifetime warranty. Contact: info@numatactical.com ; www.numatactical.com ; tel: 646-648-0099.
