Vuarnet 2408

Vuarnet has been making high quality sunglasses with glass lenses for years. The above model is marked as the 2408 but the lenses are consistent with the PX-4000 series of lenses that are called the Skilynx series and are designed for the high altitude and high glare environment one is faced with when skiing.The Skilynx series of lenses have double gradient mirroring on the outside and an anti-reflective blue coating on the inside, they have an average light filtration of 88% and give a warm yellow cast to the outside world. When first wearing Vuarnet sunglasses with this type of lens you are surprised by the color cast but it actually very pleasing to the eye.
