Created for athletes by athletes, the Switch Boreal polarized interchangeable sunglasses employ an innovative magnetic system that's easy to use on the go—no more bulky, mechanical lens swaps.

Polarized lenses reduce 99% of visible glare from water, snow, sand and pavement for increased visual acuity and decreased eye strain
Switch interchangeable system uses high-energy embedded magnets, so lenses jump into place when brought near the frames
Magnets are engineered to stay in place when subjected to the intense jarring of skiing, snowboarding, running or mountain biking
Superior grade nylon frames offer a consistent fit and flexibility in all temperatures and are extremely impact resistant
Frames include 2 sets of lenses—1 set of polarized lenses for bright light and 1 set of non-polarized, rose-tinted lenses for low light
Matte black frames come with gray polarized lenses, which provide true color definition on bright, sunny days
Cactus frames come with amber polarized lenses, which enhance contrast on bright, sunny days
Lightweight and virtually shatterproof, polycarbonate lenses are 20 times more impact resistant than glass and one-third the weight
TriGuard™ thin-film lens coating is easy to clean, withstands rough handling and causes water to bead up and run off
Magnetic LensPod™ keeps your lenses protected in an easy-to-carry, contoured case
Switch Boreal polarized sunglasses also come with a microfiber cleaning pouch
Medium to large fit

Imported.

Comments about Switch Boreal Polarized Interchangeable Sunglasses:

The glasses fit and look great. Lenses have excellent clarity in visibility, but I accidently dropped them in a restroom, and the lenses flew out across the floor into other stalls. I was up skiing, and didn't have the other set of lenses, so was afraid to pick them up and discover they were damaged. The lenses were in good condition, so I reinserted them. Now every time I use them I'm afraid of dropping, bumping or falling while skiing. A fall on the slopes, or bumping during a hike would surely dislodge them again. If the lenses fall to a place you cannot recover them, and you are not prepared with the other set, you're out of luck.
