DANG SHADE|LOCO

Useful for everyday use due to the blue light cut function

LOCO Black soft x Light amber PREMIUM LENS

Color: Black
Lens: Light amber / polarized lens / premium lens
Visible light transmittance: about 35%
¥ 5,940

◆ Official HP / https://dangshades.jp/

Japan limited frame "LOCO" that fits Japanese faces.
The anti-fogging treatment makes it perfect for balaclavas and masks. I think it will be used especially frequently in Haruyama, but the blue light cut function makes it useful for everyday use. In addition, since these sunglasses are easy to drop or lose, the conscientious pricing is also attractive. The premium lenses come in three colors: amber, black, and blue, and the frames are all black. Made in Japan.

DANG SHADE|PREMIUM LENS SERIES

Specially processed "premium lenses" always keep a comfortable field of vision

FENTON BLACK SOFT x LIGHT AMBER PREMIUM LENS

Color: Black
Lens: Light amber / polarized lens / premium lens
Visible light transmittance: about 35%
¥ 5,940

◆ Official HP / https://dangshades.jp/

Polarization and UV protection are Motilon, and the recommended point for these sunglasses is the non-fog lenses!
In this era when masks and neck tubes have become must-have items, there are many skiers and snowboarders who have problems with their lenses clouding from snorts!? The most annoying thing about sunglasses and goggles is "lens fogging". These sunglasses are really fog resistant.

SWANS | _

Even though it is a photochromic lens, it is in the 7000 yen range! Really recommended with overwhelming cost performance

SNOWFIELD SF-03 MAY

Color: Matte yellow (5 colors in total)
Lens: Silver mirror x polarized smoke
Visible light transmittance: 13% (polarization degree of 90% or more)
¥ 7,150

◆ Official HP / https://www.swans.co.jp

No matter what you say, this retro feeling!! It reminds me of the ski bubble days.
The frame color is 5 colors, and the lens is a polarized mirror or a photochromic lens. The price is in the 7000 yen range even with dimming. Overwhelming cost performance is a big trend in the industry! It's cheap, but it protects your eyes well, and if the weather is good, you can ski well, and there is no problem with visibility at all. I can really recommend it.
