Polaroid Vector 99 P7007A Glasses

Promise

Polaroid promise a dedicated sports sunglasses range featuring ultra-sight polarized lenses,100% UV protection and glare free vision. They claim to ‘set the gold standard’ when it comes to styling, robustness and visual clarity in the sporting arena, with Thermofusion technology developed from feedback by professional sports teams around the world.

Performance

We say, the glasses significantly reduced glare without compromise to clarity or the quality of vision and their super-flexibility means they are certainly durable. We tested the Vector 99 under varying conditions of glare whilst driving, running and sailing and were satisfied with their comfort and overall performance. What becomes more attractive was that similar Oakley lenses are over double the price than those from Polaroid and whilst purists may favour the ever-popular Oakley lenses, in the performance stakes The Vector 99 lenses are certainly up to scratch.

Verdict

On test, the new range of lenses certainly perform, offer good quality and prove value for money. Polaroid have retained their use of breakthrough technology and have allowed it to meet with contemporary design producing a pleasing and effective product.
