The "Category - CAT" number indicates the level of light transmission in the visible range. How clearly and extensively you can perceive your surroundings largely depends on the lens you choose.
Lens FALCON
Since eye protection is the most important part of a pair of sunglasses, our lenses offer UV400 protection. In addition, they are equipped with a Nano-HD coating to recognise contrasts in all light conditions and to deflect water droplets on the lens. The lenses can be replaced quickly and easily thanks to the plug-in system.
A total of 6 different lenses are available for The FALCON. There is a suitable lens for each weather condition. See the table below for details.
