Look deep into the soul of Kaenon®.
Some revolutions are not begun with a bang or a shout. Some revolutions
quietly appeal to the senses, the intellect and even the soul. They
are born out of constant thought and intense passion to effect change and
to drive progress. At Kaenon®
polarized, we strive to evolve our world optically. This pursuit has
led us to create the most advanced polarized lens technology on the
planet. So its no wonder that our revolution begins not with a
mindless shout, but an intelligent whisper.
The Next Generation of Polarized Lens
Technology™
Discover a revolutionary new lens material--Kaenon Polarized SR-91®.
It's made of neither glass nor polycarbonate but a completely new
polarized lens material that combines the best properties of both--the
superior optical quality of the finest glass lenses and the lighter weight
and stronger impact resistances of the best polycarbonate lenses.
With an entire
range of specially designed lens tints and proprietary Light Transmission
Levels™, the SR-91
lens can be customized to perform in any weather condition, activity and
time of day.
Razor sharp clarity.
Ultra-lightweight. Impact-resistant. Precisely customized. In short,
SR-91 is the most advanced polarized lens available.
Tested by world-class athletes
and adventurers in the harshest environments, Kaenon Polarized invites you
to see for yourself. Look in the revolutionary Soul of Kaenon, and you'll
find the next generation of polarized lens technology. Kaenon Polarized®.
Evolve Optically.

Kaenon
Polarized SR-91®.
Not Glass. Not polycarbonate. Not CR-39.
Introducing Kaenon Polarized SR-91®, a revolutionary new lens material
that takes polarized technology to the next level. SR-91 is not
made of glass, polycarbonate, or CR-39, but a radically new polarized
lens material invented by our engineers. While filtering out all
harmful UV and blue light, SR-91 combines the highest optical quality
of the finest glass lenses with the ultra-light weight and strong
impact resistance of the best polycarbonate lenses. Glass lenses
provide high optical acuity, but they're heavy and can shatter.
On the other hand, polycarbonate lenses are light and impact
resistant, but their optical clarity is relatively poor.

polycarbonate. Middle: Glass. Bottom: Kaenon Polarized.
Colts Laboratories, an independent testing facility has certified
Kaenon Polarized SR-91 lenses with an optical acuity and clarity
rating of 40 lines of resolution--the highest possible score in the
definition and resolving power category of the stringent US government
testing standard, ANSI Z.87.1. Colts also found that SR-91 exceed the
high-mass impact standards demanded by Z.87.1. |
Kaenon Polarized Glare 86®
Element.
Polarizing the world.
The foundation of the revolutionary lens technology is the unique
combination of our SR-91® lens material and the proprietary Glare 86®
polarizing element. Glare 86--merely 30 microns thin--was specially
engineered for SR-91. A complex lens manufacturing process
encapsulates the Glare 86 film into the SR-91 lens material. Glare
86 also houses the purpose-built tints and prescribed Light Transmission
Levels in each lens.
The molecules in the Glare 86 polarizing element run in parallel,
horizontal lines and act as a filter to block out irritating glare. This
process maximizes optical acuity and eliminates distortion--a breakthrough
in highly wrapped and raked non-glass polarized lenses. Unlike other
polarizing elements, Glare 86 offers exceptional polarizing capability,
effectively eliminating up to 99% of glare.
Kaenon
Polarized Multi-Layer Lens Treatment System
Each Kaenon lens is treated with the following specially developed,
proprietary lens coatings:
1. Hydrophobic Coating (front surface): Designed to shed water
and snow from the surface of the lens. This prevents water spots from
distorting your vision. Also allows for easier lens cleaning.
2. Flash Mirror Coating: Designed to reduce overhead glare
even before it reaches the Glare 86 polarizing element, resulting in
greater optical comfort and performance. (some Kaenon products may
be offered without a mirror coating)
3. Anti-Scratch Hard Coating (front surface). This hardcoat
layer is designed to further protect the lens from scratching.
4. Kaenon's Proprietary Lens Material (with encapsulated Glare 86
polarizing element): The polarized lenses are created by a unique
and complex manufacturing process which completely encapsulates the Glare
86 polarizing element in the lens material SR-91.
5. Anti-Scratch Hard Coating (rear surface): This hardcoat
layer is designed to further protect the lens from scratching.
6. Multi-Layer Anti-Reflective Coating: Prevents light from
bouncing off the back of the lens into your eye. This further enhances the
optical acuity of our lenses by eliminating distorting reflections.
7. Hydrophobic Coating (rear surface): Designed to shed water
and snow from the rear surface of the lens. Prevents water spots from
distorting your vision. Also allows for easier cleaning.
Kaenon
Polarized Frame Materials:
Kaenon Sport frames are designed to perform. They're injection molded
exclusively from TR-90, a highly advanced nylon-based material that is
uniquely formulated for strength, flexibility, and memory retention as
well as light weight. It withstands harsh elements without breaking down
or losing its finish.
Kaenon Street Frames are hand-made from exclusive laminates and color
lay-ups of cellulose acetate. This material allows for luxurious looks
with rich colors, unique patterns, and hand-polished finishes.
Kaenon
Polarized Variflex™.
The nose pads and temple tips are made of a unique and proprietary
hydrophilic substance called Variflex™. This
material becomes tackier as you sweat, so it grips your skin while
securely anchoring your Kaenon frame in a comfortable position--even in
the most rigorous activities.
Kaenon Polarized Frame Geometry.
Kaenon Polarized Frame Geometry incorporates advanced 3D CAD/CAM design
and engineering technology, innovative new materials, and performance
driven design. The result: our ultimate sport frame, Kore™.
A cutting edge design, it's incredibly lightweight, durable and ergonomic.
We used the performance driven design of Kore as a model fore each of the
Kaenon polarized frames. With inventive and soulful designs, Kaenon
Polarized Sport and Street Frames achieve an unparalleled balance of form
and function.

Kaenon Polarized Light Transmisson
Control (LTC™)
Customize your vision and performance.
Not content with creating an entirely new lens material, Kaenon Polarized
continues to advance polarized eyewear by being the first to develop Light
Transmission Control (LTC™) technology. LTC allows you to control the
exact amount of light that is transmitted to your eye, adjusting it
perfectly for different weather, light and terrain conditions. LTC
technology is a combination of our proprietary Light Transmission Levels (LTL®)
and our specially designed lens tints. .
By combining the correct LTL with one of our three specific lens
tints--Grey, Copper and Yellow--Kaenon Polarized offers the perfect
polarized lens to enhance and tune your vision to any situation. Kaenon
polarized lenses range from LTL 12™-- to the darkest lens, LTL 50™--the
lightest lens.
