Our Designs: Zeal Optics
frames are 100% our own unique designs: If it doesn't say Zeal then it
is not a quality Zeal product. Zeal ACTV interchangeable lens
nylon frames offer you the lightest, strongest and most durable nylon
blend frames available. Zeal Optics patented P.A.S.V. (Passive
Airflow System Ventilation) allows cooler air from the outside enter the
front frame vents while pulling the warmer, moist air from the inside of
the lens out through the side and top of the lens. The inner air
space is continuously refreshed, virtually eliminating fog issues.
Interchangeable silicon nose pads and PASV sweat guards allow you to
customize the fit and function of the frames. Zeal's newest
addition in frame technology is the ULTRA-LUX Metal series featuring
lightweight, durable metals in nickel steel and super lightweight
titanium. Like all Zeal products our new ULTRA-LUX metal series is
the most comfortable metal frame you'll ever wear.
Zeal Optics--The Swap-Out™
Specialists.
All of our performance/performance-fashion high strength, grylamid
nylon frames are made to accept the interchangeability of lenses,
removable and replaceable sweatguards & silicone pieces (specific
models). That is why we offer so many color options in ACTV
Polarized and non-polarized. You can customize your Zeal frames
with the lens color that best suits the weather, terrain conditions or
your mood. Zeal Optics eyewear allows you to have the equivalent
of multiple eyewear pieces, all in one frame. Just pick your lens,
swap-out the previous lens, pop in your current lens of choice and off
you go!
Zeal
Rx: Zeal frames are prescriptionable by design. Zeal Rx lenses are
actually custom cut and edged to fit into the frame (not an insert
system that is bulky and unsightly). So have your Rx made for your
favorite Zeals. We also offer multiple Swap-Out™ Rx lenses so you can
select your favorite lens colors. Look for the 
symbol and select a frame that fits your style.
Lifetime warranty. Yes we
design our glasses to last, not break. This is why we offer you a
lifetime warranty on manufacturers defect. What this means is if it is
our fault, we will replace the product. If you break your glasses, then
we offer a crash replacement program to fix your glasses.
Cycling, running, hiking... we've got you
covered. Ultra lightweight p.a.s.v. venting system for anti-fog. ACTV lenses for
maximum versatility in all light conditions.

SB13 PPX Photo-Polar: A world's first of
its kind! This unique multi layer lens has a glare cutting
polarized filter and Photo-Chromatic layering that allows the lens to
actually change from light to dark depending on the changing light
conditions. So you get two separate lens features in one lens.
The PPX lens reduces the need to change out lenses or change eyewear, so
you spend more time enjoying uninterrupted, clear vision. 30-13%
light transmission.
SB13 Special Blend: The glowing red mesas
and canyons of Moab have been our inspiration for this Zeal Optics
Special Blend "sepia" lens color. The optimum blend of contrast, clarity
and light transmission in our SB13 lens provides all day comfort for
your eyes. The designers at Zeal Optics have utilized their years
of experience in testing lens colors and treatments to find the ultimate
in performance lens color. Introducing the new Zeal Blend, an
enticing mix of all that is soothing and enhancing in color. You'll have
to see it to believe it.
ZB13 Polarized with SilkClean™:
Polarized lenses have a layered filter in the lens that cuts out
horizontal glare that is especially associated with driving, water and
snow sports. For enhanced Polarized performance Zeal Optics has
created a Polarized lens with dynamic performance coating, SilkClean™.
This versatile, smooth, slick coating, like silk, is super durable.
It's easy to clean, scratch resistant and anti-static properties repels
dirt and beads water which makes it especially useful near or on the
water. All around, SilkClean™ is the best performance coating on
polarized lenses. 13% light transmission.
ZB13 Poly with SilkFlash™
lenses feature the innovative SilkFlash™ mirror treatment. Mirror
treatments are especially beneficial for use on non-polarized lenses as
they do not have a filter to cut out glare. SilkFlash™ offers easy
cleaning properties, optical clarity and scratch resistance that is
particularly suitable for performance speed sports (where
polarized lenses are not recommended) and other outdoor activities.
SilkFlash™ is created with the most advanced technology in thin film
coatings to provide a mirror treatment that is highly scratch
resistance, smudge resistant and has excellent durability in the outdoor
elements.
Prescription lenses can either be made directly from Zeal (authentic lenses
and interchangeable prescription lenses) or by the A Sight for Sport Eyes
lab. A Sight for Sport Eyes makes a comparable product for a lower cost
and faster turn around time. Zeal can make interchangeable lenses in
prescription. Allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. For A Sight for Sport
Eyes lab lenses, see prescription
