TECH GUIDE | SCN-XT™ ARMOURED OPTIC LENSES

No component of eyewear is more important than its lenses, this is why Scicon Sports, chose NXT® material lenses (trademark of Essilor® Italia) for some top-end models of our performance eyewear collection. Often in the past, a compromise between fragile lenses with high-quality and tough, robust lenses with poor optical clarity had to be made by eyewear manufacturers. However, our desire to provide the world's athletes with a product that enables them to see the world and withstand any adventure meant we needed a lens that was impact-resistant, lightweight and provided top-quality optics.

NXT® (trademark of Essilor® Italia) as a material is unbreakable and provides excellent optical quality, originally formulated in the early 1990s for the windshields of new generation USA Apache helicopters.  SCN-XT photochromic lenses optimize safety and performance to meet the uncompromising demands of professional athletes who settle for nothing less than the clearest, sharpest, and most accurate vision. It offers truer, more accurate visibility when up against conventional lenses that magnify images and make objects appear shifted from their true position.  Photochromic lenses are optical lenses that darken on exposure to specific types of light, most commonly ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, in the absence of activating light, the lenses return to their clear state.
