The world's first eyewear with a Magnetic
InterchangeLensSystem™ -for unparalleled
convenience, speed and ease of use: an idea born of necessity.
The inventors of Switch demanded better sunwear options.
Traditional fixed lens sunglasses work well in some light conditions, but
not others. Mechanical interchange lens systems are clumsy and can be
difficult to use. Contact lens wearers need plano sunglasses some days
and Rx suns on others. Between carrying around multiple, bulky
sunglasses and pulling and prying mechanical interchange lenses in and out,
they felt there had to be a better way. Then it came to them:
"magnets".
Switch uses high-energy magnets imbedded in the lens and
frame to enable users to swap lenses quickly and easily as light conditions
and activities change. Switch lenses will literally jump into place
when brought close to the frame, but stay put once the lenses have snapped
into position. Switch lenses will literally jump into place when
brought close to the frame, but will stay put once the lenses have snapped
into position. Switch magnetic interchange lenses have been engineered
to stay in the frame when dropped from a height of 6 fee or subjected to the
intense, repeated jarring of skiing, snowboarding, running or mountain
biking.
Lenses come with the world's first magnetic LensPod™
to carry and protect lenses. The contoured pod easily fits into your
pocket and pops open to allow you to dock your lenses...smart!
Switch Frame Technology:
Frame Construction: Made with
tough superior grade thremoplastic nylon to withstand the demands of your
sports lifestyle.
Fog Management: Switch frames, lens shapes and nose pads have been
designed to enable air to flow into the eye chamber to minimize fog
build-up.
Magnetic Attraction: Switch frames and
lenses use large, embedded high-energy magnets to maximize magnetic adhesion
of the lenses in frame. Lenses stay securely in the frame, even if the
sunglasses are dropped or subjected to the intense jarring that occurs when
skiing, snowboarding, running or mountain biking.
Fit Security and Stabilization: Contact
surfaces in the temples and bridge utilize a specially formulated TPR rubber
to increase grip rather than slip when it becomes moist from sweat, snow or
rain.
3-Point Comfort Fit: Switch frames are
balanced to distribute weight equally on the bridge and behind the ear.
Our temples have been developed to distribute pressure along a wide surface
area to avoid pinching.
