One of the fastest-growing brands of sunglasses across many sports has made recent in-roads into the golf accessory category with some spirited new models and eye-catching fashion statements.
Tifosi Optics, which now offers dozens of sport sunglasses in 38 countries and more than 3,000 U.S. locations in less than a decade in business, has loaded its current lineup of eyewear with not only protection, but a sense of fashion as well.
“We set out to engineer top quality sports sunglasses that are loaded with technical features, aggressively priced and backed with a no-hassle lifetime warranty,” says co-founder Elizabeth Earley. “But the real success is due to our growing network of Tifosi retailers who believe in the brand enough to recommend it to their customers.”
One of its latest models—Mast—features three Interchangeable lenses made of decentered shatterproof polycarbonate to virtually eliminate distortion, give sharp peripheral vision, and offer 100% protection from harmful UVA/UVB rays, bugs, rocks, or whatever comes your way. Lens installation/removal is fast and easy and allows for three different shade lenses in one sunglass. These Polarized lenses block light reflecting off the water (or any horizontal surface) to reduce glare and eye fatigue.
The Golf/Tennis™ (GT) lens is color neutral, great for full sun, and high-contrast so you can quickly spot your ball in flight. The Extreme Contrast™ (EC) lens filters blue light and was designed specifically as a green-reader. Its unique properties help you pick up subtle breaks on the green as you plan your next putt. AC Red™ is a great contrast lens for overcast conditions.
The frame is made of Grilamid TR-90, a homopolyamide nylon characterized by an extremely high alternative bending strength, low density, and high resistance to chemical and UV damage. The Hydrophilic rubber ear and nose pieces are designed to increase grip when in contact with sweat for a no-slip fit, while the adjustable temples allow for a customizable fit and increased wearing comfort.
