1. 100% UV protection and sunglasses category:
The most important factor is 100% UV protection, which can handle a wavelength of 400 nm. The sunglasses category (S0 - S4) determines the light transmission. Often associated with a certain color, darker transmits less light. The less % of light it transmits, the sharper the sun it can withstand.

S1 – S2:
Slightly colored lenses and orange brightening lenses will make your stay outside more enjoyable when it is partly cloudy.
