More sun on the way
Tuesday April 11th 2006, Author: Peta Stuart-Hunt, Location: United Kingdom
As a result of the success of its original sunglasses range (which we reviewed in 2004
here), Gill has now trebled the number of styles available.
A selection of nine models includes the very latest designs and caters for all tastes in terms of the styling and the colours available. Key features in all styles are the integral flotation and the polarised lenses specifically for use on the water. The Polaroid lenses provide excellent UV Protection and polarising efficiency as well as being scratch-resistant, lightweight and shatterproof.
The frame material used is Grilamid TR90; it is light, tough and flexible and provides excellent colouration as well as being chemically resistant so sunscreen lotions won’t affect it. All models have premium grade foam inserts to ensure frame floatability and extra wrap-around styling for maximum protection and a great fit.
