The Phoenix
DSRT Standard Archive Release
Proven Valley Rays performance—now part of the DSRT Standard archive.
Limited remaining inventory of one of our original athlete-tested frames.
Description
Built for the Grind. Proven in the Heat.
The Phoenix was the first performance frame developed during the early days of the brand when DSRT was still operating under Valley Rays. It was created with a simple goal: build sunglasses that could survive real training environments.
Not beach days.
Not casual wear.
Actual work. Actual training.
The Phoenix has been worn through:
• CrossFit workouts
• Spartan races
• Desert trail runs
• Long training sessions under brutal Arizona sun
Athletes needed a frame that would stay secure, reduce glare, and protect their eyes without distraction when fatigue sets in.
That’s exactly what the Phoenix delivers.
The lightweight Eco-Flex frame provides durability without pressure, while the nylon performance lenses maintain clarity when conditions get harsh.
No gimmicks.
No unnecessary features.
Just performance eyewear built for people who keep moving when others quit.
Today, the Phoenix returns as a DSRT Standard archive release, representing the foundation of our performance eyewear journey.
