Lens Technology

Understanding Your Sunglass Lenses

Lens material, polarization, UV protection, visible light transmission, and coatings all affect how sunglasses perform. DSRT uses different lens technologies across the lineup based on what each frame is built to do.

01

Polyamide Performance Lenses

Polyamide lenses provide a lightweight option for performance eyewear while supporting the optical clarity and comfort needed for long days outside. Lens material is one part of the overall system—the frame, tint, polarization, and coatings all influence how the finished sunglasses perform.

Used in the Phoenix performance sunglass platform.
02

Polycarbonate Lenses

Polycarbonate is known for its impact resistance, making it especially useful when eyewear needs to do more than manage bright sunlight. The Flatiron uses polycarbonate lenses as part of its safety-focused performance design.

Flatiron: UV400 polycarbonate lenses with safety-focused impact protection.
03

Polarized Sunglass Lenses

Polarization helps reduce reflected glare from surfaces such as roads, vehicles, water, and other bright horizontal surfaces. That can improve visual comfort and reduce distracting glare during driving, training, work, and long days outdoors.

Polarization varies by product and lens option. Check each product page for the exact specification.
04

UV400 & Visible Light Transmission

UV protection and lens darkness describe different things. UV400 refers to protection from ultraviolet wavelengths up to 400 nanometers. Visible Light Transmission, or VLT, describes how much visible light passes through the lens. A lower VLT generally means a darker lens for brighter conditions.

VLT and lens tint vary by frame and colorway. Exact values are listed with the applicable product specifications.

Coatings & Lens Finishes

Every DSRT sunglass lens is built with multiple surface treatments to help manage water, oils, everyday wear, and optical performance. Some coatings are shared across the entire lineup, while others are specific to the geometry and intended use of each frame.

Hydrophobic Coating

All DSRT sunglass lenses use a hydrophobic coating designed to help water bead and move off the lens surface more easily.

Oleophobic Coating

An oleophobic coating helps resist oils, fingerprints, and smudges, making the lenses easier to keep clean during everyday use.

Anti-Scratch Coating

All three DSRT frames use an anti-scratch lens coating to improve resistance to normal wear. No sunglass lens is scratch-proof, so proper cleaning and storage still matter.

Flatiron: Anti-Fog Coating

The Flatiron adds an anti-fog coating to help reduce fogging during demanding work, temperature changes, and active use.

Phoenix & Sedona: Backside Anti-Reflective Coating

The Phoenix and Sedona use an anti-reflective coating on the backside of the lens to help reduce distracting reflections that can reach the inside surface of their flatter lens designs.

Why Flatiron Is Different

Flatiron uses a deeper 8-base wrap. That curved geometry reduces the need for the backside anti-reflective treatment used on the flatter Phoenix and Sedona lenses.

Frame Design & Construction

Built Around the Way You Wear Them

A sunglass frame is more than its shape. Material, curvature, fit, hinge design, and temple geometry all affect how the eyewear feels and performs. DSRT uses different frame designs across the lineup because work, training, and everyday wear place different demands on a pair of sunglasses.

01

Performance Frame Materials

Lightweight performance frames need to balance comfort, flexibility, and durability. Rather than treating every sunglass shape the same, DSRT selects frame construction around the intended use of each model.

Flatiron

Built from TR90NZZ for a lightweight, durable safety-performance frame designed for demanding use.

Phoenix

Uses lightweight Eco-Flex TR90 construction for an athletic frame designed around movement, comfort, and everyday wear.

Sedona

Designed as a lightweight unisex frame with a cleaner, more versatile profile for everyday and outdoor use.

02

Shape, Wrap & Coverage

Frame curvature changes more than appearance. A deeper wrap can provide more coverage around the face, while flatter geometries create a more traditional sunglass profile. That is why the Flatiron, Phoenix, and Sedona are intentionally shaped differently.

8-Base Flatiron Wrap

Flatiron uses an 8-base curved wrap designed to sit closer around the face and support its safety-focused performance role.

Athletic Phoenix Shape

Phoenix uses a sport-oriented frame shape built for movement without the deeper wrap geometry of the Flatiron.

Everyday Sedona Profile

Sedona has the cleanest lifestyle-oriented shape in the lineup, making it the most natural transition between outdoor use and everyday wear.

03

Fit, Stability & Hardware

Sunglasses have to stay comfortable and predictable once you start moving. Fit, temple design, hinges, and retention features all contribute to how secure a frame feels throughout the day.

Medium–Large Fit

Flatiron and Phoenix are built around a medium-large fit. Phoenix measures approximately 140 mm across the frame.

Snap-Lock Hinge

Flatiron uses DSRT's Snap-Lock hinge as part of a frame built for repeated work, training, and outdoor use.

Retention & Helmet Use

Flatiron is designed to work with helmets and includes a retention strap for situations where extra security is useful.

The Right Frame Starts With the Right Fit

Frame width, curvature, and intended use all affect how sunglasses sit on your face. The next step is choosing the DSRT shape that best matches your head size, preferred coverage, and everyday use.

Why DSRT

Why DSRT Sunglasses?

DSRT is built around a simple idea: performance gear should work hard without looking like equipment you only wear for one activity. That means purposeful materials, clear product specifications, real-world use, and support after the sale.

01

Built in Arizona

DSRT is a Phoenix, Arizona brand built around long days in intense sun, heat, work, training, and outdoor environments. That context shapes how we think about eyewear from the beginning.

02

Materials You Can Understand

We believe customers should know what they are buying. Frame materials, lens materials, coatings, fit, protection, and other product specifications are explained instead of hidden behind generic performance language.

03

Performance Without the Costume

DSRT sunglasses are designed to perform in the environments they were built for while still looking like something you would choose to wear when the work or training is over.

04

Different Frames for Different Jobs

Flatiron, Phoenix, and Sedona are not the same sunglass with a different shape. Each frame uses a different combination of geometry, fit, materials, lenses, and features based on its intended use.

05

Built to Be Used

Work, training, travel, driving, hiking, and everyday life are hard on gear. DSRT products are designed around actual use rather than being treated like something that needs to stay protected in a case.

06

Support After the Sale

A pair of sunglasses should not become your problem the moment the order arrives. DSRT backs its products with returns, warranty support, and the Wreck & Replace program.

Buy Them. Wear Them. Put Them to Work.

Buying sunglasses online always involves some uncertainty. DSRT's return, warranty, and replacement programs are designed to reduce that risk and keep the product useful long after the first day.

Fit & Purchase Protection 30-Day Free Returns Try the frame and make sure the fit, style, and product are right for you.
Product Support Lifetime Warranty Long-term warranty support for qualifying product issues.
When Life Wins Wreck & Replace If you destroy your DSRT sunglasses, qualifying replacements are available at 75% off.

Performance Disguised as Lifestyle

The goal is straightforward: build sunglasses with the materials, protection, optics, and fit needed for hard use, without forcing you to change eyewear every time the environment changes.

Built for Real Days

One Pair Should Do More Than One Thing

DSRT sunglasses are designed around real days, not single activities. Work can turn into training. Training can turn into dinner. A weekend outside can include driving, hiking, and hours in the sun. Each frame has a primary strength, but the lineup is built around crossover use.

Sunglasses FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

From lens materials and coatings to fit, safety ratings, and returns, here are the most common questions about DSRT sunglasses.

Polarization varies by model and lens option. DSRT uses polarized lenses where specified to help reduce reflected glare from surfaces such as roads, vehicles, water, and other bright environments. Check the individual product page for the exact lens specification of the frame and colorway you are considering.

The Flatiron is DSRT's safety-focused sunglass frame and is rated ANSI Z87+. It combines safety-oriented impact protection with an 8-base wrap, polycarbonate lenses, anti-fog coating, and a design intended to transition beyond the jobsite.

ANSI Z87+ is a high-impact safety designation used for protective eyewear. The "+" indicates that the eyewear meets the applicable high-impact requirements rather than only the basic-impact level.

For safety-critical applications, always use the exact product specifications and required workplace protection rules for your task.

UV400 means the lens is designed to block ultraviolet wavelengths up to 400 nanometers, covering both UVA and UVB ranges. UV protection is different from lens darkness: a darker-looking lens does not automatically mean stronger UV protection.

VLT stands for Visible Light Transmission. It measures the percentage of visible light that passes through a lens. Lower VLT percentages generally create darker lenses for brighter conditions, while higher percentages allow more visible light through.

Exact VLT varies by DSRT model and lens colorway.

Both materials can be used in performance eyewear, but they serve different design priorities. Polyamide is used in DSRT performance lenses such as the Phoenix, where lightweight optical performance is important. Polycarbonate is highly impact resistant and is used in the Flatiron as part of its safety-focused design.

Flatiron, Phoenix, and Sedona lenses all use hydrophobic, oleophobic, and anti-scratch coatings.

The Flatiron additionally uses an anti-fog coating. Phoenix and Sedona use a backside anti-reflective coating because of their flatter lens geometry, while the Flatiron's deeper 8-base curve reduces the need for that backside treatment.

The Flatiron is the largest fit in the lineup and is designed for Large–XL head sizes. It also has the deepest wrap and provides the most face coverage.

Phoenix and Sedona are both Medium–Large fits and measure 140 mm across the frame.

Flatiron is the safety and hard-use frame, with a Large–XL fit, ANSI Z87+ protection, polycarbonate lenses, and an 8-base wrap.

Phoenix is the athletic performance frame, with a Medium–Large 140 mm fit and lightweight Eco-Flex TR90 construction.

Sedona is the most lifestyle-oriented option, with a Medium–Large 140 mm fit, 28 g weight, and a flatter everyday sunglass profile.

Yes. Phoenix is the primary athletic-performance frame in the lineup and is designed for movement, training, running, and active outdoor use. Flatiron can also work well for active use when you prefer deeper wrap coverage or need its safety-focused features.

Sedona is the most lifestyle-oriented DSRT frame and is designed for everyday wear, driving, travel, and long outdoor days. Phoenix is another strong everyday option if you prefer a sportier look.

DSRT offers 30-day free returns so you can try the sunglasses and make sure the fit, style, and frame are right for you.

DSRT sunglasses are backed by a Lifetime Warranty for qualifying product issues. Warranty coverage is separate from normal wear, accidental damage, or situations covered by the Wreck & Replace program.

Wreck & Replace is DSRT's replacement program for situations where life wins and your sunglasses are damaged beyond normal warranty coverage. Qualifying replacement sunglasses are available at 75% off.
