Women's Firenza

Protective enough for outdoor sports - smart enough to wear everyday.

Offering fantastic eye protection for outdoor sports, our Firenza sunglasses are designed in a contemporary semi-wraparound style. They’re perfect for all-day use in the mountains but won’t hamper your attempts to present la bella figura on the days you’re in town.

They’re made from handmade cellulose acetate of the very highest quality - it has a lovely, substantial, durable feel. It’s not a cheap material, by any means, but for the Firenza, it was a natural choice.

The frame features substantial metal flex hinges on the arms. These may be tightened with a screw and provide a flexible fit and a certain amount of ‘give’ to reduce any feeling of tightness or pressure during periods of extended wear.

The lenses, built from an extremely durable polyamide, offer total, 100% protection from UV light, reducing short-term eye strain and long-term damage to the eyes. Needless to say, they meet all EU and US standards.

They have a graduated tint which darkens progressively towards the top. Designed for pilots who need to look up and out into bright light whilst monitoring darker dials below, this feature is also extremely useful for drivers - particularly of open topped sports cars!

In terms of light transmittance, the lenses are classed as Category 3. Essentially, they’re a dark lens suitable for all day use in bright sun - but still suitable (and legal) for driving.

The visual definition through the lens is of the highest quality - described as Optical Class 1. Basically, they offer improved vision on hazy days. They’re also distortion free. It’s worth remembering that distortion through poorer quality lenses is not immediately noticeable but, over time, will cause eye strain, tiredness and even headaches.

The lenses have been designed to offer ballistics impact protection - very reassuring to have if you’re driving along a dusty highway with the roof down.

All the lenses in the Rohan Optics range are oleophobic. Our oil resistant coating cannot eliminate smudging from suncreams or handling - but it does make the lens much easier to clean.

They are also hydrophobic. This is obviously of most benefit to water sports enthusiasts - but it’s also handy for cyclists.

Also standard on the Rohan Optics range is an anti-reflective coating - visible as a rainbow-tinted hue on the back of the lenses. This reduces scattered light, further improves visual clarity and helps the eyes to adjust more quickly from bright light to low light conditions.

The Firenza sunglasses come complete with a good quality hard case, closed with YKK zips, which offers protection and impact resistance. Inside the case, you’ll find a micro-fibre cleaning cloth to keep your lenses in tip-top condition.
