The Design Philosophy

The initial drawings that we developed for Cruiz had the wearer moving from fishing to driving to going out with the family and off to work. We wanted to create a truly versatile frame that was fashionable enough to wear out, yet comfortable enough to wear all day. We didn’t want you to have to sacrifice form for function. So the square lens shape was implemented first, giving you maximum coverage between your eyebrow and cheek. True visual performance where you need it most. Then we softened any harsh edges and introduced a custom wrap on the arm so the eyewear stays snug but not tight. Cruiz will take you exactly where you want to go in style and comfort.

> Perfect for high glare situations or if you’re sensitive to bright light

A true revolutionary high definition lens, Spotters’ Halide is the world’s darkest polarised Photochromic copper crown glass lens.

A combination of the world’s best technology and highest quality elements, Halide offers unsurpassed glare reduction while providing superior depth perception and precision optics. It is suitable for everyday use, particularly in high glare situations.

Halide is the culmination of almost 2 years of intense design and development and is specifically engineered for extreme conditions; it can withstand Australia’s brightest, sunniest, high glare conditions and still offer perfect optical clarity, insane depth perception, and high scratch resistance.

The Halide lens has been specifically developed for people who are sensitive to extreme glare. The unique high contrast copper tint of the Halide lens offers better clarity and depth perception to the human eye than any other colour, and delivers it without distortion. Halide makes objects sharper, gives clearer vision over distances, shows greater depth perception in water and eliminates eye fatigue and headaches. The Halide lens is also dark enough to hide your eyes.

XTREME

> Super high contrast photochromic yellow
> Specific purpose lens for low light conditions or when you need ultimate colour perception
> Photochromic Crown Glass adjusts to your total environment

Spotters Xtreme lens. Low light specialist lens.

Yellow lenses have been around for years, and professionals swear by them for the added contrast and light enhancement they deliver.

The Xtreme lens isn’t just a yellow sunglass lens. First up, it’s polarised, so it’s going to cut down glare off the water. You’d be amazed at how much glare there is on the water even when the sun is barely above the horizon. Secondly, these are Crown Glass lenses – perfect optical clarity, lightweight and with superior scratch resistance. But wait – there’s more. These lenses are Photochromic. That’s right – this amazingly high contrast lens will actually adjust to your light conditions, reducing the intensity of the light reaching your eyes once the sun comes up.

In terms of performance, these lenses deliver. It’s like turning on an underwater floodlight. You’ll see structure like you’ve never seen it before, showing you exactly where to focus and cast. You’ll be able to identify fish, weed and rocks along the bottom, with different colours standing out like they’re in 3D. This increase in your visual ability means your casts are more precise; you’ll catch more with fewer casts and less snags.

The Xtreme lens is a specialty lens, designed purely for low light conditions. If you get the chance to try a pair, let your eyes adjust for a few minutes first. You’ll be blown away by the detail, colours and depth you’ll experience. This lens is ideal for Fly-fishing.

The Xtreme is available in the Artic+, Cristo, Thunder+ and Fury frames. Custom builds are available in other frames.
