Kynance Heather - Brown Lens NEW 2024 COLLECTION!, Mineral Glass+ Lenses

K Y N A N C E - H E A T H E R

Brown Mineral Glass+ Lens

Introducing our Kynance Heather sunglasses. This panto style frame incorporates a delicate pastel purple, inspired by the heather that can be found along the Cornish coastline. Crafted to enhance small to medium sized faces.

Our Kynance Heather frame is made from 100% recycled fishing gear and is paired with non-polarised mineral glass+ lenses, offering complete sustainability and full UVA/UVB 400 protection.

Kynance's slightly rounded panto frame provides a modern twist on the classic pantoscopic shape, which is particularly flattering for individuals with rectangular or square face shapes, as they provide a balanced contrast that enhances facial features. The soft pastel purple hue adds a subtle yet distinctive touch which gives a fresh and contemporary edge to your look.

Cases are included free with each pair of ordered frames.

OUR MINERAL GLASS+ LENSES

Optical Quality

ABBE VALUE: 59 vs. 32 for conventional plastic lenses

Mineral glass has by far the greatest optical clarity of all lens materials. There’s a reason why photographers use glass lenses: plastic mediums disperse and distort light. The optical clarity of glass lenses is measured with an Abbe value, with lower numbers representing greater dispersion and unwanted chromatic aberration.

Sustainability

RECYCLABILITY: INFINITE vs. plastic lenses not currently recycled

Glass is infinitely recyclable and is widely recycled. In comparison to plastic, optical lenses are made from virgin plastics, aren’t domestically recyclable and also produce microplastics when cut to shape.

Technology

REFLECTION FACTOR: 1.47% vs. 8.6% for un-coated plastic lenses

All of our lenses are equipped with an industry-leading anti-reflection coating on the inner surface of the lens, which eliminates distracting light reflections from light entering from behind the lens.

Scratch Resistance

MOHS HARDNESS VALUE: 6.8 vs. 2.9 for conventional plastic lenses

Chemically-hardened glass is more scratch resistant than any other form of lens by a huge margin. Waterhaul Mineral Glass+ lenses are designed to withstand the elements of sand and salt which come with adventure and deliver lasting performance.
