Frame technology
The OXEA collection includes over 150 different frame shapes, so there's something for everyone. Here's an explanation of the basic technical terms surrounding the different frame designs and materials.
Protect+
The "PROTECT+" logo appears on OXEA frame models, which guarantee total protection "around the eyes." Indeed, if you need optimal side protection, for sports or leisure, we strongly recommend that you choose a frame bearing the "PROTECT+" logo. Many of these PROTECT+ frames are also CE Cat 4 certified and offer maximum eye protection against the sun's rays.
Lifestyle
This wide range of sunglasses is ideal for general leisure activities and offers 100% UV protection, as well as style and elegance. However, in terms of side protection, the frames tend to extend away from the face and can allow UV rays to penetrate the eye laterally to some extent. Therefore, LIFESTYLE sunglasses are less recommended for sports or prolonged exposure to extreme sunlight.
Frame materials
OXEA frames are made from exclusive, high-end materials for sports frames.
Swiss TR90
The frames are injected with TR90 nylon produced in Switzerland. This material is ultra-lightweight and offers exceptional comfort.
Bio-Tec France
More than half of OXEA's annual production of sunglasses now bears the "BIO-TEC France" label. This eco-friendly frame material is 50% biodegradable, while retaining all the benefits of TR90 nylon. It is ultra-lightweight and guarantees perfect comfort.
Sustainable performance
OXEA sunglasses are designed to withstand the wear and tear of repeated daily use. They are virtually unbreakable, thanks to the highly resistant and flexible materials of the frame (TR90 and BIO-TEC) combined with the excellent fit and fit of the lenses.
