One pair. No taking them on and off as the light changes.
It starts as a comfort problem. Then it becomes a focus problem.
Right when you should be watching the ball.
Why the Engineer exists
You shouldn't have to choose between the frame you want and the lens that works.
The Engineer puts our adaptive photochromic lens into a classic aviator. The lens adjusts as outdoor light changes, so there's no reason to keep taking them on and off.
Proven photochromic performance. Classic aviator shape.
How it works
The lens changes so you do not have to
Adaptive photochromic auto-calibration
-
Reacts to UV
The photochromic lens reacts to UV exposure, darkening as outdoor UV increases and lightening as it falls.
-
No switching, no swapping
It adjusts on its own. Nothing to manage, nothing extra to carry.
-
Polarization cuts reflected glare
Helps reduce harsh reflected glare from water, roads and bright outdoor surfaces.
Without
With RevettDrag to compare. Same scene, with Revett glasses and without
See it happen
The same pair. Two different light conditions.
No swapping, no second pair. The lens does this on its own as the light changes.
Fit
Adjusts to your face, not the other way around
Most sunglasses fit whoever they happen to fit. The Engineer adjusts in three places, so you can set where it sits and how firmly it holds.
Pads, hinges and arms all adjust, so the Engineer can be set up across a wide range of face shapes and head widths.
Adaptive lens. Classic aviator. Free returns if it is not for you.

Questions
Before you buy
Will the Engineer fit me?
The frame is built around medium to larger faces, and the adjustable nose pads, spring hinges and bendable arms extend that range in both directions. If the fit isn't right, returns are free for 30 days.
Most askedAre these polarized, and will they affect my depth perception?
Yes, they are polarized. And no, they should not interfere with depth perception the way many other polarized lenses do.
Standard polarization is tuned to kill glare and nothing else, which is why golfers and racquet players often complain that greens read oddly or a fast ball is harder to judge. Our polarization is tuned for people who need to judge distance while they are moving, so you get the glare reduction without the trade-off that puts a lot of players off polarized lenses entirely.
If you are unsure, the easiest way to know is to try them yourself. If they are not right for you, returns are free.
How fast do the lenses adjust?
The tint starts shifting within seconds of the light changing and settles over the next minute or two. Darkening in bright sun happens faster than clearing back out in shade.
How do the lenses behave while driving?
Photochromic lenses react to UV, and most windshields block a large share of it, so expect the lens to stay on the lighter end of its range behind glass. The polarized layer still cuts reflected glare off the road and hood.
How is the Engineer different from our other frames?
Same adaptive lens technology, different frame. The Engineer is the classic aviator shape — the pair you keep on after the round rather than swapping out of.
A classic aviator that adapts as the light changes.
One pair that keeps up with the light, in a frame that does not look out of place when the round ends. No swapping, no second pair in the bag, nothing to think about.
