ION And Zeiss Optics Collaborate On Performance Water Sunglasses

Ion and Zeiss combined to create the Inter_Pol lens especially for windsports.

Looking for a better pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes and cut the glare while you’re on the water? ION has teamed up with the masterminds at Zeiss to create a line of sports eyewear specifically for wind watersports. These highest-quality lenses are made in Italy. The lenses can be changed easily to adapt to different lighting conditions. Each lens is specially designed to help the wearer easily spot wind on the surface of the water. Read all about this new line of eyewear in the press release from Ion below.

The Ion Inter_pol lenses are dirt, oil, dust and water repellent.

The ZEISS×ION collaboration has brought forth a new level of excellence in watersports eyewear.

The ION Inter_Pol lens had been developed by Zeiss, specifically for wind watersports. Spot the wind on the water surface with ease, thanks to the special lens colour that blends perfectly with the multi- layered coating.

ZEISS lenses are made in Italy by legendary experts at Carl Zeiss Vision Sunlens, the same company that pioneered high performance optics back in 1846. Every ZEISS lens is formed in an individual diamond N polished mould for flawless clarity. To guarantee the best performance and highest quality, each lens is subjected to a rigorous 24 step testing procedure.

The ION Inter_Pol lens is a development by Zeiss for wind-watersports. It enables you to spy the wind on the water surface by using a special lens color that harmonizes perfectly with the applied multi layer coating. This combination allows early wind detection and ensures more fun on the water.

Furthermore, the 8 Base Spherical decentred Lens, a wrapped lens that is excellent in strong curved frames. As it closely follows the contour of the face, it protects the eye from external interferences (wind, water, salt etc.) The lens massively reduces the distortion effect, so crystal clear vision is provided in peripheral areas.

The Icon Set Zeiss is made of the exceedingly light and durable plastic Grilamid TR 9, that maintains its structured shape no matter how extreme the temperatures. This distinctive quality makes it the perfect material and fit for all action sports.

Thanks to the Quick Change lens system you can decide whether to use the index 3 ZEISS lenses with your Icon – perfect shading for watersports in sunny conditions. Or you can use 2 different pairs of bad weather lenses (protection index 1). Quick and easy with the Quick Change lens system.
