Performance Rayth Sunglasses: FDE Fader Z87+

We gave our Performance frames a rubberized coating, an Ultra Black Lens, and an FDE fade that feels right at home next to your well-worn, rattle-canned bedside queen. We’d say they match perfectly, but that wouldn’t be very FDE of us.

The Rayth is a welcome addition to the performance line. They feature an ultra-bold shape with sharp lines and a premium fit. The Rayth is a standard-width frame, made compact top to bottom and uses a flat profile lens which results in a sledgehammer tough look. The details on the Rayth are second to none and it is sure to become your new go-to power adder when it comes to eyewear.

Other Rayth features include a modified arm with rubber inserts to prevent wear and hair snags. Furthermore, the Rayth features increased surface area in the rubber nose for more grip on the face.

Standard Performance line features include 2mm thick lenses that meet ANSI Z.87 mass impact requirements plus a specific arm, with beveled emblems with Rubberized Hytrel® inserts in the arms and nose.

The Quick-Latch side-shield system provides lateral protection from debris and unwanted side light meeting ANSI Z87+ standards with side shields installed.

MODIFIED RUBBER INSERT DESIGN

The Rayth features a modified arm design(exclusive to the Rayth) with a redesigned rubber contact patch that does not wrap around the arm tip. This removes soft rubber from wear areas to both increase arm durability and prevent hair snags. In addition these inserts are raised out of the arm 0.5mm to increase grip.

Heat Wave rubber touch points are made from extremely resilient, sustainable, and safe for the skin Hytrel®(TPC-ET thermoplastic elastomer).

180° RUBBER NOSE

The Rayth encompasses the nose with a full 180-degree wrap-around Hytrel® pad with large contact pads for increased surface area, giving the Rayth maximum grip on the face. Nose pieces are permanently glued in place for added durability.

Heat Wave rubber touch points are made from extremely resilient, sustainable, and safe for the skin Hytrel®(TPC-ET thermoplastic elastomer).

Quick-Latch Side Shields

Patented Quick-Latch side-shield system provides lateral protection from debris and unwanted side light meeting ANSI Z87+ standards.

Side-shields come pre-installed, but are easily removed with the click of a switch making swaps effortless.

Premium emblems

Embeded & refined ICON emblems are beveled for premium fit and finish.

Hytrel® ARM INSERTS

Redesigned rubber contact patch that does not wrap around the arm tip removes soft rubber from wear areas to both increase arm durability and prevent hair snags. Rubberized Hytrel® provide a comfortable, non-slip fit that you can wear seamlessly all day long.

Hytrel® NOSE PADS

Functions great, looks meh

"Bought them for when I don’t wear a full face helmet on the bike. The wind beats my eyes up there’s my shades but these fixed that issue. They’re just a bit big looking on my face when I’m not wearing a helmet so I don’t like to wear them once I get off the bike."

— Michael S. (4/5)

Great pair of shades definitely

"Great pair of shades definitely will recommend"

Fit tight

"Tight fit I was used to XL these look cool bit small and bit snug I wouldn’t recommend if you prefer comfortable over fashion."
