Understanding VLT and Polarization
VLT (Visible Light Transmission) indicates how much light passes through a lens — lower values mean darker lenses. Choosing the right VLT ensures optimal visibility and comfort for your activity and light conditions.
9–12% VLT
Bright sun – Golf, Cycling, Skiing
13–17% VLT
Mixed conditions – Running, MTB, Hiking
18–30% VLT
Cloudy – Everyday outdoor use
45–90% VLT
Low light / Night – Protection with clarity
Polarized lenses (11–15% VLT) reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, asphalt or snow, making them ideal for cycling, watersports and long sunny sessions.
