Sunglasses make a strong fashion
statement. But looks aside, there are many reasons to invest in a good pair of
shades, writes LAVIINIA DHANAGUNAN
FASHIONISTAS
and celebrities are usually seen tottering around in impossibly high stilletoes
and draped in clothes so tight one wonders how they manage to breathe.
And on the face, they never step out into sunshine without super huge fly
lenses held together with a slim piece of metal in gold, silver or black.
Actually, it´s not all about looking good. Such sunglasses have a purpose other
than high fashion.
Cocoons OveRx polarised sunglasses are probably the best pair of sunglasses you
could ever want. The name cocoon is interesting as one immediately thinks of
that plain cosy sac in which caterpillars morph into beautiful butterflies.
Like caterpillar cocoons, Cocoon sunglasses are quite plain on their own at
first glance. Fashionistas will probably shudder at the thick bulky frames but
keep in mind that these sunglasses are made for one reason only -- to give your
eyes total protection.
All Covered
The patented frame designs block damaging UV light and glare from all angles,
be it top, bottom and sides and shelters your eyes in a cocoon of filtered
light.
Light comes from all angles, so it makes sense to use sunglasses that totally
protect the eye from glare and UV lights. This solves a whole lot of problems
and not just for people who drive. Anyone, from mountain climber to angler, is
guaranteed of clear sight wherever they are, doing what they love best.
The best part is that the glasses can be worn over prescription glasses,
eliminating the need to buy a pair of prescription sunglasses.
Bend It
Surprisingly, these bulky-looking sunglasses are light as a feather as they are
made from ballistic nylon, a thick, tough, synthetic nylon fabric that is very
durable.
It has an added supple quality that ensures comfort for the wearer too. If you
should accidentally bend the sunglasses or find your baby playing with it,
don´t worry. It won´t break.
And because it is so pliable, you can bend it to your facial shape without
fear. You can even lend it to a friend whose face may be bigger. Just a quick
tweak when you get it back and it will fit snugly again.
Though Cocoons sunglasses come in a few colours, those available here come
mostly in black and sand frames but with a choice of lens colours like gray,
amber, copper or yellow. Its scratch resistant Polaré polarised lens system
also reduces eyestrain and fatigue. For inquiries, contact Peak vision at
