THE FRAMES (Except Titan)

Milled from the highest grade T-6 7075 aircraft aluminum. T-6 indicates the hardness of the aluminum. For the customer, this translates into how easily the frames can be scratched or gouged. The higher the number, the harder the aluminum. For example, T-0 would be the softest aluminum possible. T-6 is the same grade the U.S. Government uses in military aircraft, which means fewer scratches, less gouges and nicks. The 7075 refers to the pliability or strength of the aluminum. The smaller the number, the easier it will bend.

The alloy aluminum, made from a combination of both copper and aluminum, allows you to adjust the frame for proper fit.

Machined from raw stock and formed to shape.

Riveted with nickel silver hinges that are made in the U.S.A. These rivets are precision punched and hand mounted to ensure superior quality. The screws are teflon coated to resist backing out.

Gatorz does not compromise comfort for strength. Our frames offer the lightest weight and highest quality available in the marketplace.

THE LENS

Blocks 100% of all UV radiation optimizing protection and is completely distortion free.

Fitted with a G15 polycarbonate lens, capable of withstanding the impact of 12 gauge buckshot fired from a distance of 45 feet.

Tension mounted – most lenses on the market today are mounted by screws. Gatorz holds the patent on this revolutionary new method of mounting that we have proven keeps the lens more stable within the frame than any other method.

The T-6 7075 grade of aluminum provides the optimum balance between strength and flex to hold the lens in place.

THE NOSE PAD

The nose pad is made out of silicone. Unlike rubber, the silicone nose pad will not yellow after prolonged exposure to the sun.

Each pad contains a thin metal insert that allows the pad to adjust to any nose and is mounted by titanium screws instead of glue.

THE TEMPLES

Incorporate a neoprene rubber pad. These pads are glued to the frame by a special adhesive. The pad allows the sunglasses to rest on your head comfortably without heat or irritation. In addition, the ear pad goes unnoticed while being worn.

BEING COOL AND STAYING COOL

While exercising, they actually work to help keep you cool by distributing heat away from the body. The properties of aluminum naturally cool the lens to prevent fogging making it unnecessary to apply special coatings for that purpose.
