XX2i Optics, winner of Outside Magazine’s ‘Killer Value’ award, has announced the launch of the brand’s newest performance sunglasses offering: the Hawaii1. Featuring lightweight carbon temple arms and polarized lenses, which employ 8K Optical technology, XX2i Optics states that the Hawaii1 ‘ensures the utmost durability and clarity for any kind of outdoor training, racing or even just relaxing, all while weighing in at a mere 0.80 ounces.’
“We’re proud of how well the new Hawaii1 model blends aesthetics and performance, all at a price point our competitors can’t even touch for what you get,” said Paul Craig, President of XX2i Optics.
“Our goal was to distill down absolutely necessary performance features like polarized lenses, available in brown and grey, and carbon fibre frame elements, into a package accessible by anyone. This is now the top tier of our line, and I know our athletes and weekend warriors will appreciate the thoughtful time and consideration that went into the design of this frame.’
A fully adjustable nosepiece combined with rubber temple tips help make the Hawaii1 fit to individual face shapes, and ‘ensure these shades don’t budge or slide on any run or ride’. With styling for ‘either racing or chillin’, the Hawaii1 is now available in three colours, Matte Black, Matte Tortoise, or Matte White priced at US$124.99.
Since its launch, XX2i Optics has received numerous awards including Gear Institute’s ‘Best Value’ award and Outside Magazine’s ‘Killer Value’ award. Made from flexible and strong Grilamid and 4K Ultra High Definition Optics, XX2i sunglasses feature fully adjustable temple tips and nose pads to ‘give every athlete a custom, fog-free fit’.
With over 18 Polarized, Polarized Sport Reader and High Performance lens options available, every model also comes with a 365-day money back guarantee and a lifetime frame and lens warranty – even against scratches.
2016 will mark the 35th edition of Race Across America and the 9th edition of Race Across the West, which is a 900 mile race that follows the same RAAM format at a lesser distance.
