Based in Portland, Oregon, Revant Optics has launched its first performance sunglass collection this week via Kickstarter, with an intent to ‘upend the eyewear market’. Made in the USA, Revant notes that its glasses are created with ‘the best possible materials and designed to be repaired and optimized for life so if you scratch a lens, break an arm or wear out the temples, all parts will be available forever through RevantOptics.com.’
Revant adds that ‘in a market where prices continue to rise, and quality and performance drop, Revant is changing the game [by] introducing the last pair of sunglasses you may ever need… Once you find the Revant frames that you like, you’ll be able to fix them forever, and if you lose them, get an identical pair at a discounted rate.’
“With over 500,000 customers through Revant’s replacement lens business, we know eyewear; the good, the bad and the terrible,” said Jason Bolt, founder of Revant. “Revant’s first line of eyewear solves the bad and the terrible, while improving on the good, delivering the best optics and fit for any activity or light condition. With the Revant Max Care guarantee, you know that you’re buying a pair of sunglasses for life that you can continually optimize or replace as life happens.”
- All frames use Revant’s Elite polarized lenses, offering ‘optically-correct, razor-sharp clarity, 100% UV protection, and impact protection designed to meet ANSI Z87.1 impact standards’
- Proprietary MaxGrip temple sleeves and nose pads are made from antimicrobial materials, grip securely when dry or wet, and detailed to h’elp avoid goofy hair and nose imprints after hours of wearing the frames’
- All parts are replaceable (from lenses to nose pads) forever through RevantOptics.com
- Specifically-designed temples help to avoid any optic distortion or discomfort when wearing frames with hats or helmets
- A screw-less hinge system supports longer-lasting frames and easier fixes in the field (should an arm pop off)
Revant’s Max Care Lifetime Guarantee sets customers up for life with a standing 20% off all replacement lenses, 30% off a new pair of frames if the originals are lost, a 60-day risk-free try-on for first-timers, support from Revant’s team of trained optical experts, and more.
The company adds that its frames are the direct result of ‘feedback from more than 500,000 existing Revant customers who told Revant exactly what wasn’t working with their current frames from other brands.’
