Customisation: LINDBERG Sirius Titanium

Customisation / LINDBERG Sirius Titanium – In the deepest, mystic Artic landscapes of northern and eastern Greenland, the elite Danish Naval unit known as The Sirius Patrol conducts reconnaissance missions in some of the harshest weather conditions known to mankind.

Maximum sun protection – Nalu: Titanium innovation in the LINDBERG Sirius Collection

Several years ago, this amazing team of explorers asked LINDBERG to help them combat one of their most pressing physical issues: how to protect their vision from the blinding glare of sunlight reflected in the snow.

Sleek, chic and streamlined: LINDBERG Sirius Titanium

LINDBERG loves a challenge. The result was a curved-front frame design that featured side-shields for maximum sun protection, and the titanium frame offered both lightness and durability, even in sub-zero temperatures.

Snap-in/snap-out interchangeable lenses

Now LINDBERG has reinvented the original design for everyday wear, with patent-pending interchangeable lenses and an inner-rim system – a customisable solution . The system is a simple snap-in/snap-out process, so that wearers can instantly adapt their frames to their specific needs. Users are able to seamlessly transition between working at a computer; reading and driving; or participating in active outdoor activities like sailing, skiing and hiking.

Luxury crafting: Tajake LINDBERG Sirius Titanium

The new LINDBERG Sirius Titanium collection promises to simplify the eyewear experience, unifying multiple products into one elegant, luxuriously crafted, and innovative design. Experience for yourself at SILMO! LINDBERG’S stunning Sirius Collection can be seen in Hall 5 Stand PO82.  More on LINDBERG: www.lindberg.com  / https://www.eyestylist.com/2016/05/forecast-sunshine-glamour/https://www.eyestylist.com/2014/08/lindberg-variations/  JG
