Kaenon Sunglasses
Kaenon's Calias (top) and the Spindle

Wearing a pair of Kaenon sunglasses is the optical equivalent of flying first class for the first time. Even if you're cast back to economy on the second leg of your flight, you'll never forget that luxe experience. Kaenon shades boast more than mere polarization (the lens treatment that drastically reduces glare lets you see into the water rather than just the water's surface); the company's SR-91 technology is a hybrid lens that combines the optical quality of glass and the lightweight, impact-resistant features of polycarbonate, delivering razor-sharp clarity, scratch and impact resistance, and dramatic glare reduction. Put 'em on for the first time and it's almost as if you've acquired x-ray vision. And to top it off, they look undeniably sharp. Of their extensive line, we're drawn to the Spindle series (with the antique copper lens tint) and the femme-specific, Jackie-O-goes-sporty Calais. From French Polynesia to the Outer Banks, everything stays in focus.
