Swiss Army Sunglasses

The Swiss Army Philosophy

To be prepared is the emblematic theme of the Swiss Army label. Swiss Army exists to fortify your resources should you ever find yourself backpacking through Malaysia, wrestling jungle serpents, or stumbling into a unwelcoming pool of quicksand. The brand is famous for its Swiss Army knife, which offers everything from eating utensils and nail files to the laser pointers and portable music devices that have been featured in the most recent models. Of course, the Swiss Army knife also provides a switchblade which can be used for whatever purpose you so desire.

However, Swiss Army sunglasses do not offer the twenty-plus accompanying features that you will experience when purchasing the knives. When you're backpacking through Malaysia or losing the fight to a large jungle beast, Swiss Army sunglasses will do nothing more than shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. But what these sunglasses do, they do well. Even if you meet jungle adversity, you can trust that Swiss Army sunglasses will protect your corneas, as long as they remain over your optical sockets.

Swiss Army Sunglasses Features

Your main concern when purchasing any brand or type of sunglasses should involve the amount of UV protection you will receive. When your eyes are unprotected, sun reflecting off of sand, water, or snow can cause an acute inflammation of the eye called keratoconjunctivitis. Even worse is the permanent retina scarring and cataracts that result from ultraviolet damage. The Swiss Army label takes into consideration the fact that sunglasses need to be as functional as they are fashionable, which is why most, if not all, of this brand's sunglasses feature 100 percent protection from UV damage.

The formidable reliability of Swiss Army shades comes from the usage of high-strength polycarbonate lenses that fit inside lightweight frames. More importantly, the frames are designed to fit a variety of head shapes. Of course, some people may still need to have their sunglasses custom fitted to their face, but for the most part, Swiss Army brand sunglasses will suit the average customer.

Popular Styles

When it comes to sunglasses, the manufacturing company behind the Swiss Army label is called Victorinox. Victorinox is dedicated to the crafting of superior durable Swiss Army lenses that are, true to the name, produced in snowy Switzerland.

The Abyss Model

One of the more popular styles of Swiss Army shades is labeled the Swiss Army Abyss. These sleek and elongated frames wrap around the head and mimic the styles you'd see on snowboarders, skaters and surfers. They boast key features such as superior polycarbonate lenses that protect from scratching and shattering, cat-eye wrap frames for "maximum protection" as well as a totally hip look, Griptex frame material to prevent slipping, and, of course, the Swiss Army Brand Cross & Shield logo that is found on the temples of the frames. This is a trendy and [[Sport Sunglasses|sport]-conscious style.

The Swiss Army Tornado

Maybe you aren't the snowboarding daredevil type and, instead, you'd like to look like you just spent your summer vacation camped out in North Vietnam. In this event, the original Swiss Army Tornado sunglasses have the army appeal that you crave. You're sure to be taken seriously with these shatter resistant polycarbonate lenses that are apparently ten times stronger than glass. Moreover, a polysiloxane scratch-resistant coating makes you wonder if the only forces capable of destroying these sunglasses are the fires of Mordor. Regardless, these wire frames and spring hinges are as sophisticated as they are totally M.A.S.H., and they come in two colors: gun metal and antique gold.

Where to Purchase

Swiss Army sunglasses can be purchased from many specialty sunglasses boutiques, but they are also available online from many vendors such as Rei.com. Do approach online purchases with caution in order to prevent the purchase of fake and counterfeit products.
