Inside the system0108

Front Hydrophobic + Oleophobic Topcoat

Water and oils have a harder time sticking.

Our outermost front treatment helps water bead away and makes fingerprints, oils, and everyday smudges easier to wipe clean. It also acts as the final protective surface over the coating system below.

Explore this benefit

Multi-Layer Vapor-Deposited Mirror

Color built one ultra-thin layer at a time.

Tahoe Blue and Summit Silver get their reflective finish through vapor deposition. Multiple ultra-thin layers are deposited in a controlled vacuum to create the mirror color while keeping the coating thin and uniform.

Front Scratch-Resistant Hard Coat

Built for everyday wear.

Before the optical coatings are added, the lens receives a hardened coating designed to help protect the surface against everyday scratching and abrasion.

Explore this benefit

Perfect Polarized™ Film

Glare reduction without shutting out your digital world.

Perfect Polarized™ is molded directly into the lens structure. It reduces harsh reflected glare while preserving more visibility of digital displays than conventional fully polarized lenses.

Explore this benefit

TROGAMID® myCX Optical Nylon Core

Clarity starts at the core.

Torque lenses begin with Evonik TROGAMID® myCX, an optical-grade nylon developed specifically for eyewear lenses. Its high Abbe value, low weight, and strong mechanical properties make it an ideal foundation for clear, comfortable performance optics.

Explore this benefit

Rear Scratch-Resistant Hard Coat

Protection on both sides.

The rear surface receives the same hardened coating treatment to help protect the inside of the lens from everyday wear and scratching.

Explore this benefit

Multi-Layer Vapor-Deposited AR

Leave backside reflections behind.

Light coming from behind you can reflect off the inside of a lens and back toward your eyes. Our backside anti-reflective coating uses multiple vapor-deposited layers to help reduce those distracting reflections.

Explore this benefit

Rear Hydrophobic + Oleophobic Topcoat

A cleaner inside surface, too.

The final rear treatment helps repel water, skin oils, and fingerprints, making the inside surface easier to keep clean while protecting the coating stack underneath.

Comfort on the inside

On the back of the lens, anti-reflective layers help reduce reflections from light coming from behind you.
