Alutra Photochromic Lens (copper/ brown)

High Performance, Photochromic lens, for Sports and Driving Lens.

The Alutra (copper/brown) photochromic lens

This lens gives you a crisp and punchy high definition view by enhancing true colour, contrast, and depth perception. It’s a technically advanced, sophisticated photochromic sun, sports and driving lens. Tested and trusted by pilots, in challenging high contrast environments where, precision and performance matter.

  • Superior visual acuity
  • colour clarity
  • lightweight comfort
  • superb impact protection and
  • protection from damaging sunlight.

Why controlling the piercing glare from bright sun-light, is only part of the story.

To properly protect your eyes from the damaging elements of the sun, you need to wear UV protective lenses, not just in strong glare, but in all sorts of varied weather conditions. Cloud cover may not protect your eyes as much as you think from the harmful damage the suns rays can cause.

Protect Your Eyes Effectively with Photochromic Lenses

Be it dull or dazzling light, Alutra photochromic lenses adjusts to have the perfect tint level for any given situation. This means you’re more likely to keep your glasses on and remain protected. Also, the Alutra lens enables a clear view of instrument panels in high contrast situations such as the dashboard of a car, just part of the reason it’s such a high performance, driving lens. Unlike other lenses that transition through tint levels from clear to tinted lens, depending on the amount of UV penetrating the lens, Bigatmo lenses don’t go clear; instead they transition through degrees of tint appropriate to your situation.

The photochromic element keeps everything in a state of equanimity; images sharper, colours more saturated and eyes relaxed, so the wearers vision is optimized.

As our test pilots or drivers would testify, Bigatmo’s Alutra Copper P20 Photochromic lenses used in our sunglasses have been optimized for high contrast environments.

LMT - (Light Management Technology)

The objective of Light Management Technology

The technology in this lens helps to filter out wavelengths that clutter our vision and this results in bolder colours together with improved contrast and definition.

Unlike conventional sunglasses which simply darken your immediate surroundings, the optimized tint of Alutra Photochromic allows enough light to pass through so that you can easily read your instruments – even inside a dark cockpit or on a shady car dashboard, or you can simply appreciate the view in changeable weather.

However, as soon as you step outside into bright sunlight, Bigatmo Alutra, Photochromic lenses, instantly react to the increase in UV light. Whereas the tint of the lens remains lighter in the shade or when behind a windscreen, it becomes much darker when exposed to direct sunlight.

Following thousands of hours of real time testing and development, Bigatmo Alutra Photochromic lenses have evolved into something quite unique: a high speed lens that reacts so rapidly to changing light conditions that they’re among the fastest on the market. This allows your eyes to feel continuously relaxed, and as the photochromic material is integrated into the core of the NXT® lens, it can’t wear off.
