Description

Tropo, refines the iconic ‘Aviator’ look of the past sixty years to create a modern classic.

Our Zeolite High Contrast Narrow Band lenses use advanced Light Management Technology. This makes colours come alive, boosting image sharpness and clarity.

The frame colour is brunello, a dark auburn brown and the lenses are non-mirrored.

These frames are made from titanium.
We chose titanium because it’s a strong, lightweight and corrosion-resistant metal.
Beta titanium is used for the arms and it’s springy properties apply just enough pressure to keep the frames securely in place.

The nose pads are fully adjustable for a customised personal fit, and the ear tips grip without pulling hair.

Lens Description:

Advanced Zeolite S14 High Contrast Narrow Band (HCNB) grey lenses which have been developed using advance Light Management Technology to make colours come alive. HCNB technology allows your eyes to receive more specific colour information which increases the sharpness and clarity of an image whilst reducing eye fatigue.

Pilots will testify that Bigatmo sunglasses with Zeolite (grey) S14 HCNB lenses:

• Allow you to read instrumentation in high-contrast environments
• Help your eyes remain relaxed and reduce eye fatigue
• Deliver true colour perception and landmark clarity
• Remain comfortable for many hours whilst wearing a headset/headgear

How do the Bigatmo Zeolite (grey) S14 High Contrast Narrow Band lenses work? Bigatmo Zeolite (grey) HCNB lenses are superb for high contrast environments, such as flying and driving. Our eyes detect colour using ‘cones’ on the retina. HCNB technology filters out the wavelengths between the three primary colours and so optimise the wavelengths that enter the eye. Our eyes are most sensitive to wavelengths in the green spectrum, and wavelengths in the blue range cause visual clutter, loss of contrast and eye fatigue. HCNB technology manages the light as it passes through the lens allowing your eyes to remain relaxed.

Bigatmo Zeolite (grey) S14 High Contrast Narrow Band lens technology:
• HCNB Light Management technology makes colours come alive
• Reduces visual clutter by filtering out the wavelengths between primary colours
• Optimises the wavelengths that enter the eye reducing eye fatigue
• Increases sharpness and clarity of an image
• Perform superbly well in flight deck conditions
• Lens material composed of NXT, a lightweight and virtually unbreakable optical polymer
• Industry leading anti-reflective, anti-scratch and omniphobic ‘easy-to-clean’ coatings
• 100% harmful UV light blocked

Frame Description:

• Strong, pure titanium fronts with beta titanium arms for comfort
• Remain comfortable under a headset even after many hours
• Benefit from super slim adjustable temples that stay securely & comfortably in place
• Ultra-lightweight at just 20g – including lenses
• Adjustable soft silicone nose pads
• Corrosion resistant and hypo-allergenic
• Individually hand polished to give every frame a unique, beautiful natural finish

What about courier delivery services?

We recognise that some of our customers might not want to rely on their local postal services and so, for most international destinations, there is a courier option. Our preferred providers are DHL and Fedex (for the USA), although we sometimes use others.

As a general rule, only consider this option if you don’t have faith in your local delivery service, as you will need to pay for courier services. You will have an opportunity to check the price with a real time, online quote during the checkout process.

We’ll keep you up to date with the progress of your order and provide you with tracking information as soon as it’s available.

Be advised that courier services are not available to individuals in Russia. So, unless you can ship to a registered business, always use the Royal Mail option.

In some parts of the world, it is common for people to use specialist courier companies that group a number of items into a single shipment. If you wish to use this kind of service and it has UK representation, please get in touch. ([email protected] or +441622844030) The courier service will need to be highly rated and also prepared to sign for the Special Delivery package. Our obligations will be complete when the package has been successfully delivered to the specialist courier company.

Duty and Taxes

When we ship to destinations outside the scope of mandatory taxation agreements, all pricing is tax free and you will be responsible for paying any VAT/Duty/disbursements that might be incurred during the process of importation.

EU Shipping

Shipping to the EU

Yes, we ship pretty much everywhere! Since the beginning of 2021 there have been a number of changes to the way we send packages to the EU. Here is a brief summary to let you know how we are now sending packages to you, in the EU, and how this might affect your shopping experience. Below that, we’ve added some extra information which we hope will fill in the background and give you an insight of what we’d like to do in order to improve EU shipping in the future.

In the past it didn’t matter whether you resided in the UK or any of the other EU states, we just charged VAT during checkout, shipped the package and sent you a tracking number. We offered free shipping, or you could choose a courier service if you preferred and we charged you at a preferential rate.

Now, we will not charge VAT during checkout and so your order will be shipped tax free. We still offer free shipping on all orders over £100.00, using the best service available via Royal Mail, in combination will your national mail service. We will always use a tracked mail service except in the rare cases where it isn’t available. We will ship the package with all the necessary customs documentation.

The UK is the country of origin for Bigatmo sunglasses and so there is no duty payable when they
are imported into an EU state. VAT, however, is payable on import and your mail service will contact you to collect it. The process of collecting the VAT may well attract an additional charge called disbursement. It appears that
this fee is about EUR 10.00 but can vary. Your package is then released and delivered to you. Hooray.

Is it possible to ship to the EU using courier services? Yes, it is! Feedback from our logistics company has shown that the courier companies have had numerous problems and so we have decided to remove the auto quote system on our ecommerce platform, for EU sales. In addition, the courier companies are applying a number of surcharges (fuel, Covid and especially Brexit) that we find rather irksome. So, although we subsidise the price of using a courier, we feel that the extra cost does not necessarily result in a speedier or more hassle-free experience. If you need to ship to an area where you feel that a courier offers real benefits, please send us a message so that we can quote and ship to you without delay.

By phone: +44 (0)1622 844030

Some more information:
Our ambition is to offer you a similar service to the one that we used to experience prior to 2021. In order to achieve this, we need to ship DDP which means Delivered Duty Paid. Under this scheme we would, once again, charge VAT at checkout. The tracked package is then sent to you and should arrive without delay, hoorah, and we arrange payment of the VAT.
Currently, it’s not clear how to operate this system in a cost effective and efficient way. Also, in July 2021 EU rules around ecommerce and VAT collection are changing and this might simplify the process. At the moment, there are varying interpretations of the rules and we’re waiting for some uniformity before completing our arrangements.

Items shipped to the EU arrive via Ports of Entry and obviously they all need to apply the rules correctly and uniformly. Unfortunately, there is plenty of evidence to show that this hasn’t always been the case, although we would expect these teething problems to reduce fairly quickly.
