Pro-Performance vs. Performance Series Lenses
Pro-Performance Lenses: These lenses offer a maximum of 92% light reduction; excellent for high-altitute expeditions, rock climbing, and ice climbing. Blue Tundra and Silver Frog lenses feature a flash mirror, pigment base, and back Anti-Reflective Coat. Glass McKinley lenses feature a hydrogen fired photochromic base and pigment back coat. These lenses show minimal fading or loss of protection
Performance Lenses: Darker than an average sunglass, at 88% visible light reduction, the Sierra #3 or Malachite #3 lenses offer good all around performance for everyday activities. They feature a color pigment base, back coat and a multi-layer anti-reflective back coat. Caution! Plastic versions or these lenses are prone to fading and loss of protection over time.
