Over 99% UV protection
All TALEX lenses are rated UV400, which means that they block more than 99% of harmful UVA and UVB radiation. The most penetrating UV radiation (UVA) has a wavelength of 400 nm. Many lenses with UV protection block up to 380 nm, which may seem like a lot but is not enough. UV400 lenses blocks more than 99% protection from UV rays.
Lenses
Proprietary technology
Polarized lenses are built with a filter that blocks horizontal light so you don’t see the harsh reflections of your environment like on road surfaces or water. TALEX uses proprietary filters made from iodine compounds that block out more harmful and intrusive light than traditional polarized lenses. They are among the highest-performing polarized lenses on earth.
Lenses
Purpose built
TALEX lenses combine three visual properties: Natural Color, Contrast, and Brightness. Natural color allows you to see the world as it really is, without discoloration or darkening. Contrast enhances sharpness to improve three-dimensional vision. And Brightness makes the world appear brighter and more vivid.
Purifiers remove harmful toxins. Air purifiers remove dust and pollen from the air so you can breathe better. Water purifiers remove chlorine and pollutants so that the water you drink is cleaner.
The TALEX Light Purifying Filter removes UV rays, glare, and other harmful light so you can see better. Our Light Purifying Filter also helps keep your eyes strong and healthy by removing the typical fatique and tiredness that can come from wearing sunglasses for an extended period of time.

Frames
Ultralight and durable
TALEX Performance frames are ultralight, extremely comfortable, and specifically designed for TALEX polarized lenses. Made of flexible nylon, our double-shot injection-molded frames ensure that the lenses won’t distort over time.
Frames
Made from premium nylon
Unlike many plastic and acetate frames, nylon frames are extremely light and durable, show no signs of aging, and do not deform over time. Our nylon frames will not experience the typical surface degradation (whitening) that occurs on acetate frames due to material aging, sweat, and plasticizers.
