The "Category - CAT" number determines the light transmission rate (light transmittance) in the visible range. How well and clearly you can perceive your surroundings depends primarily on the lens you choose.
The TROOP EVO
Out of respect for the environment, if you want to try the same model in different colors, we kindly ask that you only order 1x deluxe bundle (instead of multiple bundles with the same items). Multiple deluxe bundles increase the handling effort and the package size.
Every mountain lover and nature sports enthusiast knows how quickly the weather can change. In order to be perfectly equipped for changeable conditions, we have developed our TROOP EVO model. A three-layer foam coating and the bombproof frame design ensure a perfect hold without slipping. The TROOP EVO is also helmet-compatible and comfortable to wear. There are five different glasses with which you are well prepared for any weather conditions within seconds. Thanks to the SnapTech magnetic system you can easily exchange the mirrored glasses. In addition The TROOP EVO has an extra wide field of vision. Due to the airflow air channels and the strong anti-fog coating , you always have a clear view both when climbing up the mountain and when freeriding in the backcountry. The mirrored HD lenses protect 100% against UV rays (UV400).
In order to fully enjoy the advantages of the TROOP EVO and the unique SnapTech magnetic system, various bundles are optionally available when ordering: (1) bad weather bundle TROOP EVO with one and (2) replacement lens deluxe bundle TROOP EVO with two replacement lenses. Additional replacement lenses can be ordered any time if required.
For better understanding we have created the following table for you. The categories are standardized and roughly indicate how much light comes through the lenses and during which weather conditions the lenses are suitable.
