How to Compare Randolph’s Lenses
Color Contrast
Each lens provides a unique color contrast to fit your environment. Cities, forests, beaches and plains each offer their own environmental hues for your sunglasses to help highlight.
AGX is a ‘relaxing’ green that selectively highlights the soothing green/yellow wavelengths of the light spectrum to reduce eye fatigue and improve visual performance. American Tan provides contrast enhancement and depth perception superior to other lens colors for a sharp and warm crisp view, even on cloudy days. American Gray maintains ‘true’ color and contrast distribution throughout all light and terrain conditions, with a tint of darkening gray.
Visual Light Transmission
The Visual Light Transmission (VLT) of each lens is the percentage of how much light is visually allowed through the lens. The more light that is allowed in, the more light your eyes will perceive. Randolph offers three material types which change the VLT. This is different from polarization, which reduces glare.
AGX offers between 10-15%, American Tan offers between 14-17%, and American Gray offers between 10-15%. The exact VLT depends on which material you choose for the lens. See the lens technology page for more details.
Lens Material
Our top three lens colors are offered in two material types: SkyTec™ and SkyForce™. Both materials have the option for polarized or non-polarized, depending on your adventures.
SkyTec™ mineral glass lenses are designed to meet very high standards with drop ball testing and reach an optical quality comparable to a professional camera lens. The glass quality adds authentic weight. SkyForce™ lenses are made with a lightweight hypoallergenic material and are also highly durable and scratch resistant. You can find all three colors in these two material options when you pick out your Randolph sunglasses style.

Randolph’s frames are crafted with jewelry-quality precious metals and in a variety of Aviator styles to fit your face shape.
