Living a healthy and active life means being outside. But how you experience the outdoors, depends on how clearly you can see the world around you. Our outdoor lenses are designed to let you experience your life more clearly and in natural colors — so much that you might even forget you’re wearing sunglasses.

“I'm not tired after wearing TALEX lenses. I've been using TALEX for a long time and when I put on other sunglasses it looks different. It's kind of dark. All TALEX lenses are bright but protective.”
