Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Kaenon SR-91® lenses different from ordinary polarized lenses?

  Kaenon’s SR-91® lenses are neither glass nor polycarbonate, combining glass-like optical acuity with featherweight, impact-resistant construction; they’re fully polarized to cut glare and block UV while shedding water, oil, and dirt for clearer vision on the water and in bright conditions. SR-91® is engineered to reduce eye strain and preserve color fidelity, which benefits fishing, paddling, golf, and everyday outdoor use.
• How do TR-90 frames and VeriFlx™ nose/temple pads affect fit and performance during activity?

  TR-90 frames are ultra-light and flexible, so they conform to movement without stressing hinge points, while VeriFlx™ rubber nose and temple pads provide a secure, no-slip grip even when hot or sweaty. That combination keeps lenses positioned for consistent peripheral coverage and reduces shifting during casting, paddling, or quick head movements.
• Which Kaenon models are best for small-to-medium faces versus higher-coverage sport fits?

  Models like the Burnet and Morro are designed for small-to-medium faces and offer a closer, lower-profile fit—Morro is noted as a 4-base unisex curve—whereas frames such as the Del Rey and Anacapa provide a bit more coverage and sport-oriented shaping suited to fishing and paddling. Prioritize how the frame sits on your cheekbones and temple width rather than numeric dimensions to find the best match.
• How do Kaenon lens tints like Ultra Grey 12, G12, B12, C12, and Ultra Brown 12 change outdoor performance?

  Lens tints control light transmission and color balance: Ultra Grey/G12 reduce overall brightness and preserve natural colors, making them reliable for bright sun and open-water glare; Ultra Brown enhances contrast and depth perception in mixed or low-angle light; B12 and C12 variants offer nuanced color balances tailored to different light and surface conditions. Choosing a tint depends on your typical environments—bright sun and water for grey, variable light or shoreline detail for brown/contrast-enhancing tints.
• How does the Del Rey compare to the Burnet for fishing and everyday wear?

  Both the Del Rey and Burnet use SR-91® polarized lenses and TR-90 frames with VeriFlx™ grip, but the Del Rey provides slightly fuller coverage and a sportier silhouette that’s ideal for prolonged exposure on the water, while the Burnet is more compact and sits closer to the face, making it better for smaller head sizes and casual daily wear. If you need maximum peripheral protection for casting or paddling, lean toward the Del Rey; if low-profile fit and lighter contact are priorities, the Burnet is a strong choice.
