They feature interchangeable lenses, including polarized and low light options, that will make Nimbus invaluable whatever the conditions.
The Frames
Nimbus benefit from a lightweight TR90 frame with sprung side arms, rubber nose pads and rubber side arm extensions for comfort fit. The frame has a slight built-in flex that allows for fitting on most sizes and shapes of head. Finished in a hand sprayed matt black finish.
The Lenses
Nimbus are supplied with the following lenses:
- Cat 0 light-enhancing, for dull light
- Cat 2 beige polarized, for fairly bright or changeable conditions
- Cat 3 polarized grey mirror for sunshine

All lenses have an anti-scratch coating and precision decentred optics. Our lenses filter out blue light to improve contrast and definition in your field of view, thereby helping to determine the distance to, and orientation of, a model.
