Review for Ryders Cakewalk Sunglasses – 2019

Named after a technical trail in Squamish BC, this model looks as great as it needs to in order to be called the Cakewalk and get away with it. Its hidden techy components including hydrophilic nose pads and temple tips keep it in place when you want to use it for something more difficult than an actual cakewalk.PREMIUM COATINGS AND FINELY TUNED TINTS ARE JUST OUR STARTING POINT. Impact resistant and optically correct, these lenses provide 100% protection from UVA, UVB and UVC rays as well as harmful, high energy light to 400nm. As if that’s not enough, they also have premium hydrophobic and scratch-resistant coatings. This is the standard from which we build all of our more technical lenses, so every Ryders lens has the same technology at its core and the highest standard of quality.100% UV400 PROTECTION All of our lenses block 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays and harmful, high energy light to 400nm. These rays are a leading cause of cataracts, skin cancer and wrinkles around the eyes-all great reasons to block them out.HYDROPHOBIC + OLEOPHOBIC COATING An altogether misleading name, this coating isn’t nearly as scared of water as water is of the coating. In fact, water runs away at first contact, leaving clear lines of sight that are free from droplets and water marks. The Oleophobic characteristics repel dirt and grease, making the lenses very easy to clean.IMPACT RESISTANT All of our lenses are impact resistant, meaning they resist breaking up into dangerous little shards when impacted. If astronauts trust this material to keep their heads from exploding while on a 17,000 mph space walk, you’ll have nothing to worry about on your adventures, no matter how fast you’re going.OPTICALLY CORRECT All of our lenses are made by injecting molten polycarbonate into a mold that is specially formed to eliminate distortion. This process makes the lenses optically correct (also referred to as decentred), increasing long-term comfort and minimizing eye fatigue.SCRATCH-RESISTANT COATING We apply a scratch-resistant coating to all of our lenses. Though this process makes the surface of the lens considerably harder than the base lens material, it’s impossible to make the lenses completely scratch proof (short of making them from diamonds) so please care for them properly as they may still scratch under certain conditions.GRILAMID TR90 A Swiss technology, this incredible thermoplastic is the material used in all of our sunglasses (with the exception of our metal frames). Its extreme flexibility, durability and light weight make it the perfect material for performance eyewear.HYDROPHILIC NOSE PADS + TEMPLE TIPS Hydrophilic [anti-slip] nose pads are an important feature to look for in performance eyewear. Hydrophilic temple tips give that extra little bit of grip that can come in handy in many situations. The material we use to make these features is so effective that it actually grips better when it’s wet – exactly when it’s needed.
