Global Vision Daytona 1 Polarized Brown Lens - Motorcycle Glasses UV400 Repelon

The Global Vision Daytona 1 is a polarized motorcycle sunglass, recognizable by its matte black soft-touch semi-rimless frame and blue rubber temples and nose pads. This version features polarized brown lenses, the warmest tint in the range: it enhances tones and increases contrast, helping to read the road surface when lighting changes constantly. In addition to UV400 filter and scratch-resistant treatment, the lens has a Repelon™ coating, which repels moisture, oil, and dust.

✓ Strengths

• Polarized lens – reduces glare from wet asphalt, puddles, and car bodies.
• Brown tint – increases contrast and better defines potholes, bumps, and changes in road surface.
• Repelon™ treatment – the surface repels moisture, oil, and dust, staying cleaner longer.
• UV400 filter – blocks ultraviolet radiation up to 400 nm, including UVA and UVB.
• Scratch-resistant treatment – surface protected from micro-scratches from daily use.
• Matte black soft-touch frame – velvety, non-reflective finish, light on the face.
• Blue rubber temples and nose pads – keep the glasses stable even with sweat and add the model's color accent.

Who is it perfect for?

The brown lens is the choice for those who spend more time on rural roads than in the city center: when the light alternates between sun and shade, tree-lined sections, ups and downs, and passing clouds, the warm tint increases contrast and makes the road surface more readable compared to a neutral lens. Polarization removes glare from wet asphalt and windows, while the Repelon™ treatment keeps the lens cleaner for longer on long journeys. The soft-touch frame with blue rubber temples is light and stays firmly in place under a jet helmet. It's eyewear that also works well off the motorcycle, from cycling to fishing, where contrast matters more than color fidelity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose brown lenses instead of gray?
Because it increases contrast. The brown tint filters out part of the blue component of light, which usually flattens the scene, and provides a sharper image: potholes, gravel, and changes in asphalt are noticed sooner. The trade-off is a slightly warm color rendition, less faithful than that of the gray lens.

What is Repelon™ treatment?
It's the coating that Global Vision applies to the Daytona 1 lens to repel moisture, oil, and dust. It reduces dirt adhesion: drops slide off more easily and oily residues are removed with less effort. It is not an anti-fog treatment and does not eliminate the need to clean the lens regularly.

Does polarization interfere with motorcycle displays?
It can happen. Some LCD screens emit already polarized light: when viewed through a polarized lens, from a certain angle, they may appear dark or with halos. Usually, a slight head movement is enough to make them readable again. This is normal behavior for all polarized lenses, not a defect of the eyewear.

Is it also suitable for non-drivers?
Yes. It is a full-fledged polarized sunglass, and the brown tint is also appreciated for cycling, boating, and fishing, where contrast helps to read water and terrain. The wrap-around and lightweight frame makes it comfortable for outdoor sports use, not just on a bike.

How should it be stored?
It should be stored in a hard case or a padded pouch, never placed lens-down on a hard surface. For cleaning, warm water and a microfiber cloth are sufficient: no alcohol, no aggressive detergents, and especially no dry rubbing, which wears away the Repelon™ and scratches the lens.
