Flexible, fully-adjustable temples prevent headaches and eyestrain caused by poor fit.  The corrosion-resistant surface of every frame is hand-finished and hand polished.

Optical-quality, precision-milled hinges with self-locking screws deliver lasting durability.  Specially contoured, sculpted silicone nosepads reduce strain for a more comfortable fit.

	SERENGETI® Signature Hinge   Our most innovative hinge yet features lost-wax casting, an intricate method of craftsmanship used in the making of fine jewelry and art. It’s a process that requires the use of only the finest metals and alloys. The Signature Hinge is beautifully crafted of copper beryllium and engineered with screws that are exceptionally strong and secure. Hinge components are created by lost-wax casting, also known as cire pirdue, a 5,000-year-old process used to craft intricate works of jewelry and art. Its use dates back to ancient Rome and Egypt. The specially engineered screw is superior to traditional screws, thanks to its durable stainless steel construction and Torx.
	Standard Hinge Our premium spring hinges allow temples to gently hug any face shape for a custom fit. The Internal Spring Hinge features a spring-hinge mechanism, carefully concealed inside the temple. The Mono Block Spring Hinges are crafted from a single component with no soldering of parts creating superior durability.

Lens Information

Drivers are constantly adapting to changing conditions, forced to react to the uncertainty of the sun, clouds and glare.  Serengeti eyewear helps you take control of your view of the road. Our proprietary Spectral Control System selectively filters certain colors in the visible light spectrum, creating a high definition view. All while constantly adjusting  to changing bright and low light conditions with our advanced photochromic lenses. Let Serengeti take control, so you can concentrate on the road ahead.

Lens Materials:

Lenses are made in two different lens materials:

Ultra Light Glass:  Borosilicate optical glass from Corning, which can withstand extreme temperature changes.  The lenses are chemically tempered to ensure scratch and impact resistance, then ground to perfection.  Lenses are also treated with a unique coating that protects the edges, all while being monitored by a technician who examines every lens by hand to ensure the highest quality.  Staying true to Serengeti's commitment to craftsmanship, Serengeti gives unparalleled attention to detail throughout every phase of the lens-making process. 20% lighter and thinner than regular glass, the ultra-light glass lens is the most optically superior lens on the market. Hydrogen fuled Lehr furnaces fuse each lens with the Photochromic and Spectral Control technologies, with varying temperatures determining the proprietary lens color.

Polar PHD Lens:  Built with NXT technology and made from Trivex material which is 75% lighter than glass and 10% lighter than polycarbonate.  Trivex was adapted from fighter jet canopies and helicopter windshields that were designed to withstand extreme impact and temperature changes.  Hydro and oleophobic coatings help to repel water, fingerprints and debris while an anti-reflective coating absorbs glare to eliminate backside reflections.

Lens colors:

Note:  Not all colors available in all frames.

Drivers Photochromic Lenses	The amber-colored Drivers lens is particularly well suited for driving. That’s because it enhances colors and contrast, lightening and darkening for optimal light transmission in any driving condition. It’s also engineered to transmit more red, yellow and green colors, making it ideal for identifying stoplights. And thanks to its ability to relax your eye muscles, the Drivers lens helps reduce stress and fatigue while driving. Available in ultra-light glass.

The light silver mirror coating further reduces eyestrain by acting as a protective shield against glare. Available in ultra-light glass.
