Petrol Eyewear
The Repelium coating on Apex’s ($150) seven-layer polarized lenses reduces glare, repels water and oil, and protects the eyes by suppressing blue light. Petrol’s golden alloy and acetate frames refine the Apex’s appearance, and its corrosion-resistant steel hinges offer durability in all weather conditions. The bronze lenses—cast and vacuum coated in France—add contrast to terrain contours and road markings, while maintaining a driver’s ability to accurately recognize color.
