t is quite difficult for me to find a correlation between that
eyewear and the movie itself, but I will not be getting into de-

and draw the attention. It is unimportant. Let's focus on the
eyewear itself, because it is worth a closer look.

and foldable, quite protruding temples. Most of the fra-
me elements are made of black, dull (with sort of velvet
feel) Grilamid TR90 nylon. This material is rigid and flexible, as

lightweight, so the total weight is barely a 40 gra,s. The design
of the frame is not aggressive one, rather „futuristic", but pro-
bably more outdoor glasses than „tactical".

ich część wykonana jest z TR90, a dolna, wyraźnie oddzielona
agresywnym wycięciem, z dużo bardziej elastycznego tworzy-
wa, które przypomina twardszą gumę. Zauszniki wyprofilo
