AMO’s NXT® Medium Dark Lens is offered as an upgrade option on AMO’s Typhoon Cirrus, Nimbus and Gale sports sunglasses and may be purchased separately. It is an outstanding high quality lens with exceptionally high optical clarity for high light levels.

It is made from Trivex® by NXT®, engineered by AMO to produce an outstanding optic with no haze and no distortion, even towards the outer edges. It’s optical clarity measures 28 on the NBS pattern definition test and has an abbe clarity value between 42 and 45 - a value equivalent to the naked human eye.

As with all AMO lenses, it is virtually bullet proof: specifically this lens will stop a quarter inch steel ball bearing travelling at 150 ft per second: great impact protection for cyclists, mountain bikers and ultra runners - stones flicked up from the road and low hanging branches won’t get past this lens.

A hydrophobic coating repels moisture, sweat, water and mud. At full speed with the guy in front flicking mud up in your face, you’ll still see the track ahead in perfect clarity.

AMO has also engineered durability and longevity into this lens. It is scratch resistant, so even after years of abuse it will still look just great. And it’s washable without any risk of damage to the hydrophobic or scratch resistant coatings.

The lens shape is large and wraps around the sides. Matched with the Typhoon series frames, the NXT® Dark Lens offers outstanding bright-light level vision for ultra runners, triathletes, marathon runners and cyclists.
