Technology
ProAdapt®
The photochromic technology consists of a special coating. PPEEQQ has chosen the most optimal setting for this. The lens is relatively light at its base, meaning the glasses are quite transparent without darkening. The photochromic layer can darken up to a certain percentage. If the lens were darker at its base, the darkest point would also be higher. The lenses are intentionally not very dark, so they are also comfortable to use on gray, gloomy days. This way, you have an all-round pair of glasses.
The ProAdapt® lenses of PPEEQQ change depending on the amount of UV radiation to provide optimal visibility during all light conditions.
How does it work?
These smart lenses contain special molecules that react to UV light. When you're out under the bright sun, these molecules darken the lenses to shield your eyes. As the light fades, the lenses lighten up, ensuring you always have the perfect tint. It's like magic, but it's science!
Hydroleophobic®
The photochromic PPEEQQ models are always matte and are labeled with
"P R O." This abbreviation stands for Photochromic, Revo, and Oleophobic. Revo refers to the applied coating that enhances color clarity, increases contrast, and reduces light reflection, allowing you to detect obstacles earlier.
The oleophobic and hydrophobic treatment keeps the lens cleaner for longer.
How does it work?
The oleophobic treatment creates a lens coating that repels oils, preventing smudges and fingerprints from sticking. This means your lenses stay cleaner for longer, and any marks can be wiped away effortlessly. It's like having a self-cleaning shield for your eyes.
The hydrophobic treatment also creates a lens coating, but this one ensures that water beads up and rolls off your lenses, rather than sticking and obscuring your vision. This is perfect for those unexpected rain showers or splashes from puddles. With hydrophobic lenses, you can ride confidently in any weather
Anti-Fog
The photochromic PPEEQQ models are always matte and are labeled with
"P R O." This abbreviation stands for Photochromic, Revo, and Oleophobic.
Aside from a oleopholic coating, the glasses are also treated to be anti-fog.
Allowing you to keep clear sight of the road!
The oleophobic and hydrophobic treatment keeps the lens cleaner for longer.
How does it work?
The anti-fog technology in PPEEQQ glasses consists of a special coating applied to the inside of the lens. The lens coating makes the lens highly wettable, meaning it spreads moisture evenly across the surface rather than allowing droplets to form. This coating prevents fogging by maintaining a clear, thin layer of moisture that does not scatter light.

How does it work?
Revo coating is a game-changer for visual clarity. This multi-layer coating enhances color, boosts contrast, and cuts down glare. By filtering specific light wavelengths, Revo coating brings out the true vibrancy of your surroundings. It's like seeing the world in high definition.
If you're cycling on a beautiful spring day under bright sunlight along the dikes, the lens will automatically darken for improved visibility. On that same day, if you ride into the woods, the lens will become lighter. The photochromic lens is suitable for more than 95 percent of cycling conditions. Only during the transition from dusk to darkness do some cyclists say, "Now I'd prefer a lens that's completely transparent."
The alternative to the photochromic lens is the glasses with interchangeable lenses, which are provided as standard. The orange lens is for dull, gloomy weather, the dark lens is useful for the brightest, sunniest conditions, and the transparent lens is for when you're cycling early in the morning or evening, in other words, in the dark. "You can easily remove the lens for a swap: hold the lens in the middle and pull the top of the frame away from the lens so you can take out the sides. You also need to remove the nose pad. Putting a lens back is just a matter of clicking it in."
