Testing the ROKA At-1 Sunglasses | Photo Connor Burkesmith Mountain Weekly News
From ROKA Sunglasses comes the AT-1 sunglasses. With C3i Optics and durable frame, the AT-1s are designed for outdoor enthusiasts who go the extra mile. These sunglasses boast world class materials for an ultralight and ultradurable product.
ROKA Lens Technology
The ROKA AT-1 comes with C3i Optics that are Z87+ tested and validated for ballistic protection. Your eyes are important, take protection seriously. In addition to Z87+ the lenses come with high quality coatings including:
- Front and back-side hydroleophobic coatings to keep moisture from sticking on the lens
- Front and back-side anti-scratch protection
- Multi-layer anti-reflective back-side coating
- Anti-fog coating on the back of the lens
- Multi-layer mirror coating
I went with the gold mirror lens and found it perfect for medium to bright days on the snow. The anti-fog coating was a game changer for me when touring.
ROKA AT-1 Weight and Durability
In addition to ballistic tested lenses the ROKA AT-1 comes with a TR-90 nylon frame. This frame is extremely lightweight and durable. The sunglasses weigh in at 31 grams and can take a tremendous beating.
ROKA AT-1 Fit and Features
One of the standout features of the ROKA AT-1 sunglasses is their precision fit. They have a controlled curve that fit my head much better than the average sunglasses. The lenses fully covered my eyes and I forgot I was wearing sunglasses at all in the bright snow.
I also loved the Geko no slip retention system. This is a ribbed rubber section on the arms of the sunglasses that keep these sunglasses attached to your head during any activity.
