Probably one of the most up and coming markets in our sunglass collection is going to be for those individuals that want athletic sunglasses. What are athletic sunglasses? Well, this pair of sunglasses right here, I don't know if the camera picks it up, hopefully it does, but it's ventilated. This particular pair of sunglasses is designed for those who ride bikes a lot like Lance Armstrong. Riding at high rates of speed, sweat, air is cutting through there to kind of reduce the amount of steam that builds up behind the eyes. I'll try these on. You can kind of see that these are wrapped. If these don't have this ventilation here on the side, you'll probably, when you're doing a lot of exercising, riding a bike, you're going to get a lot of buildup of the steam behind the glasses just from your body temperature in relation to the outside. This prevents the glasses from steaming up. Again, the tint in here, we'll go over tints a little bit later but this is again so that this type of tint is amber, kind of orange color allows the rider to pick up things on the road a little bit easier. So again, athletic eye wear is really, you know, coming into its own. There are glasses for golfers, which have a certain distinct tint that helps them pick up the ball a little bit better on their swing. For everything, volleyball, all types of different. I'll show you one other one. This is one of my favorites for those of you who might do some motorbiking or motor sports. You can kind of see in here, we have a foam padded. This is so, when a motorcycle rider puts on his helmet, it doesn't squeeze the glasses into the person's face. They have this foam padding so that it doesn't go all the way back. I'll try this on. I'm not a motorcycle rider but I'll illustrate. So, really good coverage here. It's really not hitting on my face. It's actually very comfortable. Total wrap, nothing is getting into these. It should be very comfortable for a bike rider. You can actually put lenses into these by putting an insert into the glasses. So, you can make these prescription even though they don't look like they could be done but they can be. So again, recreational glasses, ask your optician. If you have a particular sport that you like, that you participate in, there's probably something out there for you that's going to work.
