What You See
What They See
Our Most Versatile Frame Style.
Sporty, clean style with an infusion of high-tech performance features makes the Forte an instant winner on the court.
Superior Anti-Fog Technology
Engineered to prevent moisture from condensing on the lens so that you can stay focused on the next shot, even in the most humid conditions.
Integrated Spring Hinges
Forte's state-of-the-art integrated spring hinge technology allows for the frame arms to flex out when needed without making them become loose for the most comfortable fit possible.
No-Slip Rubber Pads
Built to move with you, Forte's built-in rubber temple and nose pads will keep your sunglasses in place during the most heated battles on court.
FAQ
Are the lenses polarized or non-polarized?
Our racquet-sport lenses are not polarized as polarized lenses block horizontal glare - while this is useful for everyday wear, it can have a negative effect on your depth perception on the court. When you need to see the ball clearly to time your swing, a polarized lens will be an impediment. Regardless, all of our lenses are still 100% UVA/B protective.
I want to try these on, where can I do that?
For now we are only selling from our website so that if you need anything we can help you directly 👊 - however, we do free returns for 30 days after buying so that you can try them on at home without committing. Check out our full return policy here.
Do you do prescription in this frame?
We offer single vision and progressive RX for our Forte frame - please see our RX page to see our RX capabilities.
