If you wear eyeglasses and need stronger protection from bright outdoor light, Eschenbach Solar Shield Plum Fit-Over Sunglasses give you a dark filter while allowing you to keep your regular eyewear underneath.
The Plum Solar Shield lens is designed primarily to reduce overall light transmission and glare. With approximately 14% visible light transmission, it is one of the darker Solar Shield filters and is well suited to people who are uncomfortable in bright sunlight or want stronger brightness reduction. Eschenbach specifically groups Plum with Gray as the Solar Shield filters intended to decrease overall light transmission and reduce glare.
Plum lenses are best when you want strong brightness reduction and glare control with a colored tint instead of a traditional gray lens.
They can be a good choice for people with outdoor light sensitivity who find lighter filters do not provide enough visual comfort. The dark plum tint reduces the amount of visible light reaching the eyes while providing a different color experience than neutral gray. If you are looking for lenses that will provide more contrast and better viewing for details try the yellow, amber or orange lenses.
Plum lenses may be especially useful for activities such as:
The Plum Solar Shield filter allows approximately 14% of visible light through. Eschenbach’s current Solar Shield tint specifications list Plum at 14% light transmission.
In simple terms, about 86% of visible light is filtered out, so this is a dark lens.
That makes Plum most appropriate for bright conditions where you want substantial brightness reduction, rather than indoor or dim-light situations.
Plum lenses are most appropriate for daytime use in bright conditions. Their dark 14% light transmission can help reduce uncomfortable brightness and glare while driving during the day.
Because they significantly reduce the amount of visible light reaching your eyes, they are not appropriate for night driving or low-light driving.
No. The Plum Solar Shield lens is not polarized.
Its primary benefit is reducing overall brightness and glare through its dark tint. If reflected glare from roads, water or other shiny surfaces is your main concern and you specifically want polarization, the Solar Shield Polarized Gray lens is the polarized option.
