LENS DETAILS

TerraVIEW is designed specifically for the trail. Nature appears as flat green and brown expanses due to the eye being overwhelmed by the predominance of green light from grass and leaves and orange light from bark, branches, and soil.

TerraVIEW reduces green and orange light transmission providing perfectly balanced color perception, revealing more natural shades from your surroundings and improving your total trail experience.

  • Shatter Proof and Scratch Resistant
  • 100% UV Protection 
  • Water and Oil Repellant
  • Anti-Smudge
  • Anti-Reflective

Rim to Rim (R2R)

Jim Walmsley holds the male FKT clocking a supported time of 2:46:08 back in 2016.

Kimber Mattox set the supported female FKT in 2022, clocking an impressive 3:11:57.

Performance

Trail Ready

The Beaten Paths come ready for everything from an easy stroll to the hardest efforts. Trail tech features include notches for a headstrap as well as no-slip-grip nose and temple tips.

Materials

Trail Tough

Lightweight, flexible, and extremely durable. Our premium frames are constructed of a recycled nylon blend that gives you the performance and durability you need at a lower cost to our environment.

Optics

Trail Vision

FKT’s shatter-proof polycarbonate lenses aren’t polarized because polarization isn’t what a trail athlete needs. Polarization is wonderful if you’re on the water or snow, but it can cause depth perception issues if you’re running on a trail with variable light conditions. That’s why we opt for our Trail Vision tech which provides 100% UVA/UVB protection. All lenses are treated with hydro-oleophobic, anti-scratch, and anti-reflective coatings to ensure you maintain a consistent field of view through ever-changing conditions.

Extras

Trail Goodies

Protect and clean your glasses with environmentally friendly accessories. All FKT sunglasses come accompanied by a protective case, recycled microfiber pouch, and recycled microfiber cleaning cloth.
