OUT OF is pleased to announce the launch of the BOT2, the latest addition to OUT OF's premium sports sunglasses. OUT OF's IRID lenses offer the ultimate in visual comfort and clarity for outdoor activities.

The innovative BOT2 sunglasses are made in Italy from carbon-reinforced grilamid and are incredibly lightweight, weighing just 29 grams.

The second generation of IRID lenses can now adjust completely independently from filter category S1 up to S3, almost twice as much as the first generation. This makes the BOT2 perfect for any outdoor sporting activity. The change in the lenses ensures that the wearer is not distracted by sudden changes in brightness. This is especially important in sports where reaction time is crucial.

"We have developed a completely new range of mirror coatings which, in combination with our LC film, provide even clearer vision. Internal reflections are reduced by 50 percent while maintaining the same contrast enhancement as the first generation.

The BOT2 is available in four different colors and with Adapta adjustable temples for a perfect fit," explains Simone Roldo, Chief Growth Officer of OUT OF. "We have worked on the activation curve and on the electronics to allow even smoother transitions between tints. The second generation of IRID lenses seamlessly adapts to light conditions. In addition, the BOT2 is waterproof," says Roldo.

The BOT2 sunglasses are designed to accommodate optical lenses thanks to the easy-to-fit clip-in feature. With this feature, even those who are partially sighted can enjoy all the benefits of BOT2's cutting-edge technology.

The technology behind BOT2's electronic photochromic lenses is patented by OUT OF and was awarded the prestigious SILMO d'Or in Paris in September 2022. This recognition underlines the innovative nature of the technology and also the impact it will have on the ophthalmic sports eyewear market.
