Scott Eclipse Sportsheilds - (please click photos for larger)

These Scott Sportshields were big in the late eighties Triathlete and cycling fraternity. I think they even predated Oakley with their famous 'Eyeshades' range. Well that is how I saw it anyway. I noticed lots of Scott's like these and then 6 months later, Oakley started to dominate the segment with their Eyeshades. The Oakely's looked better.

These are an ugly pair of sunglasses although they really are sport specific, very light wait and provide excellent sun coverage due to the large wrap round lens. The pink pair predates the yellow.

The pink is a Scott Sportshield in Pink with the 'T16 Grey Lens" this lens is a medium transmission grey lens, preventing colour distortion while maintaining total UV filtration.
The neon Yellow pair are the Scott Eclipse - Sportsheild brandishing the 'T8-High Altitude Tint. Allowing 8% of visible light transmission and 100% UV protection with selective Blue light Filtration. This lens comes also with a blue metallic 'flash' coating on the exterior. This lens is a little brighter and possibly more dynamic than the grey lens.

I whack either pair out every now and then, when I go for a cruise on my bike or even in the car. Their only downfall is that the arms and hinges have some sharp edges that scratch and get a little annoying after long term use, otherwise excellent lenses.

I really like the white 'Scott' etched lenses and being able to remove the top bar, they look way better with out the neon top bar. The arms are also adjustable up and down with 3 clickable notches.
They have these clunky old nose pieces that are screwed in with tiny screws. Oakley was and is all over them in the nose piece department opting for the slide in nose piece. I'm sure these would pull through the lens eventually.

These lenses are made from 'G.E. Lexan' (Made by the laboratories of General Electric) and it is supposed to be one of the most shatter resistant materials in existence. A special proprietary hardcoat is also used to make the lenses extremely scratch-resistant. Overall am happy to have them in my collection and can cut it with the best of them in tackling Thermonuclear warfare, can become a little uncomfortable with long term use.
