Some designs are timeless for a reason. The Vallon Daytrippers Dark Tortoise take the clean, elegant lines of classic 60s eyewear and back them up with performance optics that leave most sports sunglasses standing. Handcrafted acetate frames, polarised V52® lenses and a detachable sports headstrap — this is the pair you wear to the trailhead, on the water and straight into the evening without ever feeling out of place.
The Daytrippers are built around Vallon's proprietary V52® lens technology — and the numbers tell the story. An ABBE value of 52 delivers exceptional optical clarity that sits at the top of the performance sunglasses market. 20% lighter than comparable lenses, sports impact resistant and fully polarised, these lenses cut glare and sharpen your view whether you're on open water, a mountain trail or a sun-drenched road.
Cat. 3 protection with 12–15% visible light transmission and full UV400 coverage across the spectrum. Available in green or smoke tint — both delivering the same uncompromising protection in different light conditions. Anti-scratch coating throughout keeps the lenses performing at their best long after the first adventure.
At 33g, the handcrafted cellulose acetate frames sit light on the face without feeling fragile. Hypoallergenic and built to the kind of tolerances you'd expect from a premium eyewear brand — these frames look refined because they are.
The temple ends carry a metal core that can be shaped to your face — turn the tips inward for a more secure fit or ease them outward to create room if needed. A small detail that makes a significant difference across a long day's wear.
Trail running, kayaking, sailing, climbing — whatever the activity, the detachable sports headstrap keeps the Daytrippers exactly where they should be. When the day calls for it, clip it on and get moving. When it doesn't, leave it off and wear them as the classically styled sunglasses they are.
Because most sunglasses make you choose between looking good and performing well. The Daytrippers don't. Classic 60s aesthetic, best-in-class optical clarity, polarised lenses and a fit that adjusts to your face — this is the pair you reach for every time, whatever the day holds.
