Marked by its simple and subtle styling, Kabin is a wear-everyday-go-anywhere piece that exudes original, back-to-the-basics style.
Kabin is equally at home on the street, water, golf course, or wherever your pursuits may lead.
Superior optical performance in a clean and traditional frame, Kabin features slender temples and modest branding.
Made in Italy, the frame is injection-molded from TR-90 to ensure a consistent fit, with durable yet lightweight construction for superior performance and comfort, and is further enhanced by the ultra-grippy recessed Variflex nose pads buried in the bridge which securely anchor the frame to your face.

INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating:*****

Hands down the best lens in the industry - have worn in the past: oakley, smith, vuarnet, revo, ray-ban, costa, and bolle. all good glasses but then there is a huge step in between good and great. Kaenon has made the leap to great. I use mine for driving, fly fishing, mowing the yard, anything outdoors and the c12 copper lens fits the bill for everything with the contrast and depth perception that so far has been unmatched by any other.

Great glasses

Rating:*****

Lenses are the best ever. I've never worn any brand that is this clear and concise. I find myself wearing my sunglasses way more than I ever used to because the lenses are so clear and the frames are so comfortable. Highly recommend these to anyone. I also own the UPD which is a smaller fit similar to these which fit a little bigger.

Great Sunglasses - These fit my face exceptionally well - the embedded rubber nose pads are a big plus, especially in warmer weather. Lenses are dark, but not too dark, and the polarization makes you feel like you have "super eyes". Lastly, the construction appears superior - very substantial, not flimsy at all.
