DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Designed by Kitesurfers
Dirty Habits develops and tests its eyewear with kitesurfers for ultimate protection on and off the water. The brand has worked on its lens technology to keep your eyes and lenses dry, while also providing impact protection. The RIDE Red/Black model embodies this philosophy: tough, lightweight, and high-performing in the most intense conditions.
TR90 Technology
The TR90 frame uses a thermoplastic developed in Switzerland, renowned for its exceptional lightness, flexibility, and durability. This hypoallergenic material is comfortable enough for all-day wear without irritation, even during multi-hour sessions in the sun, and is suitable for sensitive skin.
Polarized Lenses & Protection
TAC (Tri Acetate Cellulose) polarized lenses offer superior visual clarity and polarization, eliminating glare for better vision, especially on water and snow. As Category 3 lenses, they significantly reduce brightness in sunny conditions. The UV400 protection blocks 100% of harmful UV rays up to 400 nm. Hydrophobic, oleophobic, and anti-scratch coatings repel water, dirt, and sweat while preserving lens clarity.
Comfort and versatility
The Base 8 curve offers a panoramic field of view and unparalleled peripheral vision. Designed to withstand impacts during high-speed activities, they come with a removable, adjustable floating leash and a microfiber pouch. From kitesurf to mountain biking, skiing, Surf, or sailing, the RIDE Red/Black are ready for all your adventures.

FAQ - DIRTY HABITS RIDE RED/BLACK
Polarized lenses filter reflections and cut the glare from light bouncing off water or snow. Many kiters prefer them for visual comfort, while others prefer non-polarized lenses to better read the water's surface and chop. Both work: it's a matter of preference.
Yes, they are developed and tested by kitesurfers. The TR90 frame is impact-resistant, the hydrophobic coating repels saltwater spray, and the floating leash prevents you from losing them if you wipe out.
The sunglasses themselves don't float, but the included floating leash keeps them on the surface if you drop them in the water.
TR90 is a thermoplastic developed in Switzerland. It's an ultra-light, flexible, impact-resistant, and hypoallergenic material, making it the go-to for high-end sports eyewear.
Absolutely. Their versatility makes them perfect for mountain biking, trail running, skiing, Surf, sailing, or just for everyday wear. The Base 8 curve ensures an excellent peripheral field of vision for any activity.
Use the provided microfiber cloth to clean the lenses. Avoid paper tissues or clothing that could scratch the coating. After a session in salt water, give them a quick rinse with fresh water.
