What is REVO coating? Professional athletes all choose it?
ChangWilsonWhat is REVO coating?
REVO Coating was originally derived from NASA's space optical technology . It is an optical filtering technology composed of multiple layers of nano-level metal oxides. Its purpose is to actively control the way and wavelength of light passing through the lens, thereby providing a clearer, more stable and comfortable visual experience.
Unlike the simple "sunshading" function of traditional lenses, REVO coating can perform selective filtering. Specifically, it provides solutions to the following optical challenges:
1. Five core functions of REVO coating
| Core Features | Functional Description |
|---|---|
| Blocks high-energy blue light and ultraviolet rays | Effectively blocks high-energy blue light and ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 400-500nm, protects the retina and reduces eye fatigue. |
| Anti-glare effect | Suppresses the strong glare caused by reflected light from the sea, snow, cement, etc., making vision more stable and comfortable. |
| Improve color contrast and scene levels | Control the transmission ratio of light in different bands to make the green grass, blue sky and mountain scenery clearer and the vision more three-dimensional. |
| Reduce visual distortion and uneven brightness | The multi-layer coating is evenly distributed, reducing the brightness difference between the edge and center of the field of view, and reducing the sense of sight deviation. |
| Mirror finish and styling | The mirror reflection can present visual effects such as ice blue and kumquat, combining functionality and fashion style. |
2. REVO ≠ colored lenses
Many people mistakenly believe that "REVO means mirror color", but in fact, REVO refers to a multi-layer light filtering coating technology, and the color is only the result of the coating material and refraction angle. A true REVO lens needs to have complete light filtering, UV resistance and anti-glare capabilities, not just surface reflection.
REVO multi-layer coating structure detailed explanation
The REVO mirrors used by GoPlayer® all contain more than seven layers of functional films. The following is an introduction to common coating functions:
| Coating level | Functional Description |
|---|---|
| Scratch-resistant protective layer | Improve wear resistance and scratch resistance, extend lens life |
| Anti-oil and anti-fingerprint layer | Resist sweat, fingerprints and grease adhesion to keep the mirror clean |
| Enhanced contrast coating | Enhance color levels and scene contrast, reduce blur |
| Anti-glare coating | Reduce backlight and reflected light interference, stabilize vision |
| Color control coating | Adjust the overall tone and filter intensity to present your own color |
| Metal oxide coating | Blocks ultraviolet rays and some high-energy blue light |
| Base anti-UV film | Provides a bonding layer between the lens and the coating, and is also the first line of protection against UV rays |
What is the difference between REVO and ordinary lenses?
Ordinary lenses can only block the sun, but cannot effectively filter out "high energy visible light" (HEV) in strong light, nor can they adjust the color. However, the REVO lens has "light filtering selectivity", which not only reduces the overall brightness, but also retains details and colors.
Analysis of the functions and uses of common REVO coating colors
| Coating color | Features | Suitable for scenes |
|---|---|---|
| Ice Blue | Strong reflective suppression, strong sunshade effect | Noon strong light, seaside, water reflection, summer bicycle |
| Orange | Improve contrast and enhance visual clarity of green grass and blue sky | Golf, mountain climbing, low light at dawn and dusk |
| gold | Improve brightness and soften shadows | Cloudy days, weak sunlight in autumn and winter |
| Silver Gray | Neutral filter, no color cast | Daily wear, driving and commuting |
| Blue Gray | Light filtering, cold adjustment, stable, anti-glare | Sea fishing, water sports, high brightness scenes |
| green | Gentle eye protection, stable vision | Forest trails, off-road hiking |
| Purple | Improve contour sharpness | Snow, high altitude, high contrast demand environment |
| Rose Pink | Reduce stress and protect eyes, soften visual stimulation | Women's wear, daily wear |
Different REVO colors are not just cosmetic choices, but reflect the composition of the lens coating and the light filtering band. GoPlayer® offers a variety of colors to combine function and style.
