(PEAPACK, NJ) – How often have you sat on sunglasses?
How many pair have you broken? Swiss-made TN Sunglasses
<www.tnsunglasses.com> , now available in the U.S. and
Caribbean, solve the problem with sleek, comfortable, flexible,
virtually unbreakable, high-style sports sunglasses.
What makes these sunnies so exceptional? Tie the frames in a knot, undo
it, and they take their original shape. The secret is in the material.
TN Sunglasses frames are based on the proprietary TSM System™, an
optimal material-plus-design combination, and crafted of a Swiss,
flexible, stable fiber that is highly durable, comfortable and
lightweight. The most popular model, Force One, weighs only 23 grams
with the lenses.
Vigorously tested, TN polycarbonate lenses are distortion-free, impact-
and scratch-resistant, and they surpass European and American guidelines
for high-performance sunglasses. Of the five models, several include
multiple lenses to adjust to changing light conditions. All provide 100%
UVA+B+C protection, and all are available in polarized or non-polarized.
The Deluxe model offers a PVC clip-in frame to accommodate prescription
lenses.
With growing market share in more than 200 optic and high-end sports
stores in Switzerland, TN Sunglasses’ award-winning, performance-driven,
high-fashion shades are now selling at American stores like Paragon
Sports, Darien Sports Shop and New Canaan Cyclery, among others, for
$129 to $229 USD retail. All sunnies come in stylish, zippered, travel
cases with foam interior for added protection, with a microfiber sleeve.
They’re receiving accolades worldwide.
Pro-athlete approved
World-class pro athletes like Ironman triathlon champion Tom Evans,
short-course triathlon star and model Juliano Teruel, duathlon national
champion and surf rescuer Kevin Danahy, beach volleyball duo Raphael
Zurgilgen and Marco Fölmli, and the EmmenSkaters inline squad endorse
the sunglasses and wear them in and out of competition. TN Sunglasses
also have a sponsorship presence in auto racing, cross-country skiing,
rowing, and extreme sports.
“After six years of trying different types of sunglasses, I finally
found one brand that meets all of my needs – comfort, support and style.
It was difficult to find an all-around, complete frame. TN Sunglasses
found it,” says Danahy, 2005 Ironman Vineman champion, 2003 USATriathlon
national champion and 2006 runner-up, and 2003 USAT duathlon national
champion and ITU World Cup duathlon champion.
Modest beginning, award-winning
In 2002, on a tiny budget of about $400 USD, Gregory Holzapfel, a
21-year-old Swiss student and sportsman, set out to create virtually
indestructible sports sunglasses. Inspired by floor hockey sticks whose
blades are flexible enough to curve for left- or right-handed players
yet strong enough to take slap shots, he knew he would reach his dream.
Sourcing high technology fiber and design, TN Sunglasses was launched.
Holzapfel and his sunglasses are world-class in their own right, too. In
2005, the Swiss government invited TN Sunglasses to be one of the
innovative companies representing Swiss technology at the World’s Fair
for Modern Technology in Aichi, Japan. That same year, he received
another honor back home, the Annerkennungspreis des Berner Jugenpreises,
which commends youth excellence for creativity, ingenuity and
persistence.
TN Sunglasses are priced from $129 - $229 USD. Models with four lenses
are $198 USD. TN Sunglasses are available in select sporting goods, ski,
bike, and optic stores throughout North America. For more information,
