The Novato glasses are a unisex and bold pair of gaming glasses from GUNNAR. Furthermore, they are part of their legendary range, so they offer a few extra elements that will impress. First, there are exotic materials, customisable hinges, and a sense of perfect balance. Additionally, there is a premium G-Shield coating and a longer warranty, not that you should need it.
These glasses are bold and ultra-lightweight. Moreover, they are a real head turner with their sharp and uncompromising style. Subsequently, if you love to make a fashion statement while protecting your eye health, these gaming specs must be on your radar.
If you sit at a desk all day and have to stare at a monitor, I bet your eyes feel dry, tired, and uncomfortable. Fortunately, these glasses will reduce those issues with the GUNNAR patented lens technology. Your eyes retain moisture, and you’ll no longer struggle with itchy lenses. Instead, the reduction in sharp contrasting colours and exposure to blue light and UV light make this product a game-changer.
What’s in the box of the Novato glasses?
- The packaging is simple but robust. Moreover, it can be recycled.
- The Novato glasses are remarkably flexible and lightweight. The titanium frame is strong, and the angular aviator style is unusual, but pleasant to look at.
- A hard and soft case keeps your glasses safe.
- Clean the lenses with the microfibre cloth.
Technical aspects.
The Novato glasses can be purchased with the amber or amber sun-shift lenses. Alternatively, if you need a prescription, you can order -5 to +5 at checkout. I was supplied with the amber version, and I couldn’t be happier. This offers 65% blue light protection and 100% UV protection. Therefore, your eyes will feel better the first time you wear these glasses.
GUNNAR offers its G-Shield premium coating with the legendary range. This anti-reflective and smudge-resistant layer is perfect if you do live streaming. Alternatively, the lack of smudging delivers a professional appearance if you wear these to work or a Zoom/Teams call.
Build quality.
The build quality is where the Novato glasses shine. We’ve all had glasses where they are too tight on your temples or the nose pads are uncomfortable. Thankfully, the flexible hinges make sure that these are suitable for different sizes and shapes of heads. Moreover, the nose pads can be adjusted for maximum comfort.
The frame is crafted from ultra-lightweight titanium. This makes these the perfect option if you love to game for hours. I wore them while playing games and working from my laptop, and I forgot I was wearing them. With large lenses, your eyes will be protected from harmful blue and UV light. This makes them ideal if you struggle with fatigue or if your eyes feel heavy and uncomfortable during work.
Not every pair of GUNNAR glasses comes with a hard case, but these do. The case is strong, simple, and professional. If this doesn’t take your fancy, you can slip the soft case in your pocket and keep your glasses close to hand. Either way, the cases and the microfibre cloth are quality additions.
Are the Novato glasses worth it?
The striking angular design won’t be for everyone, but I like the modern take on a classic approach. Furthermore, the lightweight design and extremely strong frame are a winner if you work for hours and you’re a bit clumsy. The Novato glasses are striking, interesting, and a real head turner. Therefore, I like them, and I recommend buying them here!
