When you think of eyewear that blends raw nature with precision engineering, the new Tioga from GUNNAR’s Mythic Performance Purity Collection is it. Inspired by the crystalline waters of Tioga Lake, these frames aren’t just glasses — they’re a statement of craftsmanship, performance, and timeless style.
At first glance, the modern round silhouette feels familiar, but the closer you look, the more the details set it apart. The frame is carved from Italian acetate reinforced with carbon-fiber wood, available in two striking finishes: Maroon Rosewood and Gray Crystal Walnut. It’s a balance of natural elements and high-tech resilience.
But the real power is in the lenses. Unlike standard synthetics, Tioga uses mineral glass, the same material trusted in high-end cameras and telescopes. That means you get distortion-free clarity, exceptional scratch resistance, and long-term durability. Paired with GUNNAR’s patented technology, the lenses block harmful blue light and 100% UV — without washing out the world around you.
Two lens options give you control over your experience:
- GUNNAR-Focus Amber (65 GBLF) for maximum visual comfort, especially during long screen sessions.
- Clear Pro (20 GBLF) for uncompromising color fidelity, ideal for creatives who need true-to-life visuals.
Every pair comes with the hallmarks of luxury: spring hinges for comfort, G-Shield® Premium Plus coating for protection, and a Mythic-level case with a two-year warranty. MSRP lands at $250, which is right in line for a product positioned as both a performance tool and a refined accessory.
The Tioga isn’t about trend-chasing. It’s about marrying cutting-edge optics with design that feels grounded in nature — a pair of glasses that could live on a mountaintop or behind a designer’s desk. It’s eyewear for people who want the best materials, the best clarity, and a look that doesn’t scream but speaks volumes.
