Carrera Eyewear
Eyewear / Eyewear By Brands / CarreraThe Carrera Panamericana race was a sportscar racing event that took place in Mexico from 1950 to 1955. Most experts agree that it was the most dangerous race of any type in the world. And it was this race that inspired Austrian designer Wilhelm Anger to name his line of sports eyewear after this most dangerous of races. CARRERA was originally dedicated to making motorcycle goggles and ski masks, but quickly added recreational and fashion eyewear to its repertoire. Its crowning achievement was the development of Optyl, a heat-hardened plastic that weighed twenty percent less than acetate, reduced allergic reactions, and improved fit through permanent elasticity and dimensional stability. Today, CARRERA eyewear produces fashion sunglasses, eyeglass frames, and eyewear for sports such as cycling, motorcycle racing, and skiing. The brand boasts technology such as Optyl material and polarization techniques. Form meets function in the chic comfort and style of CARRERA.
