The Koharu Eclipse S3 eyewear has been debuted as a design from District Vision in collaboration with POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) as an activewear-driven accessory perfect for supporting athletic requirements. The eyewear features custom lens cuts that were developed especially for the collaboration including a dynamic six-base blade style frame that will wrap snuggly around the face. The shield-style design of the lens means the wearer can enjoy an overall expanded field of vision that will work well for running and cycling requirements.
The Koharu Eclipse S3 eyewear makes use of District Vision's hand-sculpted D+ lens technology to support enhanced contrast alongside impressive eye comfort. The eyewear comes in three styles to choose from including Deep Sea, Lichen and Sand.
