NRC® ADVANCED OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES
ZEISS® and ALMATT® sports lenses developed for real-world performance.
ZEISS® x NRC®
Superior sports optics: NRC chooses ZEISS for high-performance nylon lenses that are lighter and more robust, with consistent visual quality. Developed and crafted in Italy to accompany you on every outing.
ZEISS® High Performance Nylon Lenses
Nylon lenses by ZEISS®
ZEISS® Nylon NRC® lenses offer optical quality over 70% better than polycarbonate, the material used in most sports eyewear. The result is a unique combination of lightness, strength, and clarity, typical of the luxury market, where ZEISS® Nylon is typically reserved for eyewear costing more than €400.
Thanks to the collaboration between ZEISS® and the NRC R&D department, the lenses achieve unprecedented optical performance:
- Reduction of chromatic aberrations
- Greater clarity and visual precision
- ABBE coefficient +73%, even higher than mineral glass
In short: the best ZEISS® lens ever made for sports, exceeding every industry standard. Available on all NRC® models.
Why choose ZEISS® Nylon
ZEISS® x NRC®: Why nylon?
If superior visual quality isn't enough, there are other decisive reasons to choose NRC glasses for every sporting challenge.
Key benefits of ZEISS® SHATTERPROOF NRC® Nylon lenses:
- Greater safety → absorbs high-speed impacts; certified, they pass the High Velocity Test (>2.0)
- BPA-free shape memory material → tested in ZEISS® laboratories, maintains optical perfection even under stress
- Reduces the overall weight of the glasses → +20% lighter than polycarbonate lenses, with natural buoyancy

Ideal for cycling, running and outdoor sports.
Ri-Pel® by ZEISS® treatment
The patented ZEISS® Ri-Pel® surface coating for sports lenses
It keeps vision clear and stable, even in the most challenging conditions. Developed through years of advanced research, it is designed to improve safety, comfort, and visual continuity during sports activities. Thanks to the hydro- and oleophobic surface, the lenses repel water, sweat, and dirt, allowing raindrops to slide off and reducing visual interference.
- Advanced water and oil repellency
- Stain-resistant and fingerprint-resistant surface
- Quick and easy cleaning, so you can get back to action in no time

BioChrom™ Technology: Color that Enhances Performance
BioChrom™ by ZEISS®
BioChrom™ is the ZEISS® Nylon sunglass lens that sets a new standard in colored sports eyewear.
Here, color becomes technology, designed to enhance visual and psychophysical performance, not just to protect the eyes. Each BioChrom™ shade is designed to activate a specific function:
- Refresh (Blue) → reactivates body and mind, ideal after calm phases or intense activities
- Relax (Green) → reduces visual stress, promoting relaxation and creativity
- Focus (Yellow) → improves attention and concentration, reducing reaction times
- Boost (Red) → increases energy and performance, preparing for high intensity situations
BioChrom™ is the result of years of scientific research, developed in collaboration with ZEISS Vision Science Lab (University of Tübingen) and Behavior & Brain Lab – IULM Milan, which have demonstrated how colors actually influence emotions and cognitive performance.
