What does G-15-XLT Lens mean? (just XLT)

Hello,

Those terms are usued interchangeably by [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban[/link] and they all refer to the same tint, smoke green.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need anything else. 8)

Hi,
I have a question: I want to buy [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray Ban[/link] 3025/l0205 [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/sunglasses.html]sunglasses[/link]. However i see offers with 3 types of lenses : one called green/gray ,second described just as green g15 and third called crystal green. Can someone describe me the difference between them or they're all just the same?Kind regards

The G15 is a great lens for bright days. You will get 85% visible light absoption and 100% UV protection. Give me a call at 1-800-504-5897 ex 320. We will talk pricing.

What is the best price for [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban[/link] New Wayfarer [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/sunglasses.html]Sunglasses[/link], 55mm, Black Rubber Frame, Crystal Green Lens 622-5518. I never had green lenses but some pics show the green as not very see thru and i like the black rubber feeling.

thanks,

mike

Hello,

Liz answered this one at the beginning of the post. [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban[/link] G-15 lenses are made from glass. Lenses made from glass are usually heavier than the lenses made out of plastic. [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban[/link] uses a special technology that make glass lenses light weight without diminishing their [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com]optical[/link] quality. To indicate that their lenses are lighter that most glass lenses in the industry, [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray Ban[/link] calls their lenses "XLT", which stands for extra light.

G-15 means green. To quote [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban[/link] exactly they are their trademark neutral green also called the natural vision lens. It offers a 85% light absorption and 100% UV protection.

I hope this helps.

I'll add another question to my previous one. What exactly does G-15 XLT specifies? Is it only the color of the lenses, or is it the material they are made of, too. And thus, when I see G-15 XLT, does it ALWAYS mean the lenses are made of glass, or it may be polycarbonate, too (depending on other specification). I'm not asking only about aviator models, but about all [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban[/link] models as a whole. And what does "G" in G-15 XLT mean? Is it gray or green?

Yes it does, thanks larumd. And I was wondering if [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban[/link] glass lenses have any kind of shatter protection and if they do, is it effective?

That is a good question. Almost all of the [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-aviator-sunglasses.html]Ray Ban Aviator Sunglasses[/url] are made with Crystal (glass) lenses.

However the [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-junior-sun-rj9506s-sunglasses.html]Ray-Ban Junior Sunglasses RJ9506S for Kids[/url] is made with polycarbonate lenses for safety reasons.

I hope this helps you out.

I hope someone replies even though the thread is quite old. Can anyone offer me specific [link=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban[/link] aviator models with polycarbonate lenses, because I'm confused if there are any at all?

I had a chance to call Ray-Ban and they informed me that all of their G-15 crystal (glass) lenses are the XLT technology. Ray-Ban Sunglasses also offer polarized and non-polarized glass options. XLT is glass.

I hope this helps.

I just want to clear something up. Is the G-15-XLT Polarized made of glass or polycarbonate? I have found conflicting things at different seller websites. Thank you.

For the glass or plastic lenses the tint and light transmission will be the exact same.

I hope that helps.

Hello all,

I wonder about the difference between the G15 xlt (glass) grey-green and the polycarbonat grey-green lenses. Let them pass the same among of light or what is the difference ?

Thanks

Greg

Thanks for the post. We do not sell replacement parts such as lenses for the non-prescription [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-icons-rb2140-original-wayfarer-sunglasses.html]Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Sunglasses RB2140[/url]. You would need to contact [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban[/url] for warranty assistance. If you need prescription lenses we can certainly help you.

Please let me know if I can help you further.

do you sell replacement 50mm lenses for the 2140 g15 polarized,? possibly only one lens?

Hello,

I had a chance to call [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban[/url] and they informed me that all of their G-15 crystal (glass) lenses are the XLT technology. [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-sunglasses.html]Ray-Ban Sunglasses[/url] also offer polarized and non-polarized glass options. They have been successfully producing this combination for years. [url=http://www.opticsplanet.com/ray-ban-brand.html]Ray-Ban's[/url] polarization is not a coating, it's a filter built inside of the lens.

I hope this helps.
