 A BRIDGE FOR ALL NOSES. Who hasn’t gotten a headache or those not-so-attractive red indents from a too-tight nose bridge?

New from Liberty Sport, the Autofit™ nose bridge design adjusts to accommodate all shapes and sizes while the dual channel nosepad also helps to prevent moisture buildup and increase airflow. The first Liberty Sport sunglass to utilize this technology is Chaser, an Rxable frame available in shiny white, shiny black, shiny gunmetal, olive, and tortoise.
