IVI Vision Debuts ‘Merc’ a Universal Aviator
10.18.18
Just in time for the Great Pacific Airshow, Orange County-based IVI Vision, a premium independent eyewear company launched the ultimate aviator, the Merc. Inspired by those with the ‘right stuff’ this universal aviator is a nod to the ‘prime’ pilots of the early ‘60s that broke all the barriers. With classic and clean lines with a contemporary edge, the lightweight frame offers ultra-comfort with spring loaded hinges and durable nose pads.
What I love it about the most are the cool colorways inspired by the Pacific that it comes in. There are five shades to choose from including Midway Blue, Antique Brass and Flash Pacific Blue Lens; Black and Rose Gold Lens; Polished Gold/Rose Gold Lens; Polished Gold/Deep Virdian Flash Lens; and Chrome/Super Strong Silver Lens.
As with all of IVI Vision’s eyewear, Merc is impact resistant with optimal clarity, and harmful light protection thanks to its Carl Zeiss lenses. They provide 100% UVA, UVB and Blue light protection.
You can shop the Merc collection at ivision.com.
