REVO Announces New Distribution

Performance eyewear brand, REVO, announced today that it will begin offering a selection of popular sunglass styles through The North Faceâ„¢ Flagship store locations. The eyewear is currently available now in the New York City, Chicago and San Francisco locations.

Established in 1985, REVO was founded on the idea that the same technology used by NASA for satellites and telescopes could easily be transferred into optics. Today, REVO continues its rich tradition of innovation by creating the clearest and most advanced high contrast polarized sunglasses available. With product designed to enhance any outdoor experience, REVO is the brand for adventure and travel enthusiasts who value premium craftsmanship, the best in polarized lens technology, and preserving and enjoying the environment.

The Guide is designed to wrap around the face and block ambient light while providing maximum visibility. Along with REVO’s bronze and graphite lens options, select styles offered at The North Face locations will also feature REVO’s new Water lens, a polarized lens optimized for the color profiles of open water.
