TILL
Gentle and harmonious in shape, calm and timeless in speech. Style and quality, that’s what the model TILL by Red Bull SPECT Eyewear combines. Its striking design element is the smooth transition from lens to frame, called “Seamless Lens Construction – SLC”. This creates an independent look which turns the sports glasses into a fashion piece. The resulting shield effect contributes to this. The TILL model is a design variant from a family of 3 other shapes that speak the same design language.
