Electric Portofino polarized sunglasses built for sophisticated everyday wear
Anyone searching for the Electric Portofino polarized sunglasses is usually after a refined frame that still performs like real eyewear, and this style is built to deliver both. It carries a sophisticated shape suited to weekend wear while housing the same optical engineering Electric puts into its performance lines.
What it is built from
- Hand-polished M49 Bio-Acetate produced by Mazzucchelli
- Optical grade 5 barrel stainless steel hinge for strength
- Teflon coated hinge screws for durability
- Custom heat tempered wire temple inserts for fit and strength
- Made in Italy with a lifetime warranty
What the lenses do
- Melanin-infused polycarbonate lenses
- 98% protection from harmful HEV light and 100% UV protection
- Premium scratch resistance and impact protection
- 4 base lens curvature
The melanin infusion is what delivers eye relaxation and accurate color perception along with the UV and HEV blocking, while the 4 base curvature keeps the lenses close to the face for a cleaner field of view.
Who it is for and the fit
The Portofino measures 52mm H by 143mm W by 145mm L and weighs 43 grams, a build light enough for all-day wear whether you are on a boat, at the beach, or headed out afterward. The hand-polished bio-acetate and heat tempered temple inserts are what let the frame hold that fit through repeated wear.
Care for the frame and hinges
Store the Portofino in a hard case when not in use to protect the Mazzucchelli bio-acetate finish, and clean the lenses with a soft microfiber cloth rather than a rough fabric so the scratch resistant coating stays intact over time.
