Sito The Void: Polarized Pilot Sunglasses Built for Trendsetters
The Void takes the oversized aviator silhouette of the 1970s and refines it for the modern wearer. The defining feature is the bold double nose bridge, a structural statement that anchors the wide-set lenses and gives the frame its retro authority. Paired with the large, slightly squared lens shape, the result is a look that reads vintage cool without feeling like a costume.
Sito builds The Void from handmade plant-based acetate, a bio-sourced material that offers richer depth and pattern than injection-molded plastic while carrying a lower environmental footprint. The frame feels substantial in the hand and sits securely on the face, a quality that matters when you are on the water, on a bike, or moving through a full South Florida day.
CR-39 Polarized Lenses
The lenses are CR-39, a thermoset optical resin that has been the benchmark for sunglass optics for decades. CR-39 is significantly lighter than glass, scratch-resistant, and offers exceptional optical clarity with minimal distortion. The polarized filter cuts horizontal glare reflected off water, sand, and pavement, which reduces eye fatigue and improves contrast in bright conditions. High UV protection is built in, shielding your eyes from both UVA and UVB radiation.
CR-39 is also the material of choice for wearers who prioritize optical fidelity over impact resistance, making it the right pick for everyday wear and leisure activities where sharp, true-color vision matters most.
Australian Standards Construction
The Void is made to Australian standards for sun protective eyewear, a certification framework recognized for its rigorous UV transmission and optical quality requirements. This is not marketing language. It means the lenses have been tested against defined thresholds for UV blockage and optical clarity before the frames ship. Sito backs that quality commitment with sustainable packaging that includes a protective pouch to keep the lenses scratch-free between wears.
Frame Fit and Dimensions
The fit profile is generous, suited to medium to large face shapes. The wide frame and long temples keep the frame stable without gripping. Key dimensions are confirmed from Sito specification data:
- Lens Width (A): 56 mm
- Nose Bridge (B): 17 mm
- Temple Length (C): 145 mm
- Frame Width (D): 146 mm
These measurements let you compare directly against frames you already own for the most accurate fit assessment before purchasing.

It produces richer visual depth than standard injection-molded plastic, feels more substantial on the face, and carries a lower environmental footprint. Sito uses it throughout the construction of The Void frame.
