THE KAENON POLARIZED SHADES OF SPRING
Spring has sprung right on time here at Kaenon, and with it comes a wide range of styles in a new color palette for both men and women. From the back-by-popular-demand Delite in gorgeous hand-painted Fern, to the best-selling Beacon in stealthy Matte Black, our Spring 2010 Collection offers something for everyone.

KAENON ON STAGE WITH SUBLIME WITH ROME AND INXS
Two legendary bands with two new lead singers are both rockin’ Kaenon Polarized. Watch for our friends, Sublime with Rome, as they kick off their first full-scale tour in just a few weeks—on 4/20, appropriately enough. New lead vocalist Rome Ramirez will be sporting a variety of Kaenon Rx styles, including Arlo and Beacon in new Matte Black. Kaenon was also featured before thousands of fans who attended and watched the sold out Vancouver Olympic Victory Ceremony concert last month. Wearing the new Delite, Black G12 sunglasses, INXS frontman JD Fortune delivered a gold medal-worthy performance.

A REAL “BIG FISH STORY”—WITH THE PICS TO PROVE IT!
Our friend and waterman, Jared Lane (Burny, Black, G12 lens) of Fast Lane Sailing and Paddle Center down in San Diego, went on a shark-fishing adventure few weeks ago that won him a prize far bigger than he had bargained for! Jared wanted to find out if he could surf behind a shark, and in the process landed a 100lb. thresher shark from his stand up paddleboard, actually pulling the beast up in his lap. Yep, you read that right!

Congratulations to Karen Wrenn, who is wearing the yet to be released women’s sport sunglass Soft Kore, White Pearl, C12 lens for her extraordinary accomplishment of paddling 39.8 miles from California’s Catalina Island to the mainland.

PERSONALIZED LENS TINTS AND FRAME STYLES THAT PERFORM ACROSS PGA & LPGA TOURS
Kanvas, Matte Black with Grey 12 lenses this season, Kevin Streelman has been a staple on leader boards, finishing seventh at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last weekend. Robert Allenby wore the semi-rimless Hard Kore, Black with Copper 50 lenses at the same event. Two top players on the PGA Tour, in the same tournament, on the same days, sharing the same course, chose different frame designs, lens tints and Light Transmission Levels that span the spectrum of lens options that Kaenon Polarized is known for.

LPGA star Morgan Pressel showcased the brand new Sequence, Gold with G12 lenses, playing all four rounds wearing the new aviator-inspired metal frame at the Kia Classic, finishing in sixth. Kaenon Polarized approaches golf lens technology and frame designs with people’s individual needs in mind. Everyone’s sun sensitivity levels and face shapes are different, so Kaenon’s design and technology are based on personal preference…

DANICA PATRICK: AMERICA’S BUSIEST RACE CAR DRIVER
Back in her familiar open-wheel Indy Car, torrential rain on race day postponed the Honda Grand Prix of St. Pete until Monday morning, where Danica Patrick Burnet, Havana, G12 lens and Pino, Havana, G12 lens between drives, powered through traffic to finish seventh in the second road-race of the young Indy Car season. Proving that driving two different series and two totally different race cars in the same season is no easy feat, Danica is showing she’s capable of performing at the highest level in America’s two top racing series. After a month of racing the heavier Stock Cars, Danica is now focused on the high-performance Indy Cars with the goal of winning her favorite race on her favorite track, the Indy 500, before she starts double duty again on the NASCAR circuit…
