Hard Coatings and Anti-fogging

Yamamoto Kogaku was the first to develop film insert technology that enables film and polycarbonate to be molded together.

Under the Swans brand, Yamamoto Kogaku has developed eyewear for sports incorporating high-precision lenses, 1000 percent stronger than glass while being ultra-lightweight and resistant to shock. Also resistant to abrasion and scratches, these lenses do not distort light and are excellent choices for baseball, fishing, golf, marathons and other sports as well as for use in goggles for skiing and swimming.

Setting their sights on dust-proof and light-shielding glasses as well as laser filters, they have employed plastic filter manufacturing technologies to control the wavelength of light, introducing a new lineup of products that provide world-class functionality.

A wide range of products beyond eye protection, ranging from respirators and disposable masks to protective gear to prevent against dust and toxins as well as products fitted with electrical fans have been developed under the Yamamoto brand.

When participating in snow activities, fogging is always a problem.

This can diminish the ability to enjoy the snow.

After a serious investigation into the causes of fogging, Swans, developed the TBR system, a new way to prevent goggles from fogging.
The TBR system employs a miniature electric fan in goggles, placed in the shell of the upper frame to decrease the snow and slush that enters.
Easy to operate even when wearing ski gloves, this efficiently ventilates the moisture that causes fogging inside goggles.

A large air intake is also provided at the front of the frame for replacing the ejected moisture with fresh air.

This product is the only pair of goggles in the world equipped with an electric fan.

It received the Good Design Award.

Swans eyewear is made from polycarbonate for shock resistance 10 times stronger that of the glass used in helmets for astronauts.
Polycarbonate has the amazing property that its functionality is constant even in severe cold/hot temperature.
Produced using the first film integration molding technology in the world, the precision lenses are ultra-lightweight, resistant to shock, abrasion and scratching, and have superior optical performance.

Features
•The lenses decrease UVA, UVB and UVC ultraviolet light by 99.9%.
•The polarizing lens controls glare due to the diffuse reflection of light.
•The water-repellent nature instantly disperses water drops, ensuring clear sight even with bad weather or perspiration.
•The spherical curvature of the lens follows the shape of the face, cutting wind resistance and preventing wind from being pulled inside the lens.
Light is also prevented from entering in from the side.
