Addictive Gandia C8 Padel Sunglasses by Alejandra Salazar (Black/Purple)

The Addictive Gandia C8 is a pair of padel sunglasses for players who split their time between outdoor and indoor courts. It is Alejandra Salazar's signature model with Addictive, shown here in the black and purple colourway, and it comes with a second set of clear lenses so you are not playing through a dark tint under hall lighting.

• Model: Gandia C8, Alejandra Salazar signature
• Colour: Black/Purple
• Frame: Lightweight sport frame
• UV protection: UVA and UVB
• Lenses: Sun lenses fitted, plus a spare clear set
• Fit: Nose pads and ergonomic temples

The fitted sun lenses cut glare, which matters on a padel court where light bounces off the glass walls as well as coming down from above. When you move indoors or the evening light fades, swap in the clear pair and you keep the eye protection without losing visibility.

Nose pads and shaped temples hold the frame close to your face, so they stay put through quick changes of direction and overheads at the net. The frame is light enough that you stop noticing it a few games in.

If you prefer a lighter frame, the same model comes in white and orange. For sessions where the light keeps shifting and you would rather not change lenses at all, the Javea photochromic glasses adjust their tint by themselves.
