3D Glasses – Experience the best 3D movie

Love 3D movies?  A great gift for the family that has everything, Oakley's HDO-3D Gascan® is the first optically correct 3D eyewear ever made.  Experience the clarity, comfort and performance of Oakley sunglasses in cinemas that utilize passive polarization, the technology found in most 3D theaters.  Choose Polished Black or Polished White frames for $120.

Protective Snow Goggles – Performance and function

Beating the glare on the slopes or protecting eyes from the elements, goggles make a great holiday gift for the skier and snowboarder.  Look for snow goggles that have a high quality and/or a polarized lens, dual lenses to avoid fogging, hydrophobic coating to wick away water, and a durable, yet flexible frame like the Oakley® Shaun White Signature Series A Frame® ($140).

Other top picks for the holidays include the Smith I/O Dayglo   ($165) that features interchangeable lenses for optimal performance in any environment and the VonZipper Chakra B4BC (Boarding for Breast Cancer) with removable ear muffs ($125).

Glare-busting Polarized Sunglasses –A quality choice whatever the sport

Polarized glasses block the sun's glare from light-sensitive eyes and provide a clearer view of terrain.  Whether your favorite sports lover enjoys the open road, a rocky trail, deep water or fluffy powder, this year's latest models are sure to please.  The Maui Jim® Lighthouse is a great unisex, multi-sport glass that is available in two unique lens colors, Gloss Black and Rootbeer ($149).

"We pride ourselves on knowing everything about the latest sunglass technology," said Kendra Reichenau, Senior Vice President of N3L Optics.  "These products will make excellent gifts for anyone looking to make a difference in the enjoyment of their sport or 3D movie experience."

These and other sunglass and goggle styles are available now online at www.n3loptics.com or at N3L retail locations in San Mateo, CA, Orlando, FL, Denver, CO, Phoenix, AZ, and in Dallas and El Paso, TX.
