With a body designed entirely by curves, Vader is an alluring top of the line, UV420 grade single-lens mask. VADER has remained a favorite amongst skin and scuba divers.Its maticulously engineered curled lip, soft damper skirt is designed to relieve pressure for unmatched comfort.
Less than 400nm of ultraviolet rays of UV-A are cut 98%.Cutting near infrared rays helps preserve the composition of lutein.

The UV420 CUT lens is able to block harmful HEV (high-energy visible light in the 400 to 420 nm spectrum) which causes oxidative stress and deterioration of *lutein in your eye. Lutein is said to act as natural sunglasses. It is present as a pigment in the retina, a crucial part of the eye that receives light and allows you to see. The UV420 lens prevents cumulative macular degeneration by blocking harmful light and has an anti-oxidant effect. Lutein is destroyed when it absorbs harmful light. Its presence in the retina is limited and, because the body cannot make lutein, it can only be replaced by eating lutein-rich food.
Lighting can alter the appearance of a tunnel. Orange light make objects more visible by increasing the contrast of its shadowed edges. White light increases overall visibility by generally illuminating everything brighter. As in the orange-lit tunnel, our previous UV400 Amber lens increases contrast, while the UV420 CUT lens provides a brighter visual such as with white LED light.
Light tends to cause oxidative stress and lutein (pigment) deterioration.
Eye Behind a UV420 CUT Lens
Protection of lutein reduces oxidative stress:less pigment deterioration.

Low volume further improves the excellent arc of vision you get with the single-lens design. Enjoy a wide view that’s great for any form of diving.
*2 Measured using Gull standard procedures
The benefit of a lens undivided by a center frame is the overlapping of the arcs of vision of the right and left eyes. You get a bright, broad field of view and less feeling of restriction. Made for high performance in diving situations where field of view is crucial.
