Frame Technology
DSRT frames are engineered for durability, comfort, and performance in demanding environments. The materials and construction methods used in our frames are selected to balance strength, flexibility, and long-term comfort while minimizing environmental impact.
FRAME MATERIALS
What Is TR90 Bio Resin
What it is
TR90 is a high-performance thermoplastic material widely used in athletic and performance eyewear. DSRT frames use a bio-based version of TR90 made partially from castor bean oil rather than traditional petroleum-based plastics.
Why it matters
TR90 frames are lightweight, flexible, and highly durable. This flexibility allows the frame to absorb stress without cracking or breaking, making it well suited for active environments.
Because the material is lightweight, TR90 frames remain comfortable even during long periods of wear.
Environmental benefit
The bio-resin used in DSRT frames replaces a portion of traditional petroleum-based plastics with plant-based material derived from castor beans. This reduces reliance on fossil fuel-based plastics while maintaining the performance characteristics required for athletic eyewear.

What Is BIO G850HI
What it is
BIO G850HI is a high-strength bio-based performance polymer used in protective eyewear. This material provides greater structural strength and rigidity than typical performance frame materials.
Why it matters
Safety-rated eyewear requires frame materials that can securely hold lenses in place during impact. BIO G850HI provides the strength necessary to meet safety certification standards while still maintaining lightweight performance.
Environmental benefit
Like the TR90 bio-resin used in other DSRT models, BIO G850HI incorporates plant-based components that reduce reliance on petroleum-derived plastics.

Why Different Models Use Different Materials
Performance vs protection
Different frame materials are selected based on the intended use of the eyewear.
TR90 bio-resin provides excellent flexibility, lightweight comfort, and durability for everyday athletic use. This makes it ideal for performance-focused sunglasses designed for training, outdoor activity, and daily wear.
BIO G850HI is used in situations where higher structural strength is required. This allows the frame to meet safety certification standards while maintaining durability in demanding environments.
By selecting the appropriate material for each design, DSRT frames balance performance, comfort, and protection across different models.
PERFORMANCE DESIGN
Why Flexible Frames Matter
Impact resistance
Flexible frame materials help absorb energy during impacts or sudden stress. Instead of cracking or snapping, the frame can flex and return to its original shape.
This improves durability and helps the sunglasses withstand demanding environments.
Comfort during movement
Flexible materials also improve comfort by allowing the frame to adapt slightly to different head shapes and movements. This helps maintain a secure fit during physical activity.
How Frame Design Improves Fit and Stability
Secure fit
DSRT frames are designed with an athletic fit that helps keep the sunglasses stable during movement. This reduces bouncing or shifting during activities such as running, training, or hiking.
No-slip grip
Grip areas on the frame help prevent slipping when exposed to sweat or moisture. This helps maintain a consistent fit during high-intensity activity.
Wraparound protection
Some DSRT models use wraparound frame designs that provide additional coverage and help block peripheral light. This improves protection and visual comfort in bright environments.
SUSTAINABILITY
How DSRT Frames Reduce Environmental Impact
DSRT frames use bio-based performance polymers that incorporate plant-derived materials such as castor bean oil. These materials reduce reliance on traditional petroleum-based plastics while maintaining the durability and flexibility required for performance eyewear.
By using bio-resin materials where possible, DSRT frames balance performance, durability, and environmental responsibility.
