Kaenon Polarized are pleased that Jan Sleigh will ride for Kaenon in the UK, joining a well respected group of international riders including Matt and Kevin Pritchard, Jason and Josh Stone and Rush Randle among others.
"Jan is a great windsurfer and a great ambassador for the sport. His passion for windsurfing, surfing and his desire to travel to the best wind and wave locations around the world seems to be endless," commented Graeme Russell of Kaenon UK.
Jan will be sporting Kaenon's Rhino frame on the beach. An oversize sport frame with plenty of street attitude, RhinoÔ is wrapped and raked to provide all the protection, performance and lightweight comfort of the award-winning KoreÔ style. Off the beach Jan's choice is the Jack frame, a handmade design featuring distinct styling and personifying Kaenon's soulful, California beach attitude.
"I'm delighted to be wearing Kaenon Polarized; the lenses really have amazing clarity and quality. Plus it's great that they look awesome." Said Jan after testing the glasses on recent trips to Mauritius and Maui.

Notes:
A new brand that began selling to a diversified retail network two years ago, Kaenon Polarized is the first polarized brand to create varying light transmission levels in polarization. By making their own polarized film, they have created a technology to allow for maximum polarizing efficiency in their Glare 86â polarizing element that allows for and controls the amount of light transmitting through the lens to the wearer's eye. This revolutionary technology is combined with three purpose-built lens tints developed by Kaenon, Grey, Copper and Yellow. Grey is a natural tint, Copper is color enhancing and they are available in 3 specific light transmission levels each, 12% the darkest, 28% a medium LTL and the lightest in Grey 40% and Copper 50%. Yellow is offered in one light transmission of 35%, a specific high-contrast combination of color enhancing lens tint and light transmission level.
Kaenon Polarized further enhances their superior optical lens technology by utilizing a new, revolutionary lens material called SR-91â to house the Glare 86 polarizing element. Together with Glare 86, Kaenon's exclusive and newly created SR-91 lens material is the foundation for the finest performance-polarized lens in the world. Not only does the Kaenon Polarized lens pass ANSI Z.87.1 for high mass impact, but COLTS Laboratories has passed the Kaenon Polarized product with an optical acuity and clarity rating of 40 in the Definition/ Resolving Power rating - the highest score that can be achieved in the Z.87.1 testing. SR-91 is neither polycarbonate, CR-39 nor glass. It is revolutionary.
