Our take on the X Series - Blackout Polarized UNDERCOVER
The Shady Rays X Series Blackout Polarized UNDERCOVER is a sport wrap-around sunglass built for high-speed, high-impact use. It is the same frame and lens as the standard X Series Blackout Polarized, with black printed logos on the temples instead of white. The polarized polycarbonate lenses have a warm grey tint, 9% VLT and full UV protection, and the matte black frame is made to hold its grip when you sweat. It suits runners, hikers, climbers and water-sports users who want a low-key all-black look, and it sits alongside rivals like Oakley and Goodr on lens clarity and grip rather than on premium frame materials.

- How is the UNDERCOVER different from the standard X Series Blackout Polarized?
- Only the temple logos differ. The UNDERCOVER has black printed logos instead of the classic white ones, with the same frame and lenses.

- Yes. The lenses give 100% UV protection and are shatter-resistant and salt water resistant.
- What comes in the box?
- The sunglasses, a microfiber cleansing pouch and a vinyl brand decal.
