info In 1980 Ray-Ban introduced the Ambermatic Mirror lens, described at the time as the, "...pre-eminent skiing lens.". (The plain Ambermatic All Weather lens had already been out a few years before this pair was made - here's an ad from 1978, which shows them in a Vagabond.) But the mirrored version were specifically for sports, our pair a double gradient mirror, better for water/ski sports. (See this pair with full mirror lenses in the 1980 ad, above.) Like Ray-Ban's Timberline from the same period, these are named after a well known US mountain ski resort - Powderhorn is in beautiful Colorado. Not a large pair so could suit sportsman or sportswoman. — klasik |
