THE HISTORY
Dragons have traditionally throughout time been symbols of chaos, strength, prosperity and individuality. The Dragon symbolizes youth defining their own path and the complexities of their journey for independence. Our mission is to design and develop a unique brand and products that help today’s youth define their own path.
Dragon began in Southern California in 1993 with the belief that it can be done better while staying true to the core customer. With that plan and direction in mind, the Dragon was formed. Drawing influences from the dark mysto side of its team riders, art, music and street culture, Dragon products are designed to compliment our customer’s lifestyles. Dragon is committed to staying true to our core roots and developing products that reflect that. Dragon is currently distributed all over the globe and can be found at the finest retailers worldwide. For more information on Dragon, Dragon products and updated news and events go to dragonalliance.com.
THE BRAND
Because we market through the core lifestyles of action sports, art, music and street culture, Dragon is one of the few brands that have a massive cross over consumer appeal. This gives Dragon the advantage by not being confined to only one category and allows us to target the independent customer who is fringe and authentic. Because of this deeply rooted relationship with our customer, Dragon has a solid core following worldwide.
Dragon’s customers are unique and lifestyle driven, and they demand a unique brand and products that compliment that. Dragon’s sole mission is to develop products that create a lifestyle partnership with our customers through Sunglasses, Snowboard and MX Goggles and apparel and accessories.
Technical Points
• Base Curve: the overall curvature of the lens, dragon uses 6 base or 8,75 base curved lens.

• Polarized: Three pieced lens system designed to prevent glare transmission.
Lenses
Dragon's polycarbonate lenses are not only optically true, they block just about anything you can throw at them, including 100% of all harmful UV and Blue Light. All Dragon products are available in polycarbonate lenses only. This provides light-weight comfort and safety for the wearer from impact or Shattering. Our lenses are available in a variety of lens tints and values, giving the wearer the ability to choose the light transmission that best suits them without compromising color rendition or composition.
Frames
All Dragon frames are made from the highest-grade materials known to man. From Nylon to Acetate, and from hardened steel to polyurethane, our frame materials unite in perfect balance to provide ultimate strength and flexibility.
Polarized
Light waves from the sun vibrate and radiate outward in all directions. Whether the light is transmitted, reflected, scattered or refracted, when its vibrations are aligned into one or more planes of direction, the light is said to be polarized. The Dragon polycarbonate polarized lens is designed to enhance and sharpen objects and to saturate natural color rendition. This is achieved by screening out direct light and eliminating polarized light from your surroundings, thus allowing your eyes to dilate and view objects and colors more richly and clearly without being too dark.
Rx Adaptability
All Dragon sunglasses are designed to be optically “true” and prescription adaptable. When corrective lenses are necessary, Dragon's frame designs and technology gives you a safe, lightweight corrective
alternative.
