New Zealand’s sunshine isn’t just bright—it’s powerful. Due to seasonal thinning of the ozone layer over the Southern Hemisphere, New Zealand experiences some of the highest UV levels in the world. This “ozone hole” doesn’t mean a literal gap, but a significant reduction in ozone protection, especially during spring and summer. As a result, UV rays here are more intense and can damage your eyes faster than in many other countries.
That’s why high-quality sunglasses with UV400 protection are not just a fashion statement—they’re a daily essential. At URBA VISTA, all our sunglasses are designed to block 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, helping you stay safe under the strong New Zealand sun.
