Meet The Badger—Næxon sunglasses designed for people who don’t spend their lives indoors.

Built with polarized lenses, 100% UV protection, shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses, a durable matte-black frame, adjustable nose pads, and flexible arms, The Badger combines everyday sunglasses styling with the rugged character expected from Næxon gear.

They’re designed for men and women who need sunglasses that can move between work and life without looking like bulky traditional safety eyewear.

Drive to the job.

Work outside.

Ride home.

Hit the trail.

Spend the weekend on the water.

One pair.

The Badger.

Sunglasses Built for Work & Life

Most people don’t live in one environment all day.

You might start the morning driving into work with the sun directly in your eyes.

Spend the afternoon outside around equipment and reflective surfaces.

Then leave the jobsite and head out on a motorcycle, bike, trail, or weekend trip.

The Badger was designed around that reality.

You get the benefits of polarized outdoor sunglasses combined with Z87-oriented protective construction in a clean matte-black design made for everyday wear.

Because eye protection is a lot easier to wear when you actually want to keep it on.

Polarized Lenses

Bright sunlight isn’t the only problem outdoors.

Glare can make visibility uncomfortable around roads, vehicles, water, metal surfaces, pavement, and other reflective environments.

The Badger uses polarized lenses designed to reduce glare, helping provide a clearer and more comfortable viewing experience outdoors.

Less glare can also mean less constant squinting when you’re spending hours in bright conditions.

Whether you’re driving, riding, hiking, working outside, or spending the day around water, polarized lenses help make bright environments easier on the eyes.

100% UV Protection

Your eyes deserve protection from more than visible brightness.

The Badger lenses provide 100% UV protection, helping shield the eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation during outdoor use.

That’s important whether you’re spending twelve hours outside on a jobsite or two hours driving on the weekend.

Sun exposure adds up.

Good sunglasses aren’t just about making the world darker.

They’re about protecting your eyes from the light you don’t see too.

Shatter-Resistant Polycarbonate Lenses

The Badger uses shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses designed for durability and everyday protection.

Polycarbonate is widely used in protective eyewear because it combines impact resistance with relatively lightweight construction.

That makes it a natural choice for sunglasses designed for active users.

Work.

Travel.

Riding.

Sports.

Outdoor life.

The Badger was made to go places.

Z87 Safety Sunglasses

The Badger is designed as Z87 safety eyewear, bringing a safety-focused construction into sunglasses that don’t look out of place away from work.

For industrial workers, tradespeople, and anyone working in environments where appropriate eye protection is required, that distinction matters.

Instead of switching immediately between bulky-looking safety glasses and everyday sunglasses, The Badger is designed to bridge the gap.

Work-ready character. Everyday styling.

Always verify that the specific eyewear markings and protection level meet the requirements of your employer, task, and applicable safety standard before using the glasses as occupational PPE.

Durable Matte-Black Frame

The Badger uses a matte-black frame built for a clean, understated look.

No unnecessary flash.

No oversized branding needed to make the glasses stand out.

The frame is designed to withstand the normal wear and tear associated with active everyday use while maintaining a lightweight feel.

Black works everywhere.

Jobsite.

Truck.

Motorcycle.

Trail.

Weekend.

Done.

Lightweight & Comfortable Fit

Protective eyewear doesn’t help when you’re constantly taking it off because it becomes uncomfortable.

The Badger was designed with long-term wear in mind.

Soft adjustable nose pads help customize the fit around the bridge of the nose, while flexible arms provide a secure feel around the head.

The lightweight construction helps reduce unnecessary pressure during extended wear.

Because after several hours, comfort stops being a luxury.

It becomes the reason the glasses stay on.

Designed for Men & Women

The Badger isn’t built around one type of wearer.

The clean matte-black frame and versatile shape are designed for both men and women, making it an easy choice for work, driving, sports, riding, travel, and everyday outdoor use.

One design.

One purpose.

Protect your eyes and keep moving.

Made for the Skilled Trades

The Badger fits naturally into the world Næxon was built around.

Welders.

Pipefitters.

Fabricators.

Ironworkers.

Millwrights.

Oilfield crews.

Refinery workers.

Industrial maintenance crews.

Construction workers.

People who spend a lot of time outside don’t need to be told how brutal bright sunlight can become over a long shift.

The Badger gives workers a polarized option designed around durability, comfort, and safety-focused construction.

From the Jobsite to the Truck

The shift ends.

Your need for sunglasses doesn’t.

That’s one of the biggest advantages of The Badger.

They’re designed to look like everyday sunglasses while maintaining the protective character expected from Næxon equipment.

Wear them outdoors where appropriate.

Keep them on for the drive home.

Stop somewhere after work without looking like you forgot to take off a piece of industrial equipment.

One pair from clock-in to wherever you’re going next.

Built for Driving

Road glare can make even a normal drive uncomfortable.

Sunlight reflecting from vehicles, pavement, windows, and other surfaces can create intense glare, especially during early morning and late afternoon driving.

The Badger’s polarized lenses are designed to reduce reflected glare and improve visual comfort in bright conditions.

Combined with 100% UV protection, that makes The Badger a practical option for workers spending long hours driving between jobsites or anyone who spends significant time on the road.

Built for Motorcycle Riding

Motorcycle riders need eyewear that stays comfortable and secure while dealing with sunlight and changing outdoor conditions.

The Badger’s lightweight frame, flexible arms, polycarbonate lenses, and polarized design make it a versatile option for appropriate riding conditions.

Always use motorcycle eye and face protection that complies with applicable laws and the requirements of your helmet and riding environment.

The Badger should never be substituted for required protective equipment when greater coverage or a specific rating is necessary.

Built for Cycling & Outdoor Sports

The Badger isn’t limited to the jobsite.

Its lightweight construction and polarized lenses make it useful for active outdoor lifestyles, including:

• Cycling
• Hiking
• Pickleball
• Walking
• Outdoor recreation
• Travel
• Appropriate motorcycle riding
• Everyday outdoor activities

When you’re moving, eyewear needs to stay comfortable.

That’s where the adjustable nose pads and flexible arms earn their place.

Næxon Expert Guide: Why Polarized Lenses?

Polarization and UV protection are related to different problems.

UV protection helps shield the eyes from ultraviolet radiation.

Polarization is primarily about controlling glare.

Light reflecting from relatively flat surfaces such as roads, water, vehicles, and metal can produce intense glare.

Polarized lenses filter much of this reflected light, making bright outdoor environments more comfortable to view.

That’s why polarized sunglasses are popular for driving, outdoor recreation, fishing, riding, and other activities where reflected glare is common.

With The Badger, you get polarized glare reduction plus 100% UV protection.

Why Polycarbonate?

Sunglass lenses can be made from several materials.

For The Badger, polycarbonate makes sense.

It provides a combination of impact resistance, low weight, and optical practicality that has made it widely used in protective eyewear.

For sunglasses designed to cross between active outdoor use and safety-focused applications, that combination matters.

You don’t want delicate eyewear.

You don’t want unnecessarily heavy eyewear.

You want glasses you can put on and forget about.

Comfort Matters More Than You Think

Safety glasses sitting on a shelf don’t protect anybody.

The same goes for sunglasses sitting in the truck because they’re uncomfortable.

The Badger’s design addresses that with a lightweight frame, adjustable nose pads, and flexible arms intended to create a comfortable, secure fit.

Those details might seem small.

After eight or twelve hours, they’re not.

Good eyewear should stay where it belongs without constantly reminding you that you’re wearing it.

The Badger After the Shift

Næxon builds around industrial workers.

But industrial workers have lives outside the gate.

You ride motorcycles.

Work on cars.

Fish.

Hike.

Travel.

Drive.

Spend weekends outdoors.

Play sports.

The Badger was designed to make sense in both worlds.

Rugged enough for an active lifestyle.

Clean enough for everyday wear.

Gift-Ready

Good gear makes a good gift—especially when the person receiving it can actually use it.

The Badger comes in gift-ready packaging, making it a practical choice for:

• Birthdays
• Father’s Day
• Mother’s Day
• Holidays
• Graduations
• Crew gifts
• Journeyman milestones
• Promotions
• Retirement
• Everyday gifts for outdoor enthusiasts

For the person who’s impossible to shop for, a good pair of sunglasses usually gets used.

Care & Maintenance

Keep the lenses clean to maintain clear vision.

Use a clean microfiber cloth and an appropriate lens-cleaning solution when necessary.

Avoid cleaning dry lenses with dirty shop rags, paper products, or abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.

Inspect the lenses and frame regularly for cracks, deep scratches, deformation, or other damage.

If The Badger is being used as safety eyewear, remove damaged eyewear from service when its condition could compromise protection.

Store the sunglasses in appropriate protective packaging when not in use.

Safety Information

The Badger should only be used as occupational eye protection when its markings and protection level satisfy the requirements of the specific task and workplace.

Z87 classifications can represent different levels and types of protection. Do not assume that eyewear is appropriate for every impact, splash, dust, welding, grinding, chemical, or industrial hazard simply because it carries a Z87 designation.

Always inspect protective eyewear before use.

Replace eyewear that is cracked, severely scratched, deformed, or otherwise damaged.

The Badger is not a welding filter lens and should never be used to view a welding arc.

Use the appropriate task-specific eye and face protection whenever required.
