The fixed nosepiece provides a clean appearance, although it does not offer the same adjustment as Tifosi’s dedicated performance frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight and Secure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thrive frame is made from a lightweight plant-based material designed to provide everyday durability without feeling heavy on your face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHydrophilic rubber nose pads become grippier as you perspire, helping the glasses remain stable during walks and other active use. Tifosi Glide earpieces slide on smoothly and provide a comfortable, low-bounce fit without catching your hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 25g, the Stella should remain comfortable through longer days without excessive pressure around the nose or temples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolycarbonate Lens Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses provide full UVA and UVB protection.

It works well for walking, travel, driving, running errands and relaxed outdoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is best treated as active lifestyle eyewear rather than a dedicated high-coverage cycling sunglass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Thoughts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stella is a good choice if you want something less technical-looking than a conventional sports frame but still appreciate a secure nosepiece and lightweight construction. It is easy to wear away from sport and the cat-eye shape gives it a little more character than the standard Swank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFit is the main detail to check. Tifosi rates the Stella as Small–Medium, but the shape may still feel broad on particularly narrow faces. Trying it on is worthwhile if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor lens choice, we would pick Brown Gradient for driving and general everyday wear, Brown for a consistent warm tint or Sky Blue Mirror for brighter conditions and a more colourful finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Buy from Chain Reaction?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelp choosing the right Tifosi frame and lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdvice on eyewear fit and intended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndependent Christchurch bike shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNationwide New Zealand delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOngoing support from our Christchurch team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tifosi Optics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stella\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cat-eye full frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant-based Thrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLens material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polycarbonate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLens protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shatter-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full UVA and UVB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose pads:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydrophilic rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEarpiece technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tifosi Glide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small–Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 25g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded accessory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Microfibre cleaning bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntended use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walking, travel, driving and everyday outdoor wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tifosi","offers":[{"title":"Tifosi Stella Sunglasses Crystal Champagne with Brown Gradient Lens","offer_id":46408996913348,"sku":"SUTF2030404379","price":74.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Tifosi Stella Sunglasses Blue Haze with Sky Blue Mirror Lens","offer_id":46408996946116,"sku":"SUTF2030408763","price":74.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Tifosi Stella Sunglasses Java Tortoise with Brown Lens","offer_id":46408996978884,"sku":"SUTF2030412171","price":74.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1566\/6131\/files\/4705af71b5f23014fc560a0f48beb824.jpg?v=1784273320","url":"https:\/\/www.chainreaction.co.nz\/products\/tifosi-stella","provider":"Chain Reaction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
