The Barry Sun belong to the Bold collection by Brett Eyewear, a line founded on the play of contrasts: thickness and finesse, audacity and elegance. The front face is entirely made of acetate, with a thickness of 5 to 10 mm that sculpts an assertive silhouette, immediately recognisable. The temples, on the contrary, are ultra-thin in stainless steel. A skilful play of volumes that underlines the character of the model, calibrated for those who like to play with the codes by pushing the limits of classic design.
The photochromic lenses constitute the major technical singularity of the Barry Sun. Unlike standard polarized lenses, photochromic lenses automatically darken in UV light and lighten indoors or in the shade. For the motorcyclist, this means a single pair adapted to all light conditions of a ride: full light on the highway, shade under forest canopies, tunnels, end of day. No more changing glasses, no more visual interruption during transitions.
The construction combines the best of both worlds in high-end eyewear: premium acetate for depth of colour, tactile warmth and stability over time, and 304 stainless steel for the temples, more corrosion-resistant than standard steels. The acetate thickness on the front brings an assumed visual presence, while the thinness of the stainless steel temples preserves comfort and lightness.
The defining feature of the Barry Sun for motorcyclists: the ultra-thin and flexible 304 stainless steel temples have been specifically designed to slip under a helmet without discomfort at the temples. No more painful pressure after a few kilometres, no more difficulty putting on or removing the helmet between two stops. A precious characteristic for long rides or daily motorcycle use, and one that distinguishes Brett from classic lifestyle eyewear brands.
Five colours are available depending on your build and wardrobe: Honey Tortoise / Silver for a timeless honey tortoiseshell signature, Black / Silver for total integration with dark builds, Grey / Silver for mineral elegance, Grey / Copper for a cool-warm contrast coherent with café racers, Honey / Silver for a warm amber tone. Each pair is delivered in its rigid protective case with microfibre pouch and original Brett craft packaging.

Discover Brett EyewearPhotochromic and polarized lenses serve two different technical functions. Photochromic lenses contain pigments that react to UV light: they automatically darken in full light and lighten indoors or in the shade, offering continuous adaptive protection. Polarized lenses incorporate a filter that eliminates reflections on flat surfaces (wet road, metal). For the Barry Sun, Brett chose photochromic technology, particularly suited to motorcycle rides that alternate light conditions (sunny highway, shaded forests, tunnels, end of day).
The adaptation of photochromic lenses is progressive and rapid. The transition from clear to dark takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute in full sunlight. The return to a clearer state is slightly longer, about 2 to 5 minutes depending on the outside temperature (the lenses lighten faster in warm weather). In motorcycle conditions with constant alternation, this adaptation happens naturally without bothersome visual interruption.
The Bold collection by Brett Eyewear is based on a strong stylistic choice: the contrast between thickness and finesse. The front face is in thick acetate (5 to 10 mm), creating an assertive visual presence and an immediately recognisable graphic character. Conversely, the temples are ultra-thin in stainless steel, which preserves lightness and comfort. This play of volumes is what defines the Bold signature: audacity and elegance, with no compromise on either.
Yes. Despite the thick acetate front, the 304 stainless steel temples are ultra-thin and flexible, specifically designed to slip under a helmet without creating pressure on the temples. This is the Brett signature: maintaining comfort under a helmet even on models with an assertive front. The Barry Sun slip easily under Hedon, Bell, Shoei helmets and most standard open-face or full-face helmets.
The Honey Tortoise / Silver offers a timeless honey tortoiseshell signature that matches all styles. The Black / Silver provides total integration with dark builds and assertive café racers. The Grey / Silver is mineral, elegant and discreet. The Grey / Copper combines cool and warm for a sophisticated contrast, particularly successful on neo-retro builds. The Honey / Silver offers a warm amber tone, lighter than honey tortoiseshell, ideal for bright builds or natural wardrobes.
The Barry Sun come in large format (lens size 55 mm). This format suits medium to wide faces and builds seeking an assertive visual presence. To check compatibility with your face, measure the width between your temples: if it is greater than 135 mm, the large format is suitable. The wider bridge (19 mm) is particularly suited to people with a prominent nose or marked spacing between the eyes. For a narrower face, Brett offers other models. The FCR Accessoires team can advise you in case of hesitation.
