Double Bridge

Explore our export-ready bulk aviator sunglasses inventory featuring double-bridge metal designs, shatterproof polarized TAC optics, skin-safe anti-nickel electroplating, and custom branding tailored to commercial distribution across Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Eilat.
Entering the Israeli eyewear retail environment requires rigorous alignment with national standards overseen by the Standards Institution of Israel (SII) and European harmonization directives. Here is how our production lines ensure zero customs rejections at Ben Gurion Air Cargo, Haifa, and Ashdod ports.
Under Israeli Mandatory Standard SI 282 (sunglasses for general use), our pilot aviator frames undergo strict luminous transmittance verification. All filter categories (Cat. 2 for urban overcast to Cat. 3 for intense Levant sunshine) meet spectrophotometer tolerances, eliminating blue-light scatter while maintaining high visual clarity.
Given Israel's high average humidity and temperatures along the Mediterranean coastline, direct skin contact with poor alloy frames leads to rapid nickel leaching and allergic contact dermatitis. Our aviator temples and dual bridges undergo vacuum ion-plating (IP) with a certified nickel release threshold well below 0.5 μg/cm²/week.
Every bulk shipment includes complete CE DoC documentation under PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425, comprehensive batch test reports from ILAC-accredited laboratories, Hebrew-compliant warning leaflets, and batch-traceable laser engravings along the inner temple arms for seamless SII fast-track clearance.
The State of Israel presents unique environmental and cultural demographics: over 300 annual sunny days, intense coastal glare, rigorous military duty aesthetics, and a sophisticated urban consumer base seeking a blend of durability and Mediterranean style.
Along Rothschild Boulevard, Dizengoff Street, and the Gordon Beach strip, sunglasses represent high-frequency fashion staples. Consumers demand ultra-lightweight stainless steel double-bridge frames paired with gradient UV400 lenses that transition effortlessly from bright outdoor glare to shaded café environments.
The Southern District and Red Sea resort zone record extreme UV Index values reaching 11+ during summer months. Retail opticians and sporting distributors require specialized 1.1mm Tri-Acetate Cellulose (TAC) polarized lenses with internal anti-reflective (AR) back-coatings to prevent peripheral solar bounce-back.
Israel's extensive cross-country highway routes (Trans-Israel Highway, Route 1 connecting Tel Aviv to Jerusalem) present blinding asphalt reflections during morning and dusk hours. Commercial driving aviators with teardrop coverage block horizontal light spikes, reducing driver ocular fatigue significantly.
Supplying institutional retailers like Super-Pharm, Good Pharm, and regional optometric practices requires high-volume turnarounds, standardized retail packaging, barcoded blister packaging, and optical labs readiness where frames can be easily de-glazed and fitted with Rx prescription lenses.
Optical buyers in Israel are shifting from unbranded generic lines toward high-performance materials and verifiable sustainable manufacturing practices. Understanding these market dynamics enables higher sell-through rates and maximized retail margins.
Due to the proximity of major population hubs to Mediterranean saline coastal air, standard budget zinc-alloy electroplating degrades within months. B2B buyers now prioritize German-engineered PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coatings and surgical 316L stainless steel that withstand high salt-spray tests without corrosion.
From oversized teardrop shield profiles to geometric square aviators, retro silhouettes dominate social-first retail marketing in Israel. Wholesale demand has surged for thick acetate-rimmed aviator hybrids and distinctive dual-bridge titanium architectures that appeal to demographic cohorts aged 20-45.
Israeli retailers are actively incorporating ESG criteria into their vendor matrices. Offering eco-friendly bio-acetate frames made from renewable cotton linters and recycled metals allows institutional distributors to meet stringent green procurement requirements set by corporate retail networks.
Instead of carrying monopolized international designer marques with tight margins, independent Israeli eyewear boutiques create their own direct-to-consumer labels. Our flexible private label service provides laser logo engraving, custom printed microfiber pouches, and bespoke hard cases starting at 300 units.
While European non-polarized Category 3 lenses are acceptable in milder climates, Israeli end-users consider polarization mandatory for beach outings, outdoor sports, and high-glare Mediterranean waters. More than 78% of aviator bulk purchase orders in our Israeli export division now specify polarized TAC or Polycarbonate lenses.
Supply chain security is vital for Israeli optical chains. Importers favor manufacturers with unified B2B portals, live inventory visibility, and guaranteed multi-season replenishment for hero SKUs like classic 58mm teardrops and unisex matte black pilots.
Rooted in decades of optical excellence, our export operations bridge precision precision eyewear manufacturing with deep international distribution expertise. Having established a vast catalog of over 400 specialized optical and sunglass designs, we serve as an agile manufacturing partner for importers, independent opticians, and large optical franchises across Israel.
