The Rex Specs range of eyewear are guaranteed tough. They have been designed to provide eye protection for active dogs and thoroughly tested in all conditions on the mountains of Wyoming USA.

Version 2 (V2) is the latest updated version of Rex Specs, incorporating years of experience and customer feedback. A sleeker, slimmer, better fitting product.

The optomised fit encorporates a change to the frame shape, allowing them to sit on your dogs face better and creating more room between the frame and your dogs eyes.

The logo has been removed from the lens and added to the frame, giving your dog more clarity.

The goggle is narrower and sticks of the forehead less, malking it less builky.

The curvature of the lens is greater. This, with the changed shape of the outer frame, allows better vision both horizontally and vertically.

Each pair of Rex Specs come with two lenses. One clear and one smoke. Other colours are available as replacement lenses. Lenses are NOT scratch resistant, so try taking the first lens out and letting your dog get used to wearing the frame without the lens.

• Rated UV400 to provide protection from UVA/UVB rays.
• Lenses are rated ANSI Z87.1-2010 for impact resistance.
• Polycarbonate lenses are interchangable
• Dynamic strap system enables full jaw movement.
• Made in the USA.

Rex Specs are now available in six sizes, six frame colours and nine (yes, nine) lens colour options. If we don't stock every option, we are happy to order them in for you.

Check out our size guide for the best fit.  While the weight category is a general guide, we recommend you measure your dog around the muzzle (between the eyes and the mouth) and the head (between the eyes and the ears).

The First Time
We supply two lenses with each pair of goggles, one clear, one smoke. We do this for a couple of reasons but the main one is the clear lense is great for training.

We actually recommend starting to train your dog to wear Rex Specs with no lenses in the goggles, as the lenses are NOT scratch resistant. This allows your dog to get used to the frames first. Then, we recommend moving onto the clear lens, and finally to the tinted lenses.

The clear lens is great because it offers the same UV and impact protection as the other lenses without changing your dogs’ perspective on the world. We’ve learned that introducing too much at one time (the goggle frames and tinted lenses) can be a lot of change all at once for your dog. Also, as your dog is becoming comfortable with Rex Specs, there is a good chance they will paw at, or scratch the lens – so using the clear lens during this learning process keeps your second lens in perfect condition.

Replacement parts
Whilst this product is extremely durable, they are not indestructible. Replacement lenses are available to keep your Rex Specs in perfect condition all year round.

Price includes GST.

FAQs

Do the clear lenses give the same UV protection as the tinted lenses ?

Yes they do. A way to describe our lenses is by their Visible Light Transmission (VLT). This is a measurement of how much light the lens allows to pass through to the eye. A low VLT allows very little light through, and a high VLT allows a lot of light to pass. This has been broken into 5 categories – they are listed below.

Category 0 - 80-100% VLT (lots of light passes through)

Category 1 - 46-79% VLT

Category 2 - 18-45% VLT

Category 3 - 8-17% VLT

Category 4 - 3-8% VLT (not much light passes through)

Clear lenses allow 92% of light through. Category 0

Yellow lenses allow 87% of light through. Category 0

Pink mirror lenses allow 37% of light through. Category 2

Purple mirror lenses allow 27% of light through. Category 2

Smoke lenses allow 24% of light through. Category 2

Red mirror lenses allow 23% of light through. Category 2

Green mirror lenses allow 16% of light through. Category 3

Blue mirror lenses allow 14% of light through. Category 3

Silver mirrorlenses allow 13% of light through - the most protection. Category 3

How do I tell the difference fom V1 and V2 Rex Specs?

V1 Rex Specs has their logo on the lens while V2 has the logo on the frame, just above the right eye.

Do dogs really need UV protection ?

Yes. There are a number of eye conditions caused or compounded by exposure to UV rays.
Ultra violet light is known to cause various types of damage to the eye such as chronic sunburn to the eyelid and surrounding area due to lack of pigment, Chronic Superficial Keratitis (pannus), Cataracts and sun spots. 

I have a 2 year old blind dog. Will she benefit from wearing Rex Specs ?

Dogs with poor or no sight are often bumping into things around the house. Rex Specs provide full protection to the eyes and surrounding face area. The polycarbonate material also protects against sticks, branches, debris and dust. 

Will they move about on her face as she runs ?

Adjusted properly, the Rex Specs are stable without restricting the dogs breathing or ability to pick up toys

 Why are Small Wide Rex Specs still a Version 1 option within the Version 2 category?

Rex Specs continue with the Small Wide fitting for all the Brachicephalic dogs. We have shifted this Version 1 option to Version 2 as it continues for these special dogs. Our Version 1 options are almost at an end, so you will find that we have moved these and the replacement lenses to Version 2.
