Unfortunately not. They are for sale on the Shimano North America website, and I see them on the Shimano EU site, but not for sale. Best option might be to check the dealer locator and call around.

Thanks Jeremy! Looking at the Shimano website the Technium have water repellant coatings. The S-Phyre have oleophobic and cool magnetic lens retention. Technium lenses are on sale currently for $15. The older S-Phyre X glasses and lenses are on sale.

The press release was light on specifics regarding lens coatings, but it does say “scratch-resistant and water-repellent”. I had zero issues with fogging and my greasy fingerprints wiped off very easily, so I’m guessing yes, but that is unverified. On both lenses I tried, the inner lens is much less reflective than the outer, and I didn’t notice any harsh reflection, but again, I can’t confirm if there’s any anti-reflective coating.

Anti-fog, oleophobic or internal anti-reflection?

I guess when Shimano doesn’t sponsor high end athletes with a sunglass contract, they can make great sunglasses at a reasonable price.
