LAZER’S SUCCESS STORY

HISTORY

1919 Creation of the business.

Lazer’s success story Cycling is almost synonymous with Flanders.

The cobbled roads, tight turns and small towns the races take place on are what make it so great. It is here, in the heart of cycling and classic races, that Lazer comes to life.

In 1919 Henri Van Lerberghe won the Tour of Flanders by riding solo from start to finish.

Before entering the Velodrome in Gent, he stopped and had a few beers. Afterwards on the podium he encouraged the people to go home, because he was half a day in front of the peloton anyway.

In that same year Lazer was founded, and just like Henri, we are at the front of the race. Leading the industry in innovation, design, safety and technology.

When we started helmets were nothing like today. They were leather caps used by men riding steel bikes over the cobbled country roads of Belgium. The difference with the lightweight, adjustable, well ventilated and stylish helmets of today couldn’t be bigger.

We carried our heritage from then through the years to create the sophisticated products of today.

Our products are the result of almost 100 years of experience, passion and dedication. We are always trying to create the perfect blend of design, comfort, safety and technology.

Currently Lazer designs, manufactures and markets its bicycle, leisure, snow helmets and eyewear products in more than 50 countries, over 5 continents.

But we have never forgotten our roots, we still ride our products over cobbled farm roads and just like then, we strive to innovate, improve and create what we ourselves would want to use.

Lazer is passion, performance and the joy of riding.

1948 Development of the first bicycle helmet.

1980 Creation of the commercial name Lazer.

1987 First specific hard shell bicycle helmet developed in collaboration with Eddy Merckx.

2011 Creation of Lazer eyewear.

Tested & approved by professionals 2012 Innovation: Magneto, the first fully integrated helmet - eyewear solution. Lazer patented technology.

2016 Magneto 2 cobranded with Carl Zeiss lenses.

Over the years Lazer has teamed up with some of the greatest champions the world has ever seen to create some of the most progressive products ever used!

Paolo Bettini, Bart Wellens, Axel Merckx, Tom Boonen, Richard Virenque, Luc van Lierde, Dani King, Brian Lopes, André Greipel, Giorgia Bronzini... and many others represented, wore and appreciated Lazer products.

Today we continue the tradition of working with top athletes to create world class products.

The Lazer eyewear range is designed to deliver optimal performance and a perfect match with Lazer helmets.

Lightweight, adjustability, ventilation and comfort are just a few of the keywords that are stressed during design and testing. Hours of research, development and racing experience ultimately lead to glasses that are professional grade equipment and appreciated by many.

For the high-end top models in our range, Lazer cooperates with Carl Zeiss Vision Sunlens. As the ZEISS brand stands for total eyesight protection and visual excellence, every ZEISS sunless achieves premium optical performance, high material pureness and long-term durability.

Polarization The polarized lenses eliminate the diagonal rays of light that are caused by reflections on the water, windows of cars, wet roads etc. giving you a more sharp and clear sight.

These lenses are highly suitable for on the water, fishing or driving.

Optically decentered lenses Panoramic lens technology Lazer Sport eyewear offers panorama lenses that enhance and widen the field of clear vision by 20% to provide the wearer a sharper, clearer view as the eye moves from the center of the lens to the outer edge.

Optically decentered lenses to maintain supreme optical quality for extensively curved lenses.

Hard coating Hard coating to better protect your lenses from scratches.

Photochromic lenses These lenses adjust automatically to changing light conditions allowing one lens to be used throughout the day. The clear photochromic lens changes from 75% to 25% light transmission for overcast conditions and riding into the evening.

Melanin photochromic lenses Synthetic melanin developed with Essilor Sunlens is injected into the photochromic lens providing sun protection equivalent to 140 SPF sunscreen. These lenses also filter blue light to eliminate optical blurring and haziness.

Repellent coating The coating repels moisture, grease, dust and dirt giving you an easy to clean, low maintenance lens.

Anti-reflective coating Anti-reflective coating is applied to the inside of most Lazer lenses. This technology avoids annoying reflections from glare and bright light that often comes from all directions.

MagDoc

The MagClip is a clip that can adapt any helmet for use with our Magneto sunglass line. The clip, which is included with the purchase of the M1 and M3 mounts on the forward most strap of your helmet. The MagClip works with both the thin straps found on the Helium and Z1 and the thicker straps found on the rest of the Lazer Helmet line by way of an adaptor coin inserted in the rear of the clip.

The MagDoc mounts onto the helmet with 3M tape and is used as a docking station for the Magneto sunglasses while not in use.

The lenses of ARR are about 10 mm wider than a regular sports lens, resulting in better aerodynamic performances with a large field of vision and extra protection from the wind. Hence the name, Argon Race.

In each and every one of the designs ventilation plays an important part. Sometimes we use cut outs in the lens, sometimes ventilation is created by the way the frame is shaped and sometimes – as on AR2 – there’s a subtle cutout on the back of the frame.

Although we can’t see it, we are exposed to UV radiation daily, even in overcast weather.

And because snow reflects almost 80% of UV radiation, your overall exposure is nearly doubled when skiing, snowboarding, shoveling or playing in the snow. No day can be too cold or cloudy for these Frank’s we say!
