Versport Expands Its Sports Protective Eyewear Collection with the Launch of ARES VX99 and New Colourways for Its Iconic Models

Demonstrating its ongoing commitment to sports eye protection, WestGroupe expands its Versport collection with innovative high-performance eyewear for athletes. Every year, thousands of athletes suffer eye injuries while playing sports, many of these injuries could be prevented by wearing appropriate protective eyewear. Driven by this purpose, Versport has developed a complete range of prescription sports eyewear designed to deliver maximum safety without compromising comfort, performance, or style.

This season, Versport expands its lineup with ARES VX99, a new frame created for athletes seeking the ideal balance of protection, comfort, and performance. The brand also unveils new colourways for two of its most popular models: ZEUS DTS VX98 and TROY VX95/VX96.

ARES VX99: Maximum Protection for Peak Performance 

ARES VX99 has been engineered to provide the ideal combination of protection, stability, and comfort, making it the perfect choice for impact sports such as soccer, basketball, tennis, padel, volleyball, hockey, squash, and handball, among many others.

Like every model in the Versport collection, ARES VX99 complies with the EN166:2001 European standard, has successfully passed the demanding ASTM F803 impact tests, and meets the requirements of the leading international sports federations, ensuring eye protection that satisfies the highest industry standards.

 The new frame incorporates all the proprietary technologies that define the Versport range:

  • QTEM (Quick Twist Exchange Mechanism): patented quick temple replacement system.

  • +HEIGHT = +PROTECTION: a deeper eye shape that increases eye coverage while also allowing easier fitting of progressive lenses.

  • Security Bevel Edge: a reinforced safety bevel designed to help prevent the lens from being dislodged and contacting the eye socket during a severe impact.

  • Dualock: patented dual-lock lens retention system that provides maximum mounting security.

  • antiSHOCK & AIRflow: specially designed nose pads that absorb impacts, maximize comfort, and improve ventilation to minimize lens fogging.

  • FlexFit: highly flexible temples that enhance comfort, fit, and durability.

  • Soft Comfort: dual-material temple technology that provides superior elasticity, grip, and all-day comfort.

  • Impact RX & Endur RX: high-performance polymer materials that deliver outstanding impact resistance, flexibility, and durability.

To guarantee maximum protection and maintain all safety certifications, ARES VX99 must be fitted exclusively with Polycarbonate or Trivex lenses.

Performance Meets Design 

Protection no longer has to come at the expense of style. Recognizing that aesthetics is increasingly important to athletes, Versport also introduces new finishes for two of its best-known models:

  • ZEUS DTS VX98, now offered in Matte Navy Lime featuring lime temple tips.

  • TROY VX95/VX96, presented in Matte Pearl Navy Green featuring green temple tips.

These new colour combinations provide a more contemporary and dynamic appearance while maintaining the same technical performance that has made these frames trusted solutions for sports eye protection.
