Will Simpson selects PILLA as eyewear of choice

2 yearss ago

Will Simpson, 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist, and member of PILLA High Performance Eyewear’s esteemed advisory board was one of only two starters to master the recent $100,000 CN Performance World Cup Grand Prix, winning in a dramatic, shortened jump off course.  Simpson attributes his victory, in part, to his usage of PILLA and names PILLA High Performance Eyewear as his eyewear of choice both on and off the course.

 

“The minute I put them on, I immediately noticed the enhanced visual acuity and clarity,” said Simpson.  “After 35 years of not using performance eyewear, I tried PILLA, and haven’t ridden without them since.”

 

PILLA High Performance Eyewear offers unparalleled clarity, color registration, 100% protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays, impact resistance and light management systems all crucial to performance in the equestrian sector.  While competitor glasses create a sensation of fog for riders, the patented process through which PILLA frames are made in Italy eliminates distortion of the lens, enhancing color and details without causing stress on the eye.

 

“PILLA lenses offer ultimate protection from the sun’s harmful rays, as well as from the wind, both of which directly affect a rider’s performance,” said Simpson.  “The all-day comfort coupled with the visual advantage they provide make PILLA a viable option for both sport and leisure.”

 

“I would like to congratulate Will for his outstanding win at the CN Performance World Cup Grand Prix,” said Philip Pilla, Chief Executive Officer of PILLA High Performance Eyewear.  “A substantial and growing number of professional athletes have turned to our performance eyewear for a distinct competitive advantage.  Our Italian hand-crafted frames, coupled with our new HDX Lens Technology, create a dynamic combination of frame technology and light management resulting in market leading performance,” stated Pilla.

 

“We are very excited about our entire line of PILLA High Performance Eyewear, which features more technological advancements than any other product in the industry,” said Pilla.  “Because our glasses are designed for athletes by athletes, the performance gain of PILLA glass is unmatched.”
