Zoff Launches "Galileo S01 K," a Kids' Model of the All-Rubber "Galileo" Glasses, Easy to Match Regardless of Scene or Fashion

Zoff, an eyewear brand operated by Intermestic Inc., is launching "Galileo S01 K," a kids' model from its "Galileo" series of all-rubber glasses that use no metal. "Galileo S01 K" is eyewear with the unique strength of the "Galileo" series, despite its slim structure and simple design. It is designed for active children, featuring colorful variations not found in the adult "Galileo S01" and a thicker hinge section. The strength of the "Galileo" series has been proven by testing institutions. In heat resistance tests, there was no change in color or shape, nor any embrittlement, even after being exposed to 120°C for one hour. Furthermore, when immersed in 77% ethanol solution for 24 hours, no stickiness, deformation, or deterioration occurred in the frame. In a compression test where the frame was pressed, the lenses detached during compression, but it was demonstrated that the lenses could be manually reinserted and worn again. Regarding "Galileo lenses," no damage was confirmed even when a steel ball weighing approximately 1kg was dropped from a height of 1m. According to a Zoff survey, 47% of parents with children who wear glasses responded that they "have experienced their child's glasses breaking"*. This result highlights the reality that glasses breaking is not uncommon in the daily lives of active children. Therefore, choosing durable glasses not only supports children's ability to play safely every day but also reduces the burden of replacement and repair for parents, leading to the tangible value of "long-lasting and safe to use." *From the release "" distributed on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. ■ Product Overview Product Name｜"Galileo S01 K" Types｜3 styles, 3 colors, 9 variations Price｜¥11,100 (including set lenses) Release Date｜Friday, May 8, 2026 Retailers｜All Zoff stores nationwide (including outlet stores), Zoff official online store Special Page｜https://www.zoff.co.jp/shop/contents/zoff-kids.aspx ■ Product Details Frame: ZA261025 (Boston) [3 colors] ¥11,100 M size ZA261025_43F1 ZA261025_43F2 ZA261025_43F3 Frame: ZA261026 (Square) [3 colors] ¥11,100 M size ZA261026_14F1 ZA261026_64F1 ZA261026_72F2 Frame: ZA261027 (Square) [3 colors] ¥11,100 L size ZA261027_14F1 ZA261027_64F1 ZA261027_72F2 ▼Comes with a dedicated Galileo case A dedicated case that fits the shape of Galileo is included. *To maintain fit, please store in the dedicated case when not in use.

The "Galileo lens" has been developed to be extremely shatter-resistant, scratch-resistant, and stain-resistant. This lens improves upon the disadvantage of polycarbonate lenses, which are prone to scratches. What are polycarbonate lenses? These are spectacle lenses made from "polycarbonate," a plastic material with excellent impact resistance. It is a highly strong material used in bulletproof glass, aircraft windows, and helmets, with its greatest feature being its resistance to breakage. ■ Verification Test Results ① Heat Resistance Test Galileo S01 after 120°C heat resistance test No change in color or shape, and no embrittlement, even after being exposed to 120°C for one hour. ② Steel Ball Drop Test (Galileo lens) Galileo lens after a steel ball weighing approximately 1kg was dropped from a height of 1m Test content: Confirming lens strength by dropping a steel ball weighing approximately 1kg from heights ranging from 10cm to 1m. Test result: While general lenses (plastic lenses) broke when dropped from a height of 20cm, Galileo lenses did not break even when the same steel ball was dropped from a height of 1m. ③ Torsion Test In a test to determine the ultimate strength by twisting the joint between the front and temples (near the hinge), general glasses (plastic frames) fractured at a rotation angle of 360°, whereas Galileo G01 fractured at 2520° and Galileo S01 at 1440°.
