Why this tint
A mirror is a coating on the outer face, so what other people see and what you see are two different things. From the front this one is red. From behind it is the base tint under the coating, which the listing does not state; under a red mirror that is usually a warm one, and a warm base separates greens and reds, the pattern that helps in patchy light under trees or over grass.
The mirror is cosmetic as much as functional; the tint underneath does the optical work. If that base is a warm one, as it usually is under a red coating, it separates greens and reds more than a neutral grey does, and that separation is what makes a ball easier to track against grass or a trail easier to read under trees. The demo shows the outside colour.

Questions, answered
Is the T01 Red polarised?
Yes, and it carries UV protection. Every pair in this range does; the tint in front of the filter is the only thing that changes between them.
What light is the T01 Red for?
Patchy light, cycling, ball sports. Red from the front. From behind, the base tint under the coating, which the listing does not state. Built for broken light.
What size is the T01 Red?
60▫15▫145: a 60mm lens, a 15mm bridge and 145mm temples, in a front measuring 140mm hinge to hinge, with a 50mm lens height. Those are the frame maker's published figures rather than ours, and the fit guide shows how to check them against your own face.
Is the mirror on the outside?
Yes. A mirror is a coating on the front face, so what other people see and what you see are different things. From behind it is a warm tint, not a mirror.
