dôté OU équipé d'un verre en polycarbonate
Watch how you translate "lens" too! Since it has no optical effect, I don't believe you can sue "lentille", and I must confess I don't like the rather contradictory-sounding "verre en poloycarbonate", but I can't think how else it would be expressed?
Plenty of options for "featuring", of course; you might also like to consider variants of "proposer"...

Apologies for typo: "use" of course, not "sue"! :-(

All the refs. I have found on the 'Net talk about "verres" for diving masks, except for ones that are specifically correction lenses of the type used to correct vision when swimming

mettant en vedette des verres/un verre de polycarbonate
Tout dépendant du modèle les masques ont un ou deux verres. Je sais bien que le terme "mettant en vedette" est un peu fort, mais, quand on veut vendre, il n'y a rien de trop beau!

: Agree about "verres", but "featuring" here doesn't really have the sense of "mettre en vedette", it's really a different use of the word. / Nice pun for diving!

I know, I just thought that when they describe their products, some companies go a bit overboard...:)
