FAQs
What type of vision protection do these sunglasses offer?
The POC Aspire sunglasses provide UV400 protection, blocking 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. They also feature Clarity lens technology for enhanced visual definition and contrast.
Are the lenses interchangeable?
The product information does not explicitly state that the lenses are interchangeable. However, POC often designs its performance eyewear with this capability for different light conditions. Refer to specific product details or contact customer support for confirmation.
How do I clean the Ri-Pel coating?
The Ri-Pel coating is designed to make cleaning easier. Use a soft microfiber cloth. For tougher residue, rinse with lukewarm water and a tiny amount of mild soap, then dry with the cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can these sunglasses be worn with a helmet?
Yes, the POC Aspire sunglasses are specifically designed for compatibility with cycling helmets, featuring temple arms that integrate smoothly with helmet retention systems for maximum comfort and stability.
What is the frame made of?
The frame is constructed from lightweight, flexible, and durable Grilamid, a material predominantly derived from renewable resources.
Do these sunglasses come with a case?
Typically, performance sunglasses like the POC Aspire come with a protective case. Please check the product packaging or inquire with your retailer for confirmation.
What is the main benefit of Clarity lens technology?
Clarity lens technology, developed with Carl Zeiss Vision Sunlens, provides enhanced optical performance by offering superior vision, improved contrast, and true color representation across various light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses keep slipping down the nose.
Adjust the rubber nose bridge for a tighter fit. Ensure the temple arms are properly seated behind your ears and are not obstructed by your helmet straps.
Lenses are smudged or difficult to see through.
Clean the lenses using a microfiber cloth. If smudges persist, rinse with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, then dry with the microfiber cloth. Ensure the Ri-Pel coating is not compromised by harsh cleaning agents.
Frame feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Gently adjust the temple arms and nose bridge for a more relaxed fit. The Grilamid frame is flexible and designed to adapt to various head shapes.
Scratches on the lens.
Minor scratches may be unavoidable with use. For significant scratches that impair vision, consider replacing the lenses. The anti-scratch treatment offers resistance but is not indestructible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The POC Aspire sunglasses require minimal setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. You can adjust the nose bridge by gently bending the soft rubber pad to achieve a comfortable and secure fit against your face. The temple arms can also be slightly adjusted to ensure they rest comfortably behind your ears and do not interfere with helmet straps.
Compatibility:
These sunglasses are designed with cycling helmets in mind, featuring temple arms that are shaped to integrate smoothly with helmet retention systems. They are suitable for adult unisex wear and are engineered for a wide range of outdoor activities, particularly cycling, running, and general sports where clear vision and eye protection are paramount.
Care:
To maintain the optimal performance of your POC Aspire sunglasses, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning Lenses: Always use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to clean the lenses. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or abrasive materials, which can scratch the lens surface.
- Removing Dirt/Grime: For stubborn dirt, water, sweat, or oil, lightly rinse the lenses with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of mild, neutral soap if necessary, and then rinse thoroughly. Dry gently with the microfiber cloth.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sunglasses in the provided protective case to prevent scratches and damage.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use solvents, household cleaners, or acetone, as these can damage the lens coatings (including the anti-scratch and Ri-Pel treatments) and frame material.
