FAQs

Are the POC Aspire sunglasses suitable for all face shapes?

The sunglasses feature an adjustable nose pad and flexible temples, offering a good degree of adjustability for various face shapes. However, due to the one-size nature, individual fit may vary. Trying them on is recommended if possible.

How do I choose the right Clarity lens for my needs?

POC offers various Clarity lenses optimized for different conditions. For bright, sunny days and road cycling, Clarity Road is recommended. For mixed or low light, other specialized lenses may offer better performance. Refer to the product's lens guide for detailed recommendations.

Can I replace the lenses on the POC Aspire sunglasses?

Yes, the POC Aspire sunglasses are designed to allow for lens interchangeability. You can purchase and swap different Clarity lenses to suit varying light conditions or preferences.

What does the Ri-Pel coating do?

The Ri-Pel coating is a hydrophobic and oleophobic treatment that repels water, sweat, salt, oil, and dust. This makes the lenses easier to clean and helps maintain clear vision by preventing smudges from adhering.

Are these sunglasses good for sports other than cycling?

While optimized for cycling, the secure fit, UV protection, and durable design make them suitable for other outdoor activities like running, hiking, or general sports where eye protection and clear vision are important.

What is the frame made of?

The frame is constructed from Bio-Grilamid, a lightweight, strong, and durable material primarily derived from renewable resources.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slide down the nose.

Adjust the rubber nose pad by gently bending it inward or outward to achieve a more secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the temples are also properly positioned.

Vision is not optimal in current lighting conditions.

Consider if the currently installed Clarity lens is suitable for the conditions. Different Clarity lenses are optimized for various light levels and environments. Consult the lens guide for appropriate selection.

Lenses are smudged or difficult to clean.

Use a soft, microfiber cleaning cloth. For stubborn smudges, rinse the lenses with lukewarm water and a tiny amount of mild soap, then dry gently with the microfiber cloth. Do not use abrasive materials.

Sunglasses interfere with helmet fit.

Ensure the sunglasses are positioned correctly on your nose and temples before putting on your helmet. Some helmets may have specific channels or shapes that require minor adjustment of the sunglasses' temple arms for a flush fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent comfort and secure fit, even with helmets.
  • Durable and lightweight frame made from sustainable materials.
  • Effective protection against UV rays, dirt, water, and scratches.
  • Adjustable nose pad for a personalized fit.
  • Easy to clean due to Ri-Pel coating.

Cons

  • Lens clarity and performance can vary significantly between different Clarity lens options.
  • May require trial with different lens types to achieve optimal visual experience for specific conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The POC Aspire sunglasses are designed for immediate use. Ensure the nose pad is adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit by gently bending it. If the temples feel too tight or loose, they can be adjusted slightly to conform to your head shape.

Compatibility: These sunglasses are designed to be compatible with most cycling helmets, ensuring no interference or discomfort when worn together. They are suitable for adult riders and come in a unisex design.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your sunglasses:

  1. Cleaning: Use the provided microfiber cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the lenses. For tougher grime, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing and gentle drying.
  2. Coating Maintenance: Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or paper towels, as these can damage the Ri-Pel and scratch-resistant coatings.
  3. Storage: Store the sunglasses in their protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
