Product Information
Full details
The 100% S3 Sunglasses are designed for serious cyclists and outdoor athletes who demand high-performance optics and a secure, comfortable fit. By merging the best elements of the Speedcraft and S2 models, these glasses deliver superior optical clarity and enhanced color contrast, making them an ideal choice for high-intensity training; however, their bold, frame-heavy aesthetic may feel bulky for users who prefer minimalist eyewear.

FAQs
Are the lenses interchangeable?
Yes, the S3 features a removable lens system, though it is designed to hold the lens securely in place for high-performance stability.
Do these provide full UV protection?
Yes, the lenses offer 100% UV protection against harmful UVA, UVB, and UVC rays.
Is the frame material durable?
The Grilamid TR90 material is selected specifically for its balance of flexibility and strength, making it highly resistant to cracking or shattering.
Can I wear these with a helmet?
Yes, the S3 is designed with a low-profile temple architecture that typically integrates well with most road and mountain bike helmets.
What is the primary difference between S3 and S2?
The S3 takes the upper frame design of the Speedcraft and combines it with the lens shape of the S2, providing more coverage and slightly better ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Lens fogging during use
Ensure the airflow vents in the nose clip are not obstructed by sweat or debris and adjust the glasses slightly further from your face to increase ventilation.
Glasses slipping during activity
Clean the Ultragrip rubber nose pads and temple tips with water to remove accumulated skin oils, which restores their natural tackiness.
Lens surface showing streaks
Use only a clean, dry microfibre cloth or a dedicated lens cleaning solution intended for high-performance optics to avoid damaging the specialized coatings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your S3 sunglasses, store them in the included microfibre cleaning bag when not in use. When cleaning, avoid using harsh chemicals or paper-based products which can scratch the lens coating. Instead, rinse with lukewarm water and a mild soap, then gently pat dry with the clean microfibre pouch. The frame is designed to fit a wide range of adult face shapes securely. While the temples are flexible, avoid over-stretching them to maintain the integrity of the Grilamid material over time. Keep the lenses away from abrasive surfaces to preserve the hydrophobic coating.
