Product Information

Full details

The POC Elicit Toric Sunglasses are designed for adult cyclists seeking high-performance eyewear that maximizes clarity, comfort, and protection. Their key benefit lies in the toric lens technology combined with a frameless design, offering an exceptionally wide and unobstructed field of vision. A potential caveat is that the close-fitting design, while reducing airflow, might not be ideal for all face shapes in very hot conditions.

FAQs

Are the lenses interchangeable?

The Elicit Toric features a frameless design. While specific models may offer interchangeable lenses, check the product details for this variant to confirm. Typically, this design prioritizes a fixed, optimized lens.

How do I clean the sunglasses properly?

Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For tougher grime, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and gentle drying with the cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What is the primary benefit of the toric lens shape?

The toric lens shape is designed to contour closer to the face, significantly reducing the amount of airflow that reaches the eyes, thereby offering better protection from wind and debris while improving comfort.

Are these suitable for use in bright sunlight?

Yes, the Clarity lens technology is engineered to enhance contrast and definition, which is highly beneficial in bright conditions for improved vision and reduced glare. The specific tint optimizes performance for road cycling.

What does 'frameless construction' offer?

The frameless construction maximizes the field of view, providing an unobstructed peripheral vision essential for cycling safety and performance, while also contributing to a lighter overall weight.

Can I wear these with a helmet?

Yes, these sunglasses are designed to be compatible with most cycling helmets, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit together.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down the nose.

Adjust the temple arms for a snugger fit. Ensure the nose bridge area is clean and dry, as oil can reduce grip.

Lenses fog up during intense efforts or in humid conditions.

Ensure the sunglasses are positioned correctly to allow for some airflow. Consider specific anti-fog solutions designed for eyewear, or temporarily adjust them away from the face during extreme exertion.

Difficulty seeing detail in low-light conditions.

While the Clarity lens is designed for road focus, extremely low light may require a different lens tint or a swap to a clearer lens if interchangeable options are available for this model.

Scratches on the lens.

Inspect the lens for any damage. Minor surface scratches may not significantly impact vision, but deep scratches may require lens replacement. Consult the manufacturer's guidelines for replacement parts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent, wide field of vision due to the frameless design.
  • Enhanced clarity and contrast for better road detail recognition.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear during cycling.
  • Effective reduction of airflow to the eyes, protecting from wind and debris.
  • Durable and flexible temple arms for a secure fit.

Cons

  • The close-fitting design might cause fogging in very humid or low-speed conditions for some users.
  • Frameless design might be less impact-resistant than fully framed alternatives.
  • Specific lens tint might not be ideal for all lighting conditions without interchangeable lenses.
  • High-performance focus means less suitability for casual, non-athletic use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sunglasses require no assembly. Simply adjust the temples for a comfortable and secure fit on your head.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for adult cyclists. The unisex design fits a wide range of head shapes. While optimized for road cycling, they can be used for other outdoor sports where eye protection and clear vision are needed.

Care: To maintain optimal lens performance and longevity:

  • Clean lenses regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Microfiber cloths are ideal.
  • Use a mild soap and water solution for stubborn smudges. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, which can damage lens coatings.
  • Store sunglasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches.
