FAQs

What type of light conditions are the Clarity Road Sunny Silver Cat 3 lenses best suited for?

These lenses are specifically designed for bright, sunny riding conditions. They offer excellent protection and visual enhancement when the sun is strong.

Are these sunglasses suitable for all outdoor activities?

While optimized for cycling, their clarity and protection make them suitable for other bright-light outdoor activities. However, the cycling-specific design ensures peak performance for road riding.

How do I clean the lenses without damaging them?

Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For tougher grime, a mild lens cleaner can be applied, followed by wiping with the cloth. Never use paper towels or rough fabrics.

What is the UV protection rating?

The POC Aspire sunglasses provide UV400 protection, blocking all harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Can the nose piece be adjusted?

Yes, the rubber nose piece is designed to help keep the glasses secure. Gentle adjustment can be made for a personalized fit, and it is designed to maintain grip even when wet.

What is the frame material?

The frame is constructed from lightweight Grilamid, known for its balance of flexibility and durability.

Do these sunglasses come with a case?

Typically, performance eyewear like the POC Aspire sunglasses are provided with a protective case to ensure safe storage and transport.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses keep slipping down the nose.

Ensure the rubber nose piece is clean and dry. If the issue persists, consider if a more customized fit is needed, though these are designed for stability.

Lenses are fogging up during rides.

Ensure proper ventilation. While designed for airflow, heavy exertion in humid conditions can cause fogging. Cleaning the lenses may help remove residues that attract moisture.

Visible distortion when looking through the lenses.

This can occur if the frame is bent or if the lenses are not seated correctly. Gently check the frame alignment and ensure the lenses are securely fitted. Contact customer support if distortion persists.

Scratches on the lenses.

The lenses have an anti-scratch treatment, but deep scratches can still occur. Avoid placing the glasses lens-down and always use a protective case for storage. Deep scratches may require lens replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The POC Aspire Sunglasses require no complex setup. They are designed to be worn immediately out of the box. The adjustable nose bridge (if applicable and integrated into the design) can be gently bent to achieve a personalized fit.

Compatibility: These sunglasses are designed with cyclists in mind and are compatible with most cycling helmets, ensuring a comfortable fit without interference. The versatile styling also means they pair well with casual attire.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to clean the lenses. For stubborn dirt or smudges, a mild lens cleaning solution can be used. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens coating.
  2. Frame Care: Wipe the Grilamid frame with a damp cloth. Avoid leaving the sunglasses in direct sunlight or high heat for extended periods, as this can warp the frame.
  3. Storage: Store the sunglasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
