Product Information
Full details
The POC Aspire glasses are designed for adult cyclists seeking enhanced vision and comfort across road, MTB, and urban environments. Their key benefit lies in Clarity technology lenses that improve contrast and color definition, ensuring clear sightlines. A potential caveat is that while the frame is durable, extreme impacts could still cause damage, though snap-in hinges offer some protection. Key features include a lightweight, durable grilamid frame, Carl Zeiss Vision Sunlens Clarity lenses, full UVA/UVB protection, anti-scratch treatment, and adjustable nose/temple pieces with hydrophilic rubber for a secure fit.

FAQs
What type of lenses do the POC Aspire glasses use?
They use Clarity technology lenses developed with Carl Zeiss Vision Sunlens, designed to enhance contrast and color definition.
Are these glasses suitable for sports other than cycling?
While optimized for cycling (road, MTB, urban), their protective features and clear vision may also be beneficial for other outdoor activities where eye protection and visibility are important.
How do the snap-in hinges work?
The hinges are designed to detach from the frame in the event of a fall. This feature helps to reduce the risk of damage to the glasses and potentially the wearer.
What level of UV protection do they offer?
The glasses provide complete UVA and UVB protection, equivalent to UV400 rating.
Can I replace the lenses if they get damaged?
The product description does not explicitly mention interchangeable lenses for this model. However, the anti-scratch treatment and snap-in hinges are designed to prolong the life of the glasses.
What is the frame made of?
The frame is constructed from lightweight grilamid, known for its flexibility and durability.
How do I ensure the glasses stay in place during vigorous activity?
The glasses feature an adjustable nose piece and adjustable temples with hydrophilic rubber. These components help the glasses grip your skin, ensuring they stay secure even when you sweat.
Troubleshooting
Glasses slip down the nose
Adjust the nose piece for a tighter fit. Ensure the hydrophilic rubber on the temples and nose piece is clean and making good contact with your skin.
Lenses are smudged or dirty
Clean the lenses using a soft microfiber cloth. If necessary, use mild soap and water, rinse, and dry gently.
Frame feels too tight or too loose
Gently bend the temple arms to adjust the fit. Be careful not to over-bend. For significant fit issues, consider consulting the manufacturer's recommendations or a professional.
Hinges seem stiff
Gently work the hinges back and forth. If the issue persists, check for debris that might be obstructing movement. Avoid forcing the hinges.
