FAQs
What is Clarity lens technology?
Clarity lens technology, developed with Carl Zeiss Vision Sunlens, enhances visual performance by providing sharper contrast, truer colors, and improved definition in various light conditions.
What does UV400 protection mean?
UV400 protection means the lenses block nearly 100% of harmful ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays, protecting your eyes from sun damage.
How do I clean the lenses effectively?
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For tougher smudges, rinse with lukewarm water and a mild soap, then gently dry. The Ri-Pel coating helps repel dirt and water.
Can I wear these sunglasses with a helmet?
Yes, the Aspire sunglasses are specifically designed for optimal comfort and fit when worn with or without a cycling helmet.
What type of conditions is the 'Partly Sunny Gold Cat. 2' lens best suited for?
This lens is ideal for partly sunny to sunny conditions, offering good contrast enhancement and protection for moderate to bright light.
Is the frame made from plastic?
The frame is made from Bio-Grilamid, a lightweight, strong, and durable material derived primarily from renewable resources.
What is the Ri-Pel coating?
Ri-Pel is a special coating that repels dirt, water, sweat, salt, oil, and dust, making the lenses easier to clean and maintain.
Troubleshooting
Glasses slip down the nose during activity
Adjust the rubber nose bridge for a tighter fit. Ensure the temple arms are also adjusted to rest securely on your ears. Clean any sweat or oil from the nose bridge and temple tips.
Lenses fog up during intense effort or in humid conditions
Ensure proper ventilation by adjusting the glasses slightly on your face if possible. The Ri-Pel coating can help reduce fogging, but in extreme conditions, temporary fogging may occur. Consider taking short breaks or wiping lenses if necessary.
Vision seems distorted or colors appear unnatural
Verify that the correct lens is installed and that it is clean. Ensure the glasses are sitting straight on your face. If the issue persists, the lens may be damaged or there might be an issue with the frame alignment.
Frame feels uncomfortable or causes pressure points
Readjust the nose bridge and temple arms. Ensure the glasses are not overtightened. If discomfort persists, the fit might not be ideal for your specific head shape.

Compatibility: These sunglasses are designed to be compatible with most cycling helmets, offering a comfortable fit that doesn't interfere with helmet straps or padding. The 'Partly Sunny Gold Cat. 2' lens is optimized for sunny to partly sunny conditions.
Care: To maintain the optimal performance and longevity of your sunglasses:
- Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber cloth) to clean the lenses. If necessary, rinse the lenses with lukewarm water and mild soap before gently drying with the cloth. The Ri-Pel coating helps repel smudges, making cleaning easier.
- Frame Care: Wipe the frame with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the frame or coatings.
- Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in the provided protective case to prevent scratches and damage. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods, as excessive heat can affect the frame material and lens coatings.
- Avoid Placing Lenses Down: Always place the sunglasses on their frames to avoid scratching the lenses.
