Field Functionality & Design Features
They were accidently dropped, sat on, soaked in rain, sweat and opened and compacted into their hard-shell case hundreds of times. From climbing in New Zealand, sailing in Fiji, beach volleyball in California to running a 250km ultramarathon in Hawaii, they stood up to every test.
The Hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings repels water, sweat, sand and dirt. The FL2 micro-rail system, which allows the lenses to slide in parallel to each other, ‘spooning,’ is smooth and easy. Every single time. They store readily in a compactable hard-case making them easy to pack.
Our conclusion…where have Popticals been all our adventurous lives? Definitely one of our new favorite gear accessories. These compactable sunglasses are durable, light-weight, fashionable and functional. They are worth the price.
