Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the longevity of your Wildcat sunglasses, always use the provided performance case when the glasses are not in use. When changing lenses, handle them only by the edges to avoid transferring skin oils to the optical surface. Use the included microfiber bag to gently remove dust and smudges; avoid using paper towels or abrasive cloths that could damage the hydroleophobic coating. If the frames become soiled after a ride, rinse them with lukewarm water and a mild, neutral soap before air drying.
