Product Information

Full details

The POC Devour Photochromic Glasses are designed for adult mountain bikers seeking goggle-like eye protection with the freedom of performance sunglasses. Their key benefit is a Clarity Photochromic lens that automatically adjusts to changing light conditions, ensuring optimal vision on the trail. A potential caveat is that while they offer wide coverage, they may not provide the same level of fogging resistance as full goggles in extremely humid conditions. These glasses feature a wide field of view, adjustable fit, and durable lens treatments.

FAQs

What type of UV protection do these glasses offer?

The POC Devour Photochromic Glasses offer full UV protection, blocking harmful UVA and UVB rays.

How quickly does the photochromic lens adapt?

The adaptation speed varies with temperature and UV intensity, but typically ranges from a few seconds to under a minute for significant changes.

Can I replace the photochromic lens with a different tint?

Yes, the POC Devour model is designed to accommodate interchangeable lenses, allowing you to swap the photochromic lens for other Clarity lenses suitable for different light conditions. These are typically sold separately.

Are these glasses suitable for cycling in the rain?

Yes, the water-repellent lens treatment helps water bead off the surface, improving visibility in rainy conditions. The wide coverage also provides good protection.

What is the warranty period for these glasses?

Please refer to the official POC warranty documentation or the retailer for specific warranty details, as they can vary by region and purchase date.

How do I clean the anti-fog properties of the lens?

The lenses have treatments that help resist fogging, but they are not inherently anti-fog coatings that can be cleaned. Proper ventilation and avoiding internal lens fogging are key. Cleaning should be done gently as described in the care section.

Are these glasses suitable for other sports besides mountain biking?

While optimized for mountain biking, their performance, coverage, and adjustability make them suitable for other outdoor sports like road cycling, skiing (in milder conditions), or trail running where eye protection and adaptive vision are beneficial.

Troubleshooting

Lens tint not changing as expected

Photochromic lens activation is dependent on UV light. Ensure you are in an environment with sufficient UV exposure. Performance can also be slower in very cold temperatures or faster in very warm temperatures. Allow a few minutes for the lens to adapt fully.

Glasses feel unstable or slide down

Readjust the nosepiece for a more secure fit. Ensure the temples are properly positioned over your ears. If the issue persists, consider if the frame shape is suitable for your head and face structure.

Vision is blurry or distorted

Clean the lenses thoroughly with a microfiber cloth. Ensure there are no smudges or debris. If the distortion is persistent and unrelated to dirt, there might be an issue with the lens curvature; contact customer support.

Difficulty seeing in low light conditions

The photochromic lens darkens in bright light and lightens in low light, but it does not become completely clear. For very low light or nighttime riding, consider swapping to a dedicated clear or low-light lens if available for this model.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Automatically adapts to changing light conditions with photochromic lens.
  • Provides extensive eye protection with goggle-like coverage.
  • Offers a wide field of view for enhanced situational awareness.
  • Secure and customizable fit due to adjustable temples and nosepiece.
  • Durable lens treatments resist smudges, water, and scratches.

Cons

  • May not offer the same fogging resistance as full goggles in extreme humidity.
  • Photochromic lens adaptation speed can vary based on temperature.
  • Interchangeable lenses are sold separately, adding to the overall cost.
  • Can be a significant investment compared to standard sunglasses.
  • Fit may require adjustment for optimal comfort on long rides.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The glasses are ready to wear out of the box. For a personalized fit, adjust the temples by gently bending them outwards or inwards. The nosepiece can be adjusted by carefully applying pressure to mold it to your nose shape.

Compatibility: These glasses are designed for adult use, primarily for cycling and other outdoor activities requiring eye protection. They are compatible with most helmets. While the primary lens is photochromic, consider purchasing additional Clarity lenses for specific light conditions if needed.

Care: To maintain lens clarity and performance:

  1. Clean lenses regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. A microfiber cloth is ideal.
  2. For stubborn dirt or smudges, use a mild lens cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or household cleaners, as they can damage lens coatings.
  3. Store the glasses in their protective case when not in use to prevent scratches.
  4. Avoid exposing the lenses to extreme heat for prolonged periods, which could affect the photochromic properties.
