Full details
The POC Propel Sunglasses are designed for dedicated road cyclists who demand aerodynamic precision and high-contrast vision. These sunglasses excel at providing an uncompromised field of view and wind protection during high-speed efforts, though their specialized wraparound profile may feel tight on those with wider face shapes.

Troubleshooting
Lens fogging during climbs
Ensure the sunglasses are positioned slightly further from your face using the larger nose piece to increase airflow.
Sunglasses slipping while sweating
Verify the temples are adjusted correctly to sit flush against your head and ensure the nose piece is clean and free of skin oils.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional optical clarity under various light conditions
- Lightweight construction reduces pressure during long rides
- Hydrophobic lens coating effectively sheds road spray and rain
- Highly customizable fit with swappable nose bridges
Cons
- Wraparound frame design can conflict with some helmet retention systems
- Limited ventilation compared to standard sport sunglasses
- Specific aesthetic may not appeal to casual riders
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the perfect fit, start by testing the included nose pieces to find the height that prevents the lens from resting on your cheeks while maintaining stability. The temples are designed to be adjusted for a secure grip against your head; gently move them to find the optimal tension. For care, always rinse the lenses with lukewarm water and a mild, pH-neutral soap if they become heavily soiled. Avoid using paper towels or abrasive rags, as these can micro-scratch the anti-scratch coating. Always store the glasses in the provided protective case when not in use to prevent pressure damage to the frame or lenses.
