Product Information
Full details
The Madison Cipher Sunglasses in purple are designed for adult cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize a wide field of vision and reliable eye protection. These lightweight, half-frame glasses excel in both road and trail conditions due to their durable TR-90 construction and impact-resistant lenses, though the fixed-lens design means you cannot swap them out for different light conditions.

FAQs
Are these glasses suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, the impact-resistant lenses and secure non-slip fit make them highly effective for mountain biking.
Can I replace the lenses?
No, the Madison Cipher features a fixed lens design that is not intended for user replacement.
What is the purpose of the TR-90 frame?
TR-90 is a thermoplastic material that is incredibly durable, flexible, and lightweight, allowing the frame to bend under pressure and return to its original shape.
Do these provide 100% UV protection?
Yes, the lenses offer full UV-A and UV-B protection to keep your eyes safe from sun exposure.
Will these fit under my helmet?
The arms are designed with a low profile to minimize interference with most standard cycling helmet retention systems.
Is the purple color frame durable?
Yes, the frame material is resistant to environmental factors and retains its color well through standard usage.
Troubleshooting
Glasses sliding down the nose during sweating
Adjust the flexible nose-piece slightly tighter and ensure the rubber ear tips are clean of facial oils.
Lenses becoming foggy during cold weather
Ensure the glasses are positioned slightly further from the face to increase airflow, or use an anti-fog treatment.
Loose hinge feel
The TR-90 material is designed to flex; however, if the hinge feels abnormally loose, inspect for debris in the pivot point and clear with compressed air.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sunglasses last, the nose-piece should be gently adjusted to your face shape for maximum stability before your first ride. While the frames are highly flexible, avoid storing them under heavy objects to prevent pressure on the hinges. To clean, use a mild soap and water solution or a dedicated lens cleaning spray. Always use a microfiber cloth to prevent micro-scratches on the polycarbonate surface. When not in use, always place the glasses in the provided zip-up hard case rather than leaving them loose in a bag or jersey pocket to avoid lens degradation.
