Product Information
Full details
Designed for competitive cyclists and runners who prioritize aerodynamic efficiency and visual clarity, the POC Propel sunglasses leverage advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) testing to minimize drag. These glasses sit exceptionally close to the face to manage airflow around the shoulders, providing a significant performance advantage for high-speed activities. While their specialized aerodynamic shape offers a unique look and feel, potential users should note that the high-wrap design may feel more restrictive than traditional sport eyewear.

Can I replace the lenses myself?
Yes, the lenses are designed to be interchangeable, though care should be taken to avoid damaging the frame retention points.
Are these glasses suitable for people with smaller faces?
The three interchangeable nose bridge sizes help accommodate a wide variety of face shapes, including smaller profiles.
How do I protect the Ri-Pel coating?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Clean only with mild soap, water, and a dedicated microfiber cloth.

The frame is made from biogrilamid, a durable, lightweight, and bio-based material.
Can I use these for sports other than cycling?
Absolutely, they are excellent for running or any fast-paced sport where aerodynamic efficiency and clear vision are required.
Troubleshooting
Lens fogging during high-exertion activity
Ensure the sunglasses are adjusted to sit slightly further from the face to allow for better airflow behind the lens.
Sunglasses slide down the nose when sweating
Swap to a larger nose bridge size or ensure the temples are adjusted to grip the head more firmly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduced aerodynamic drag during high-speed training
- High-clarity lenses offer superior optical precision
- Multiple nose bridge options for a truly custom fit
- Ri-Pel coating effectively keeps lenses clean from road spray
- Lightweight construction prevents pressure points during long rides
Cons
- Design aesthetic may not appeal to all users
- High-wrap shape requires precise fit to avoid contact with lashes
- Requires careful storage to prevent scratching the wide lens surface
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the optimal fit, begin by testing the three included nose bridge sizes to determine which one allows the lens to sit securely without pressing against your cheeks or eyelashes. Once the bridge is set, adjust the temple tips by gently bending them to hug the contour of your head for a locked-in feel. To care for your lenses, always use the provided microfiber pouch to clean them; avoid paper towels or coarse fabrics that can compromise the anti-scratch and Ri-Pel coatings. If the lenses accumulate heavy road grime, rinse them with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap before drying with a soft, clean cloth.
