Product Information

Full details

The POC Elicit sunglasses are designed for performance-focused cyclists and endurance athletes who prioritize minimal weight and maximum field of vision. By utilizing a completely frameless lens architecture and lightweight materials, they offer an almost imperceptible feel during long rides; however, the minimalist design lacks adjustable temple arms, which may be a consideration for those with specific fit preferences.

FAQs

Are the lenses interchangeable?

The Elicit series features a specific lens-to-frame attachment; please refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions if you intend to swap lenses.

Do these sunglasses provide UV protection?

Yes, the Clarity lenses provide comprehensive protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Are these suitable for running as well as cycling?

Yes, their lightweight and secure-fit characteristics make them excellent for running and other high-intensity endurance sports.

How do I remove smudges from the lens?

Use a clean microfiber cloth. If smudges are stubborn, use a pH-neutral lens cleaner or mild soap and water, then gently pat dry.

Is the frame fragile?

While the frame is designed to be flexible and durable, the frameless design requires care to avoid applying excessive pressure to the lens edges when cleaning or storing.

Troubleshooting

Lens fogging during high-exertion

Adjust the positioning slightly further from the face to improve airflow; ensure the nose pad is clean to prevent skin oil buildup.

Sunglasses slipping during intense movement

Clean the rubber nose pad with mild soap and water to restore its natural tackiness, and ensure it is centered on the bridge of the nose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup for the Elicit sunglasses is straightforward as they arrive ready to wear. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Always rinse the lens with lukewarm water to remove grit before wiping. Use only a dedicated microfiber lens cloth to avoid micro-scratches on the frameless edge.
  2. Storage: Store the sunglasses in the provided protective case when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight inside a hot vehicle, as extreme heat can compromise the frame material.
  3. Compatibility: Ensure that any headgear or helmets worn with these glasses do not conflict with the temple arm position. The Elicit works best with helmets that feature high-clearance eyewear docks.
