Full details

The Oakley Plantaris Sq Sunglasses are designed for adult cyclists seeking adaptable eyewear with robust performance features. Their key benefit lies in their ability to adjust to changing conditions, particularly with the fast-swap vented nose piece.

These sunglasses offer a modern take on the original Plantaris silhouette, featuring square lenses and extended side shields for enhanced protection and airflow, making them suitable for demanding rides.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the fast-swap vented nose piece?

The fast-swap vented nose piece allows for quick adjustments to airflow, helping to prevent lens fogging during strenuous activities and adapting to changing environmental conditions.

Are these sunglasses suitable for low-light conditions?

The default lens configuration is designed for general performance cycling. For optimal performance in specific low-light conditions, consider purchasing compatible interchangeable lenses designed for such environments.

How do I clean the lenses without scratching them?

Always use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution specifically made for eyewear and then wipe gently with the cloth.

Can I replace the lenses if they get damaged?

Yes, the Plantaris Sq series is designed to accommodate interchangeable lenses. You can purchase compatible replacement lenses separately if needed.

What is the benefit of the extended side shields?

The extended side shields provide enhanced protection from wind, dust, and peripheral light, improving comfort and focus during cycling.

Are these sunglasses heavy?

The Plantaris Sq sunglasses are constructed with robust materials for durability, while remaining lightweight enough for comfortable, long-term wear during athletic activities.

What makes the Plantaris Sq different from the original Plantaris?

The Plantaris Sq evolves the original silhouette with square lenses, extended side shields for improved coverage, and a fast-swap vented nose piece for enhanced adaptability.

Troubleshooting

Sunglasses feel loose or slip down the nose.

Adjust the vented nose piece for a tighter fit. Ensure the arms are not bent outwards, which can affect the temple grip.

Lenses fogging up during intense activity.

Adjust the vented nose piece to allow for more airflow. Ensure the sunglasses are positioned correctly on your face for optimal ventilation.

Difficulty seeing clearly through the lenses.

Ensure lenses are clean. Check for any smudges or debris. Verify that the sunglasses are the correct fit for your face shape and that the wraparound design is not obstructing your primary field of vision.

Frame feels uncomfortable on temples or behind ears.

Gently try to adjust the angle of the arms. If discomfort persists, the current frame shape may not be ideal for your head shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Begin by placing the sunglasses on your face. Adjust the vented nose piece by gently pulling it away or pushing it closer to the frame to achieve optimal airflow and comfort. Ensure the arms rest comfortably on your temples.
  2. Lens Cleaning: Before first use, clean the lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Compatibility:

  • These sunglasses are designed for adult unisex wear.
  • The Plantaris Sq series offers interchangeable lenses (sold separately) for different light conditions, though this guide focuses on the default configuration.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe away smudges. For tougher grime, a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean cloth.
  • Frame Care: Wipe the frame with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the frame or coatings.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the sunglasses in a protective case to prevent scratches and damage. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods, as excessive heat can warp the frame materials.
  • Nose Piece Care: Periodically check the vented nose piece for any debris. It can be gently cleaned with a soft brush or cloth.
