Osprey sunglasses are designed to be amazingly comfortable under a helmet or aviation-style headset and fit those with medium size heads and faces. The entire frame and temples are made of Resilamide™, a material that is primarily used in aerospace. This very costly polymer material makes these glasses virtually unbreakable and yet super light and flexible. Their 1mm thin temples and their flexibility mean that you will not feel them while wearing a helmet or headset. If you wear a modern, noise-canceling headset, the temples are thin enough to eliminate noise leaks.
They also offer precision manufactured and shatterproof, polycarbonate lenses that offer uncompromised clarity. By default they are non-polarized and yet block 100% UV light. Mirrored lenses are only colored on one side; there is no significant color distortion while wearing. Bifocals feature a flat-top/lined magnified/reader portion of the lens measuring 16mm from the bottom of the frame (just under halfway up the lens) and are well-suited for seeing broad areas without having to move your head much. If you need a bit different of a height, Contact Us! Flying Eyes temples wrap smoothly around your head and do not wrap around/behind your ears. This means you can easily slide them on or off while wearing any helmet or headset. Each set of Flying Eyes eyewear comes with its own protective case and a soft, microfiber cleaning cloth/bag. And like all Flying Eyes eyewear, they are prescription compatible. |
