Care & cleaning
Three rules: water and a microfiber cloth, never a dry shirttail, never alcohol on the mirror.
After every ride
Rinse the lens under cool tap water to flush salt and grit. Dry by patting — not wiping — with the included microfiber cloth. Wiping a dry, grit-coated lens drags abrasives across the coating. A damp lens with the same cloth lifts dirt instead of sanding.
For sweat residue under the nose pads, hold the frame upside-down and run a small stream of water down the bridge. Pat the area dry with the cloth.
When the lens is genuinely dirty
A drop of mild dish soap diluted in cool water, applied with the cloth, removes oils and stubborn road film. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid hot water — it can soften the lens coating over time.
The mirror specifically
The mirror module's reflective surface is a thin metal coating, similar to a camera lens. Treat it the way you'd treat a camera mirror: water and microfiber only. Do not use alcohol, glass cleaner, ammonia, or any solvent. They strip the coating in days, not years.
What not to use
- Paper towels (too coarse — they leave micro-scratches)
- Glass cleaner / Windex / alcohol wipes (strip the lens and mirror coatings)
- Clothing fabric (T-shirt, jersey — abrasive at the microfiber level)
- Hot water above body temperature
Storage
Keep the eyewear in the included pouch when not on your face. The pouch doubles as a cleaning cloth — keep it clean. The hard case protects against drops and pack weight. Storing the lens face-up on a surface scratches it within a week.
Spare lens (Classic only)
The included no-mirror spare lens lives in the same pouch. Storing the spare lens behind the installed lens in the case keeps both protected during travel.
