In The Mail: Popticals Sunglasses

In The Mail: Popticals Sunglasses

Arriving in the mail for review this week were a pair of Popticals Sunglasses.

The glasses are a pretty nifty piece of engineering in that they “break” in the middle and slide together in a wire rail. The ear pieces fold back and underneath and it all stores in a tiny little plastic box.

The sliding mechanism is displayed much better in one of the company’s images:

Here’s the official Popticals blurb:

Popticals partnered with optics industry leader Carl Zeiss Vision to create NYDEF™ nylon lenses that bring visual precision to every golfer. The lenses enhance the ability to identify the subtle details that can often be hard to read among the many similar shades of the greens. Their nylon material provides the same clarity as glass lenses while remaining 18% lighter than polycarbonate lenses used in most other sunglasses.

To keep their high-performance lenses safe when not in use, Popticals developed an innovative and patented new technology that allows for portable, safe storage. At the heart of their patented design is the FL2 Micro-Rail System®. Built into the frames, the FL2 Micro-Rail System’s® track and stainless steel components allow the lenses to slide in parallel to each other for compact storage. The glasses then fit inside a small, durable case that keeps them safe when not in use. This gives Popticals their unique portability while offering premium sports performance.

ABOUT POPTICALS
Entrepreneur and Popticals founder David Porter saw a problem: sports sunglasses have no easy and safe way to be carried around when not in use. The cases wrap-around sunglasses come with are too bulky, and without a case, they often end up broken or lost. So David did what he does best and invented a solution: a design that allowed wrap-around sunglasses to compact down to a small size.

Popticals was founded with a spirit for innovation and adventure. They build portable, premium sports sunglasses that provide high-performance eyewear when you need them, and a convenient, safe way to store them when you don’t.
