About Popticals Sonbrille

Popticals is 'n versameling van opvoubare sonbrille wat ontwerp is vir aktiewe gebruik. Die rame bevat 'n gepatenteerde mikro-raalstelsel wat die lense toelaat om parallel aan mekaar te gly, sodat die sonbrille opvou tot 'n kompakte grootte vir berging. Die lense is gemaak van NYDEF-nylon en bied helderheid, impakweerstand en beskerming teen ultraviolette lig. Die rame is gemaak van Grilamid TR90 vir buigsaamheid en gemak. Vlekvrye staalpennetjies en 'n magneet hou die twee helftes stewig op hul plek tydens gebruik.

Production Technology: Popticals' innovative design includes the FL2 Micro Rail System integrated into the frames, allowing lenses to move parallel for easy storage. The patented rail system maintains the curved design elements of wraparound sunglasses, perfect for active use, without the bulky storage size. Lenses feature NYDEF nylon materials for clarity, impact resistance, and UV protection. The Grilamid TR90 frames provide flexibility, comfort, and resistance to UV damage, making Popticals sunglasses durable and comfortable for all-day wear.
Inspiration: Popticals believes sunglasses are essential for active individuals, not just as protective gear but as an extension of their personality through various dynamic styles. The brand aims to redefine the convenience of sunglasses by introducing designs that can be safely and easily collapsed to a smaller size for effortless portability when not in use. This innovation is rooted in the idea that high-quality, reliable sunglasses should also offer unparalleled convenience, reflecting a commitment to enhancing the active lifestyle without compromising style or functionality.
Operation Flow: Popticals sunglasses, covered by multiple utility patents, use stainless steel pins that move along a track within the frames for smooth and effortless movement. A powerful magnet guides and locks in the connecting pieces in the center of the frames to create a secure and solid connection when in use; the magnets then disconnect just as simply for collapsibility and safe storage. All components of the FL2 Micro-Rail System are made from corrosion and rust-proof materials to ensure durable, long-lasting functionality.
