The Design

About Popticals Sonnenbrille

Popticals ist eine Kollektion faltbarer Sonnenbrillen, die für den aktiven Einsatz konzipiert wurde. Die Fassungen verfügen über ein patentiertes Mikroschienensystem, das die Gläser parallel zueinander verschieben lässt, sodass sich die Sonnenbrille auf ein kompaktes Format zusammenfalten und verstauen lässt. Die Gläser bestehen aus NYDEF-Nylon und bieten Klarheit, Schlagfestigkeit sowie Schutz vor ultravioletter Strahlung. Die Fassungen sind aus Grilamid TR90 gefertigt und gewährleisten so Flexibilität und Tragekomfort. Edelstahlstifte und ein Magnet halten die beiden Hälften während des Tragens sicher in Position.

Unique Properties: Popticals is a premium sunglasses company that offers exceptional quality, one-of-a-kind patented collapsibility, and unique portability.

Lightweight and available in a broad array of styles, Popticals are indispensable to the lives of their active, engaged, and discerning users.

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.
