DEMO — fictional range. Local brief only, NOT SENT. No personal data is collected or transmitted.

FIELD

A sport frame is chosen for the activity, not the face.

Sport eyewear is bought for what it has to survive rather than how it suits. The four questions below decide the frame before any measurement is taken.

What the activity is
Impact, spray, wind or sunlight, because each one needs a different frame
How fast it moves
Because a frame held by temple pressure behaves differently from one resting on the ears
Whether a prescription is needed
Because a wrapped frame limits what can be cut into it
How long it is worn
Because pressure that is comfortable for a minute is not comfortable for three hours

Where each decision comes from

The expensive mistake.

Choosing the frame by appearance. A frame that looks correct and is front-heavy moves during the activity, and by then it cannot be returned.

And the one that looks harmless.

A wrapped frame with a prescription that needed a flatter curve. The lens is made, it is thick at the edge, and the wearer notices the distortion rather than the thickness.
