Popticals Collapsible Sports Sunglasses Sports sunglasses can be inconvenient and susceptible to damage when not in use. Popticals' durable, and highly-collapsible eyewear changes that.

Folding sunglasses aren’t exactly new – they’ve been around for quite a long bit.  Popticals, though, make folding sunglasses with athletes and outdoor enthusiasts in mind, so they get extra features to ensure they survive both rugged activities and the onslaught of nature’s elements.

At the core of the outfit’s sports sunglasses is a patented micro-rail system that allows the eyewear to collapse into a highly portable size when not in use. Integrated magnets guide the pieces into place, so everything should go smoothly, whether you’re collapsing or deploying the sunglasses.  Rather than merely keeping that collapsed pair in a pocket or pouch (where, let’s be honest, it won’t be safe), it comes with a rugged hard-shell case to ensure they’re never damaged even while getting knocked, bumped, or dropped along the way.

Popticals currently have five sunglass models in the introductory line: Popgun, Popsign, Popstar, Popart, and Popgear.  Each one comes with a frame cut in Grilamid TR 90, which makes them highly durable and lightweight (20 percent lighter than regular plastic frames), while providing plenty of flexibility to provide a perfect wraparound fit.  They use polyamide lenses, all of which are polarized, scratch-resistant, and impact-resistant (they claim it can survive impact at 100mph), all while filtering out every UV ray that gets anywhere close to your eyes.   All lenses even come with Ri-Pel lens treatment to repel dirt, dust, oil, and water, ensuring your line of sight stays clear the entire time.
