Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the 13.4% light transmission affect my ride?
A: This is the ideal zone for athletes. It is dark enough to eliminate squinting in full sun but maintains the high-contrast definition needed to spot ruts, potholes, and terrain changes at high speeds.
Q: Is the APEX helmet-compatible?
A: Yes. We’ve designed the TR90 arms to be ultra-slim and flexible. They slide effortlessly under cycling, climbing, or skiing helmets without creating the 'temple-pinch' common in lower-quality sports eyewear.
Q: What makes these 'Salt-Water Safe'?
A: Most mirrored lenses peel when exposed to ocean air. Our Salt-Water Safe coatings are chemically bonded to resist the corrosive effects of sodium chloride. This makes the APEX the premier choice for surfers, sailors, and coastal runners.
Q: Why are there coatings on both the front and back of the lens?
A: We apply Hydrophobic and Oleophobic treatments to both sides to ensure that sweat from your brow doesn't fog or smear the inside of the lens, while rain and spray bead off the outside.
Q: Can I use the APEX for skiing?
A: Absolutely. The high-wrap shield provides 'goggle-like' coverage against wind and UV, making it the favourite for spring skiing, ski touring (skinning), and après-ski.
Q: Are these scratch-resistant?
A: Yes. The APEX features a double-sided Anti-Scratch Hard Coating to protect your investment from the grit and debris common in outdoor training.
