Installation is straightforward, requiring the user to pop off the nose piece, slide each side of the insert under the frame, and clip the nose piece back in. Rubber bumpers stabilize the prescription lenses and protect the shield from scratching. The customer is able to order custom lenses online with a basic prescription from their optometrist. The ad emphasizes the thin and light option, so you don’t feel the extra weight on your face when you’re riding.
