Features
The LOCKLINE system eliminates unnecessary components while integrating adjustable bendable ear hooks that conform precisely to your unique ear anatomy, enhancing stability without creating pressure points. Its ultralight tension cord secures eyewear in place during intense activity, while low-profile sliders provide seamless compatibility with helmets and hats across multiple discipline-specific designs for alpine, trail, water, and urban environments.
Creation Process

An adaptable and feature-filled pair that would not fall off your face, be comfortable, and still look good.
Concepts brought out exploration into new and possible solutions. The two ideas that survived were the first Dragonfly and Firefly concepts: an in-arm integrated compliant mechanism-based strapping system in sport-specific sunglasses.
