Product Insights
The Pyxis Narrow Oval Sunglasses by AIRE are purpose-built for narrow faces, featuring a 52mm lens and 142mm frame to prevent slippage and an oval silhouette that balances heart-shaped and softens angular narrow faces. They use polycarbonate lenses that are 9% lighter than standard plastic, reducing weight and bridge pressure for all-day comfort, with frames made from at least 30% post-consumer recycled polycarbonate. However, the lenses lack polarization and have Abbe 30 (48% more chromatic aberration than CR-39), meaning they do not reduce glare and may exhibit more color fringing. Scratch resistance relies on a hardcoat, requiring careful cleaning with lotion-free soap and avoidance of heat above 60°C to maintain integrity. Registering on aireshades.com.au extends warranty from 6 to 12 months.
Verified claims
- Face shape
- Oval silhouette balances heart-shaped and softens angular narrow faces.
- Narrow fit
- The 52mm lens width and 142mm frame width are sized for narrow faces and hug smaller bone structure.
- Comfort
- Polycarbonate lenses are 9% lighter than standard plastic, reducing weight for all-day comfort.
- Design philosophy
- Pyxis is purpose-built for narrow faces, not scaled from a unisex template.
- Visual performance
- The polycarbonate lenses have an Abbe value of 30, about 48% more chromatic aberration than CR-39.
- Durability
- Scratch resistance depends on a factory-applied hardcoat; clean with a drop of lotion-free dish soap and avoid sustained heat above 60°C to prevent frame warping and lens misalignment.
- Recycled content
- Frame uses minimum 30% post-consumer recycled polycarbonate, certified by Global Recycling Standard.
- Lens care
- Rinse before cleaning; use only lotion-free soap and a clean microfiber cloth.
- Heat damage
- Avoid sustained heat above 60°C/140°F to prevent frame warping and lens misalignment.
- Polarization
- The manufacturer does not list the lenses as polarized; they are described as scratch-resistant with UV400 protection but not polarized.
- Warranty
- Registering the frame extends the warranty from 6 to 12 months.
- UV protection
- The lenses provide inherent UV400 protection: polycarbonate blocks UV radiation up to 400 nanometers at the molecular level, so the full-spectrum UV defense is permanent for the life of the lens and is not a coating that can peel or degrade.
- Recycled materials
- The Pyxis frame is molded from polycarbonate containing a minimum of 30% post-consumer recycled material.
- Impact resistance
- The polycarbonate lenses have impact resistance 10 times greater than standard CR-39 plastic and meet the ANSI Z87.1 high-velocity standard.
