Fit
A frame that adjusts to you, not the other way round
Plastic sport frames come in one shape. GATORZ frames are aluminum, so you shape them.
- Bend it to your faceTemples and frame adjust by hand for a snug fit with no pressure points. The answer to bounce and slide.
- Nose pad, two axesSet the lens distance and angle yourself. More airflow behind the lens means less fogging at the source when you slow down.
- Metal, not plastic7075 aluminum keeps its shape season after season and shrugs off the knocks that crack plastic frames.
Lens technology
Every workout has a screen now. Your lenses should know that.
Classic polarized lenses cut glare but can black out your watch or bike computer. OPz keeps the glare control and keeps the screen.

Questions
Good to know
Can I wear them with a cycling helmet?
Yes. Models like Specter, Warhawk and Sentix are designed to sit under a helmet. Because the temples bend, you can also adjust them to clear the straps.
Can I get my prescription in a GATORZ frame?
Yes. Prescription lenses are made and fitted for GATORZ frames. See the Prescription page for models, lens options and how to order.
How much do they weigh?
Most GATORZ frames weigh around 35 g. They are metal, so the weight is in exchange for a frame that holds its shape and can be adjusted to fit.
Can I bend the frame myself?
Yes, gently and a little at a time. Adjust the temples for grip behind the ears and the nose pad for lens distance and angle. If you are unsure, bring them to us and we will fit them for you.
Sweat and sea water: anything to worry about?
Rinse the frame and lenses with fresh water after a sweaty session or a day at the coast, then dry them. That is all the care they need.
Can I change the lenses?
The Tactis model has user-swappable lenses. For other models, lens replacement is done through our service, see the Lens Replacement page.
Where should I buy to get the warranty?
From GATORZ Thailand directly or from an authorized dealer. Keep your proof of purchase, it is the one document the warranty form needs.
