Are you annoyed the spots that are left behind on your glasses after getting caught in a rain shower or being forced to remove your glasses completely just when you need them the most so you can see where you are going on your bike in a storm? For $20, Oakley may have a solution for you. The Oakley NanoClear Lens Cleaner + Hydrophobic Kit is a liquid product which is applied directly to the lenses of your glasses and repels water similar to the RainX product for your car’s windshield.
The Oakley NanoClear Lens Cleaner + Hydrophobic Kit is easy to apply using the applicator marker and is formulated to work with almost any type of eyewear and frames, including prescription glasses. To apply, simply run the marker tip across the entire lens surface, wait 30 seconds then buff it lightly with the included MICROCLEAR cloth. The formula can be applied to both sides of the lenses – especially useful for those who sweat a lot. The coating prevents water from leaving streaks and sheens that can corrupt your vision, and it creates a smudge-resistant barrier that repels skin oils and lotions, so keeping your lenses clean will be a whole lot easier.
Each kit is good for about 50 applications, but it should be noted that the NanoClear is not compatible with snow goggles or anti-fog treated lenses. The Oakley NanoClear Lens Cleaner + Hydrophobic Kit contains: one bottle of Hydrophobic lens treatment with “pen” applicator and one streak-free high quality MICROCLEAR cleaning cloth with HDO logo. Rumor has it that Oakley is in the process of phasing out the factory applied Hydrophobic coating option to its eyewear so this DIY kit may be the only way to have eyewear with this water repelling coating. The kit can be purchased directly from Oakley’s website if your local eyewear retailer does not carry the kit. Spot on, or rather spot off
