They can be wiped dry with a soft cotton cloth or air dried. They should never be cleaned while the lenses are dry or wiped with any rough material such as paper towels, shirt tails etc... We advise that you do not use any harsh cleaning agents or chemicals or dry tissue wipes.

In its normal state (Cloudy/dusk/overcast) days you will get about 35-37% light transmission. Behind the windshield of a car you will get 25% light transmission and in bright light conditions you will get 10% light transmission.

I forgot to leave a comment about my Drivewear glasses. THEY ARE JUST PERFECT! How they work: Inside (even bright indoor light) and when overcast they remain in "off" state. It means they are little yellow. Outdoor they got more brown. I was surprised the first time I put them on in direct sunlight conditions. They got red in 5 seconds. I was expecting more brown than red, but then I discovered it's the best color. Then I got worried that they are not as dark as regular sunglasses. I could say they were "half darken". I started to test them in many conditions but they were always quite brite. "What's wrong? Are they broken or what?" I thought. ...and then I realised they work perfectlly well! I just focused my view directly on the sun and it didn't dazzle me at all! And this is the new technology. They seem to be too bright to prevent dazzling but they work perfect. I use them when driving the car and flying the plane. I can say they are best glasses for pilots (and for anyone as well). Now I can spot every traffic more quickly even white plane on brite cumulonimbus. And yeah, I wear them all the time, working with computer, when driving, flying during the day and night. It's a little darken but It's still far more better than nothing ;) I bought them with OGA frames I posted earlier. Btw, frames are second brilliant product. Hi,

It’s me again. I forgot to leave a comment about my Drivewear glasses. THEY ARE JUST PERFECT!

How they work:

Outdoor they got more brown.
