The Navigator was designed to be a versatile frame appropriate for any occasion that has performance features allowing it to seamlessly transition from day-to-day activities to intense athletic pursuits.

The AO X MW frames are made in Italy with TR90 polymer, an incredibly durable, lightweight and hypoallergenic material made to hold its shape, even in the highest temperatures. The silicone nose pads are made to grip and hold – with a wire core skeleton that athletes can squeeze tight during a workout and let loose afterward. Silicone pads wrap behind the ear for additional comfort and grip.

The frames feature Italian Divel CR-39 polarized lenses that blocks 100% of UVA/UVB rays and prevent road glare. In addition, the back side has an extra coating to counteract any reflection coming from the eye. Spring hinges allow for give and bounce back in case of rough wear, and each frame comes with a cleaning cloth and durable EVA case to get you through your most active days.
