NEO Tortoise Magnetic Sunglasses

All Shadelocks sunglasses have a rare earth magnet molded in the temple tip of the sunglasses, which is the part next to your ear. These magnets attach to the metal mesh inserts that secure into the sweatband of any of your hats

The inserts have a swing clip to secure it in the sweatband. Start by placing the glasses on your hat to see where the magnets position on your hat - the goal is to have the magnets hit the center of the insert. Then simply swing the clip to the 90 degree position, place the clip in this position in the sweatband, then swing the clip down to a vertical position. You want this to be a tight fit to minimize any movement of the inserts, so there will be tension as you swing down the clip into position.

When properly installed, it's rare for the inserts to move out of position. If you do encounter this, remove the insert from the sweatband. Then move the clip 180 degree to the up position, and slightly bend it backwards so when it swings back down it rubs on the insert itself. You want it to be a little tough to push the clip over the sweatband to ensure a tight fit.

The 'Click' of the magnets attaching to the inserts becomes addictive! Placing the glasses on your hat is best done as a two-hand operation. Gently open the temple arms, position the glasses on the hat brim, then release the arms so the magnets will click as they adhere to the inserts.

Orders generally ship 1-3 days from receipt, and are shipped via USPS. When shipped, you will receive a notification with a tracking number and estimated delivery date.

Our models are not gender specific. That being said, the Neo model tends to be most popular with women.

To best clean Shadelocks glasses, start by rinsing them off with clean, warm water. Then, use a microfiber cloth to wipe off the lenses while they're still wet.

There are rare earth magnets in many items we already use. such as cell phones and earbuds. While there are numerous claims of magnetic headband health benefits in cases such as depression, autism, improved blood flow or brain activity, the science shows that static magnetic headbands do not provide any benefit. The science also does not show any negative side affects to having static magnets near your head. We do not make any claims related to health impacts.

Absolutely! We have customers who have had prescription lenses cut for the Neo model with good results. However due to the amount of curvature in the Ferro lens, we don’t recommend prescription replacements in the Ferro model as there would be some distortion. Consult with your ophthalmologist, most shops can custom cut lenses.

On your hat of course! They will always be ready to run out the door with you. They will also stick to anything that a normal magnet will stick to - the fridge, garage cabinets, etc.

Z87 is the distinction for ANSI compliant safety glasses. Because Shadelocks was designed by real people, for real people doing real work, all our sunglasses carry the Z87 distinction. We even carry clear lenses for construction, daytime motorcycle riding, etc.

All our glasses are made in France with Zeiss European lenses. We strive to provide the highest level of quality possible.

Yes! We sell many colors of clips, so you can conceal the inserts in as many hats as you want for an easy transition from your favorite roached work or play hat to your dressy happy hour on the rooftop bar ball cap.
