User guide
This guide accompanies your SPEK eyewear. Fit, care and lens changes: everything you need to get the most from it on the terrain. The principles apply to all our models.
The fitting and replacement steps shown apply to STRYVE II and STRYVE II LT. For another model, our team can help.
Fit
Your SPEK eyewear adjusts at three points: the nose pad and both temples. The goal is simple: a stable fit during activity, without pressure at the temples or slipping on the nose.
Rotating nose pad
The nose pad pivots freely on its axis. It can be positioned at any angle and locks into each position with a click system. No tools or excessive force needed.
How to adjust it
- Hold the frame with one hand.
- Grip the nose pad between your thumb and index finger.
- Rotate it to the desired angle. You will feel a click at each position.
- Try on the eyewear. Readjust if needed.
Adjustable temples
The temples bend by hand to follow the shape of your head. Bend gradually, try them on, and make small adjustments. The material retains the resulting shape.
PHASE™ lens
The PHASE™ photochromic lens adjusts its tint to light intensity. As the light gets stronger, the lens darkens. As the light fades, it clears. One lens covers most conditions you encounter on an outing.
Gradual adaptation
The transition is gradual. The tint changes with UV exposure, then clears as that exposure decreases.
Do not test photochromic lenses behind a window
The photochromic reaction is triggered by UV rays, not visible light. Window glass blocks most UV rays. Testing your lenses indoors, in front of a window, will not trigger the tint change. Step outside for a few seconds to see the lens adapt.
Daily care
SPEK lenses have scratch-resistant, anti-reflective and anti-fog treatments. Commercial cleaning products damage these treatments. No cleaning product is needed for their care.
Use
- The microfibre pouch supplied with your eyewear
- Clean water at room temperature
Avoid
- Soap, alcohol and ammonia-based solutions
- Screen wipes or commercial wet wipes
- Rough materials: cotton shirts, paper and tissues
How to clean them
- Lightly dampen the microfibre pouch.
- Wipe the lens in circular motions without pressing.
- Leave it to air-dry.
Demanding conditions
Salt water, sand and dust are abrasive. Rinse the lens with clean water before wiping it. Rubbing a dry lens covered in sand will cause permanent scratches.
Case and storage
The hard case is more than an accessory. It protects the lenses from impacts, pressure and scratches during transport.
Storage guidelines
- Put your eyewear in its case whenever you are not wearing it.
- Avoid bags where it could come into contact with keys, tools or other metal objects.
- Do not leave it in a vehicle in direct sunlight. Prolonged heat affects lens treatments and frame flexibility.
Changing the lens
Our frames are designed for quick lens changes. One lens for bright sun, another for diffused light, and a third for the end of the day. Match your optics to the conditions.
The procedure
- Hold the frame firmly with both hands.
- Remove the lens by applying outward pressure from the corners.
- Align the new lens with the centre of the frame.
- Press the sides until you hear the locking click.
STRYVE II and STRYVE II LT compatibility
STRYVE II and STRYVE II LT lenses share the same shape. A lens purchased for one model fits the other without modification.
Lens categories and VLT
VLT (visible light transmission) is the percentage of visible light that passes through the lens. The lower the VLT, the more light the lens filters. Each SPEK lens is calibrated for specific conditions.
| Category | VLT | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| S1 | 43 to 80% | Low light, late afternoon, diffused light |
| S2 | 18 to 43% | Moderate light, variable skies |
| S3 | 8 to 18% | Full sun, typical summer conditions |
| S4 | 3 to 8% | Intense light, snow, high altitude |
Replacement lenses and accessories
All our lenses are available individually. The nose pad is also sold separately, in several colours to match the frames.
