The Details
The Heavy Tropix aviator in matte, sport-minded colourways, both of them polarized.
The sport build of Crap's best-selling aviator: the same squared acetate shape in matte finishes. It measures medium, so it fits a medium face cleanly and sits trim on a wide one, and the long temples help hold it in place while moving. Matte Smoke Bio / Polarized G15 is the neutral pair and Matte Shadow Bio / Polarized Sangria the warmer one. For hiking, paddling and anything where a glossy tortoise frame would be the wrong call.
Features
- Plant-based bioacetate frame, biodegradable and petroleum-free
- CR-39 optical-grade lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection
- Stainless steel 5-barrel hinges and wire-core temples
- Polarized lenses on select colourways

What people say
My main issue with narrow side shades is that they usually slip with any activity because of my no/low bridge. The “anti-slip” pads on this pair were able to keep the shades in place while jogging on the beach.
I already had a pair of the regular heavy tropix and love them, but found that they would slide down my nose whenever I was a little sweaty. The nose piece and the light weight of these keeps them in place for exercise and activities, but still look stylish compared to other sport glasses.
Great glasses that can complement a wider face. I especially love the polarized tint on these - brings this nice rose color that I really dig. I'd say the bridge can at first feel a bit tight, but you get used to it imo
The Heavy Tropix Sport is Crap's best-selling shape with rubber nose pads, grippy temple tips and less weight, and owners say it stays put through runs and hikes. Medium and wide faces who sweat should buy this over the standard version.
