The Details
Lightweight fit, heavy vibes, in Crap's best-selling aviator.
A squared-off aviator cut from acetate rather than wire. It measures medium, so it fits a medium face cleanly and sits trim on a wide one, with long temples that reach well past the ear. Most of the stocked colourways are polarized, among them Sand Bio / Polarized Hemp, Desert Tortoise Bio / Polarized Grapeseed, Blonde Tortoise Bio / Polarized Mustard and Black Tortoise Bio / Polarized Grey, with Dark Tortoise Bio / Deep Rose as the tinted option. It is the one to grab for glare coming off water.
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
They're a perfect fit. Not too big and not too small. Very sturdy and feel expensive.
The nose bridge measurements were spot on, but noticed that the sides of the frame squeeze my head. This is uncomfortable, but I am hoping they stretch with use and time.
Only issue is that if I'm sweating at all they slide down my nose and I have to push them back up every couple minutes. Bc the nosepiece is plastic there's not much adjustability there.
Quality is good but they are quite small frames. If you have a large head like me maybe go for something else.
The Heavy Tropix earns its best-seller status on medium and narrow faces, with polarized lenses that cut glare. Wide faces should go up to the Stereo Cult.
