FRAME ADJUSTMENT

If your Ops-Core Performance Protective Eyewear
feels too tight, your primary adjustment should be to
the front frame. Hold the frame in both hands and
carefully ex the frame outward. Make a number of
small adjustments checking each time to see if the
desired t has been achieved. Use caution: Bending
the frame too much or too quickly can result in
dislodging of lenses or distortion of the frame.

WARNING:
Do not attempt on polymer frames.

FIT ADJUSTMENT

11

TEMPLE ADJUSTMENT

If needed, a second adjustment can be
made to the narrow end of the eyewear
temples. Gently grasp each side temple
with one hand and make slight adjustments,
checking for desired t and comfort each
time. Make similar adjustments to each side
to preserve symmetry.

Ops-Core Mk1 Performance Protective Eyewear come with a specially-woven Microber Pouch for
cleaning and storage. Using the soft bag will help preserve the superior optical quality of your Gentex
lenses. Hand wash and air-dry the bag regularly.

When not in use, always carry your eyewear in the provided bag or other sturdy eyewear case. To
keep them in shape, use both hands to take them off and avoid putting them face down on a surface
– scratches can impede the performance or ruin your lenses.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

13

To avoid scratches, never wipe the lenses when they’re dry (there
may be dust or particles) and don’t use paper towels or other rough
materials.

Check your Ops-Core Mk1 Performance Protective Eyewear regularly
to make sure the screws aren’t loose – if you nd one that is, tighten it
gently with a small screwdriver.
