How to: Heat Wave Sunglasses
Arm Removal:
Most Heat Wave Visual® sunglasses feature a hardwareless hinge design that allows for no hassle customization and assembly on the fly. With the twist of your wrist you can snap arms in-and-out of place. No screws or tools required. So even if life decides to deal you a wicked curve-ball and your shades are slammed, sat on, etc. it’s rarely a game ruiner. Just snap the arms back into place and you’re good to go.
With the frame facing away from you and the arm fully extended grab the arm near the hinge firmly with your dominant hand, while holding the frame with your non-dominate hand.
Then holding both the frame and arm securely simply twist the arm, rolling the arm off of the ball hinge.
Arm Install:
Hold the frame in the same manner as when the arms were removed. Grab the arm and with the HW logo facing up place your thumb on top of it.
With the arm fully extended press the channel of the arm over the post on the frame.
Rotate the arm in the same direction it was removed (clockwise shown) while applying downward pressure until it is in place.
How to remove and install lenses:
Most Heat Wave Visual® glasses feature removable lenses allowing you to swap lenses in and out to adapt to any situation, from to day to night and everything in-between Heat Wave Visual® has your eyes covered.
Holding the frame from the rear use your thumbs to firmly press the lens outwards.
Push the lens completely through the frame until it is fully popped out. (Don't worry, you will not break the lens or frame.) Repeat this motion for both sides.
To install the lens grab the frame from the front and use your non-dominant thumb to pop the lens in starting towards the nose bridge.
With your dominant thumb apply pressure around the perimeter and guide the remainder of the lens into place. Inspect to ensure that the lens is fully seated in its channel and clean with microfiber before use.
Just like our arms, a wide variety of Heat Wave Visual® lenses are available with different filters, tints and coatings and can be found and purchased in our lens collection here.

How to side shields:

To attach the side shields to your sunglasses simply slide them on from the rear of the arm until it snaps into place on top of the hinge.
Close the arms half way exposing the edge of the side shield. Push up under exposed edge of side shield to release side shield lock on arm and at the same time push the side shield back sliding it off the arm.
How to Future Tech Lens Swap:
Changing out your Future Tech lens is easy and requires no tools, just grip and rip.
Grip the frame from the side shield and firmly pull lens out. If you're right handed, grip with your left and rip with your right, and vise versa.
To reinstall the lens into your Future Tech simply insert lens into upper lens channel, then click side mounts into place. If you're brow window is flush with the frame it's installed properly.
