More about the Mantra

The Mantra’s arms don’t fold. Alba built it as a single piece because a rider rarely puts their glasses away: they go on the helmet, on top of the head or round the neck, and a frame with no hinge moves between those faster.

The frame is TR90 and weighs 24 grams. The temple tips are shaped to stay comfortable on long rides, with a rubber grip line on the inside.

The VZUM lens is interchangeable, and air moves freely behind it, which keeps condensation and fogging away.

Which lens should I choose?
They’re all photochromic F-Lenses: they darken as the light gets stronger and clear as it fades, from category 1 to category 3, and they keep working on a cloudy day. The difference is the tint. BTL is slightly yellow when clear and turns to a green-blue mirror. FLM is pink when clear and turns to a blue mirror. Fire turns to a red mirror. The Mantra also comes with the F-Lens Classic, which goes from neutral to dark grey.
Can I wear them with a prescription?
Alba makes an Optical Clip that sits behind the lens and carries prescription lenses, and this frame is compatible with it. We don’t list the clip, so ask us and we’ll order one in.
