Here's a comprehensive guide on how to change Sungod Vanguard lenses.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Your Sungod Vanguard Lenses
Ready to switch up your look or adapt to new light conditions on the slopes? Changing the lenses on your SunGod Vanguards™ goggles is a simple process, designed for quick and effortless swaps. Let's get started and make sure you're seeing better, no matter the weather.
Step 1: Engage and Prepare
Before you do anything, let's get in the right mindset. You're holding a pair of high-performance goggles designed with durability in mind. The lenses are tough, and the frame is flexible. So, take a deep breath, and don't be afraid to apply a little pressure when needed. Just be gentle and methodical, and you'll be a pro in no time!
First, find a clean, flat surface to work on. Lay down your microfiber pouch or a soft cloth to protect your goggles from scratches. Make sure your hands are clean and dry to avoid leaving fingerprints on your new lens.
Step 2: Removing the Existing Lens
This is the main event! The process is designed to be intuitive, but knowing the key points of pressure makes it a breeze.
Sub-heading: The Mid-Point Release
Locate the "SunGod" engraving on the top of the frame, right in the middle. This is your starting point. Gently but firmly, pull the frame away from the lens at this mid-point. You'll feel a slight give as the lens starts to unseat from the frame.
Sub-heading: Unclipping the Bottom and Sides
Once the top is partially released, continue to pull the frame away from the lens. Work your way down towards the bottom half of the frame. The lens is secured by a series of attachment points along the top and bottom. You'll hear a few gentle clicks as the lens comes free. Don't yank it out, but rather guide it out of the frame.
Pro-tip: If you're having trouble, try applying pressure from the front of the lens, pushing it out through the back of the frame, especially around the edges.
Step 3: Inserting the New Lens
Now that your new lens is ready to go, it's time to secure it in place.
Sub-heading: Securing the First Side
Hold the frame and your new lens. It's often easiest to start by inserting one side of the lens first. Align the edge of the lens with the corresponding groove in the frame on one side and press it into place. You should feel it click into the two attachment points at the top and bottom.
Sub-heading: Securing the Second Side
Now, move to the other side of the lens. Work your way along the edge, pressing the lens firmly into the frame until it is fully seated. Ensure it's secured at the attachment points on this side as well.
Sub-heading: The Final Press
With the lens seemingly in place, give the frame a final check. Press along the top, bottom, and around the nose area to ensure the lens is securely inserted. You should feel a snug fit and hear a satisfying click or two as it locks in. A properly installed lens will feel flush with the frame and won't wiggle.
Step 4: Care and Storage
Your work isn't done yet! Proper care of your lenses will ensure they last for years.
Sub-heading: Clean and Polish
Using the provided 100% microfibre pouch, gently wipe away any fingerprints or smudges that may have accumulated during the lens change process. Never use harsh chemicals or paper towels, as these can scratch the lens coating.
Sub-heading: Store Your Spare
Store your spare lens in the provided pouch. This will protect it from dust, scratches, and damage when you're not using it. Keeping it clean and protected means it's ready to go the next time you need to swap it out.
