POVEC
POVEC creates performance eyewear for athletes who need clear vision the instant light changes, whether it's glare, shade, or a tunnel with no time to adjust. Built on Ambilight Inc.'s solid-state electrochromic platform by a Stanford- and Purdue-trained materials science team, POVEC brings automotive-grade smart glass technology to the trail and road.
The C1 shifts tint in about one second with a simple swipe, far faster than photochromic lenses that lag 20 to 60 seconds behind the sun. Its solid-state lens stays distortion-free under impact, wrapped in a durable TR90 frame available in four colorways.
Specs: CAT 2–3 lens, 37%–9% VLT, USB-C battery good for 28 days, IP65-rated, about 36 grams. Light enough to forget you're wearing it, the C1 turns Ambilight's automotive-scale electrochromic research into eyewear built to keep athletes locked on the terrain, not the transition.
