WIRED Magazine – How to Take a Post-Pandemic Road Trip with AVIEW
The WIRED road trip guide included AVIEW sunglasses in its travel coverage. This post, first published in August 2021, revisits that mention and explains how the interchangeable design can fit into a compact packing plan.

Why AVIEW appeared in the WIRED road trip guide
The practical appeal is the ability to carry more than one lens color without packing another frame for each tint. Colored slip-in lenses fit in front of the frame’s clear optical or prescription lenses. You can choose another color when you want a different look.
Start with a frame that fits well. Then match every spare lens to that frame’s shape: round lenses for AVIEW round frames, or square lenses for AVIEW square frames. Our guide to interchangeable lenses explains how the system works.
Pack lenses so each has its own space
Each included two-slot lens wallet holds one pair of colored lenses. The optional four-slot wallet holds two pairs. Place one lens in each slot so the surfaces do not rub together in your bag.
Keep the wallet somewhere easy to reach when you stop. Change lenses while safely parked, before continuing your journey. Choose eyewear suitable for the conditions and check product guidance about intended use.
Choose a color for your destination
A color is a viewing and style preference. It is not a guarantee of better driving vision or a treatment for a health condition. Compare the six options in our colored lens guide, and check each product’s specifications before buying.
