FULL SPEED AHEAD
To show just how tough the Cocoons polarized fit-over glasses are, Live Eyewear has released a video to show the strength and durability of the frames…by running them over with a car. The video, which features the Slim Line model, goes beyond the in-person bend-and-flex demonstration to show how truly resilient the frames are. ECPs can share the video, available on the Cocoons website and YouTube channel, with consumers via social media channels and on their websites.
