Velans™ 2

  • Choosing the correct Nose Pad

    Choosing the correct Nose pad is essential for maximum performance. Your Velans™ 2 should sit close to your cheeks and brow (without touching), allowing air to flow whilst shielding your eyes from the wind.

    Nose Pad sizes

    3 Nose Pad sizes are included, numbered #1 to #3.

    #1 is the smallest nose piece, suited for those with larger noses.

    #3 is best suited to those with smaller noses and moves the frame further from your face.

    #2 is fitted to your Velans™ 2 as standard.

    Lens Fogging

    If your lens is fogging whilst exercising, there's not enough ventilation getting to the back side of the lens. Try moving up one Nose Pad size (#1 to #2, etc).

    Bouncing on Nose

    If your Velans™ 2 are bouncing on your nose, try moving up one Nose Pad size (#1 to #2, etc) and pressing on to your nose when you put them on. The hydrophilic properties of the Nose Pad will keep your Velans™ 2 in place when you sweat and work hard.

    Not enough wind coverage

    If you’re getting too much wind in your eyes, the frame is sitting too far from your face. Try moving down one Nose Pad size (#3 to #2, etc).

    Removing the Nose Pad

    To remove the Nose Pad, pull down on each side. Replace with the new Nose Pad best suited to your face shape. When attaching the new Nose Pad ensure the "SunGod" and number are on the outside, and the grip texture sits against your nose.

  • Changing your Velans 2 Lens

    The method for changing your Velans™ 2 lenses is the same as changing the previous Velans™ model, please follow the steps in the video below.

    Step 1: Remove the Lens from the Top Frame by pulling the Top Frame away at the mid-point above the “SunGod” engraving.

    Step 2: Remove the Nose Piece by pulling away from the Lens, first on one side then on the other.

    Step 3: Attach the Nose Piece to the new Lens. Push firmly to ensure it’s securely attached and seated centrally.

    Step 4: Attach the Lens into the Top Frame by first inserting both corners of the Lens into the pockets on the Top Frame near the hinge.

    Step 5: Work along the top of the Lens and firmly secure at the “SunGod” engraving.

    Step 6: For maximum performance use the provided 100% microfibre pouch to clean fingerprints and marks from your Lens.

  • Troubleshooting

    Helmet Compatibility

    Velans™ 2 have been designed to be compatible with all modern cycling helmet styles. Wear your Velans™ 2 over your helmet strap.

    If the ends of the arms are touching your helmet at the back, try moving up one Nose Pad size (#1 to #2, etc).

    Wind Coverage

    If you’re getting too much wind in your eyes, the frame is sitting too far from your face. Try moving down one Nose Pad size (#3 to #2, etc).

    Lens Ventilation

    If your lens is fogging whilst exercising, there's not enough ventilation getting to the back side of the lens. Try moving up one Nose Pad size (#1 to #2, etc).

    Bouncing on Nose

    If your Velans™ 2 are bouncing on your nose, try moving up one Nose Pad size (#1 to #2, etc) and pressing on to your nose when you put them on. The hydrophilic properties of the Nose Pad will keep your Velans™ 2 in place when you sweat and work hard.

    Slipping down your Nose

    The Nose Pads on your Velans™ 2 are made from a hydrophilic material (attracts water). As you start to sweat your Velans™ 2 will grip tighter to your nose. If they are slipping down your face whilst exercising, try pressing more firmly on to your nose. You can also try moving up one Nose Pad size (#1 to #2, etc).
