What size should I order?

The classic case will fit most glasses and sunglasses. The XL was designed with Aviator and Wayfarer sunglasses in mind – glasses with larger lenses that need more space inside. The rubber inner and shape of the mould means that movement is minimised and cushioned. So even if your glasses are a little smaller than the case, your glasses will still receive maximum protection.

 

What is an Ayres case made of and how is it made?

The outer casing starts out as a block of aerospace-grade 7000 series aluminium which is precision cut into the Ayres shape using state-of-the-art CNC technology.

 

The protective rubber layer inside each case is made from Envirolast – a reconstructed rubber that’s made from rubber tyres that that come to the end of their life. The Envirolast is reformed and moulded into the perfect shape for an Ayres case – giving the tyres a second lease of life and your glasses the protection they need.

 

 

USAGE AND CARE

How should I care for my case?

An Ayres case comes with a lifetime guarantee and an unbreakable promise. It can take anything you can throw at it. But there are a few things noted below that you can do to make sure it stays at its very best for the longest.

 

How should I clean my case?

The best way to clean both the outer and inner is with a damp cloth of hot soapy water. Then thoroughly wipe it with a dry cloth to finish off. While surface sprays are also effective, they may damage the product when used over a long period of time.

 

How do I stop the outer case from corroding?

Aluminium doesn’t rust, but it may corrode. This should only happen if it’s exposed to salt water or chlorinated water, if you try to keep it dry the outer should withstand pretty much anything else.

 

Is the Ayres case waterproof?

The seal is not watertight so it’s not suitable to be submerged. Putting the Ayres case into sea water or chlorinated water will corrode the metal.
