Inspecs have engineered these optical frames to the highest of standards. The materials are lightweight and flexible. The joints and hinges are constructed to very precise tolerances. Many of the processes are manufactured by hand so each frame gets inspected, in detail, at every stage of its construction.

Highlights of the collection include a range of eye sizes for choice, sprung hinges that act like shock absorbers, rubberised memory plastic arms, a pocket clip addition makes the glasses easy to hang on to, and four hypoallergenic coatings give the frame durability over a long lifetime to still come up bright and new each time they are cleaned.

An additional 6 new bespoke CAT optical styles are the foundation of this year's collection. A modern redesign of the classic double bridge style features twice in this latest collection (CTO6501 and 6502), rugged, hard wearing and durable frame fronts combine with high quality parts, such as spring hinges, to offer comfort, style and quality; .without compromise.

The main feature this season is the chevron-inspired temple design. Featured on styles CTO6503, 6504, 6505 and 6056 this unique concept was inspired by two design fundamentals, “how to make a frame more lightweight” and “how to make a frame fit more comfortably”. The cut out holes in the temple reduce the overall weight of the frame as solid pieces of surgical stainless steel are stamped out and removed. This also reduces the overall thickness of the arms, thus massively increasing the flexibility of the temples, without the need for a spring hinge.
