INCLUDED PARTS
I. ASSEMBLED EYEWEAR PART LIST
Each pair of Daywolf®Septentrial™ eyewear consists of 33 assembled
parts/components (including eight optional parts). These parts include:
1. Seven Titanium Frame Pieces. These parts forming the frame are made
from aerospace Grade 5 titanium (made from 89.55% titanium, 6%
aluminum, 4% vanadium, and 0.45% iron/oxygen). These pieces are highly
heat and corrosion resistant. These parts are die cast, drilled, tapped, and
polished, then optionally anodized and/or plated.
2. Two Lenses. The lenses are approximately 57 mm wide x 36 mm tall. The
lenses may vary in thickness with material used from 1.5 mm to 2.2 mm,
with the safety lenses being thicker. The lens color and specifications vary
with user preferences, some lenses being polarized and alternatively

fabricated from nylon, polycarbonate, Tri Acetate Cellulose (TAC), or other
materials.
3. Eight Screws. Eight stainless steel screws bolt the frames together. Each
of these screws uses a 1.5 mm hex key (or hex screwdriver). Specifications
for replacement screws are provided below. These screws include four 3
mm wide set screws for the nose bridge and the jack screw mechanism on
the rearward hinges, as well as four shoulder screws for the forward and
rearward hinges.
4. Four Pads/Megals. These pads include two sleeves for the arms and two
pads on the nose bridge. These pads are formed from heat- and oil-
resistant silicone and polymeric materials in approximately Shore 80A
durometer. These pads are replaceable and typically adhered to the
frames.
5. Two Flex Pads (Optional). Two polymeric pads may optionally be disposed
within the forward hinges against which the cantilevered forward arms

press, allowing the arms to flex. These pads are not currently included
with most orders, but are optionally available from Daywolf®for smaller
head sizes.
6. Eight Nylon Washers (Optional). Eight ultra-thin nylon washers position
within the frames, two at each of the four hinges. These washers are 0.15
mm thick and allow the hinges to be opened and closed repeatedly during
use without torqueing (and axially rotating and loosening) the screws.
These washers also mitigate friction between the titanium frame parts.
These washers are optional because they are not necessary for function of
the eyewear and some users prefer the hinges to be stiffer without the
washers. Currently, Daywolf®eyewear is assembled with washers in the
forward hinges only (the washers in the rearward hinges being optional).
7. Two Shock Absorbers (Optional). Each of the lens grooves in the orbital
are configured to optionally receive an elongated polymeric shock
absorber similar to a rubber band. These shock absorbers are adapted

prevent lenses from cracking when the eyewear is dropped and to ease
tensile force applied to the lenses when the forward hinges are tightened
down, as well as to ensure tight lens positioning within the eyewear. The
shock absorbers are optional and may be inserted or replaced with lenses
as necessary.
II. PACKAGING COMPONENT LIST
Each order of Daywolf®Septentrial eyewear is shipped in a box which, at the time
of this publication, is intended to consist of the following items:
1. Cylindrical Two-Piece Box. A cylindrical two-piece box for housing the
eyewear and all accessory parts. The box is three inches in diameter by
approximately eight inches in length. The box is labeled exteriorly with
four separate labels, each comprising the Daywolf®logos, bar codes,

graphic design and proprietary information, as well as lens and frame
configuration information.
2. Eyewear. Each box contains one pair of Daywolf®Septentrial glasses
described above.
3. Replacement Lenses. Each box should contain a plurality of replacement
lenses of varying colors and materials, including at least one pair of
polarized lenses. If any of these lenses are foggy, please remove the
protective film protecting the obverse and reverse surfaces, which may be
difficult to see. The protective covering is left on the lenses to prevent
scratching.
4. User Manual.Each box should contain this user manual which is 3.5
inches by 6 inches.
5. Polishing Cloth. A polishing cloth bearing the Daywolf®stylized logo is
included, which is approximately five inches by five inches.

6. Service Pack / Replacement Parts. Each box should contain a plurality of
replacement parts, including screws and pads of varying colors.
7. Hex Key. A small hex key is included for adjusting and screwing the eight
screws incorporated into the frames. We recommend using a larger key
(i.e., aftermarket screwdriver) for regular maintenance if available. This key
is included for emergencies and is less than 60 mm in length.
8. Accessories. The box may contain aftermarket accessories if ordered by
the user. Some after market accessories ordered by users from Daywolf®
are simply inserted into the box during shipping, including extra lenses,
service packs, carrying pouches, neck cords, floats, receipts, and the like.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
INDESTRUCTIBLE ACTION SPORT TITANIUM SUNGLASSES
Each pair of Daywolf® glasses are formed from a seven-piece bolted
titanium alloy frame with six optionally-vulcanized, oil-resistant
thermoplastic pads optionally color-coordinated to match the lenses.
Daywolf® aims to serve a market segment abandoned and untended by
today’s titanic sunglass conglomerate(s): those seeking stylized, high-
strength, virtually unbreakable metal eyewear. In a world where other
sunglass manufacturers have focused solely on reducing weight and unit
costs to produce cheap plastic gimmicks, Daywolf® revives quality and
ravages innovations of the past.
FACE THE DAY

Daywolf®eyewear includes organic, vented surfacing contoured to minimize
air flow causing watery eyes during high-speed sporting activities like skiing,
motorcycling and boating. Lightweight plastic sunglasses often blow off
users’ faces and are lost during action sports events. Daywolf® eyewear
features a second hinge on the arms, rearward of the first, having a jack screw
adjustable to vary the fit of the glasses and accommodate different-size
heads. This adjustability likewise gives users control over the compressive
force the glasses apply to the head, allowing a user to increase this applied
force to keep the glasses more securely in place during athletic or
powersport activities. Daywolf®glasses are designed to optionally flex at the
arm connection points (rather than through the nose bridge) to keep the
angle of the lenses relative to the surface of any wearer’s eyes static. The
terminal ends of each arm are apertured to affix to a retaining chain or cord
(aftermarket) which circumscribes the head and allows the eyewear to hang
from a user’s neck. This also permits the eyewear to detachably affix to floats
AT ONE WITH THE RISING SUN

to keep the glasses from sinking in water. The lens grooves in the eyewire/orbital
components are designed to accommodate lenses over 2 mm thick; far stronger
than lenses found in other sunglasses.
Daywolf®had one goal in mind when creating the eyewear: to develop the most
durable, high precision, artfully crafted titanium eyewear ever to reach the
market. To this end, customers of Daywolf®can expect an everlasting, stylized
piece; built to tolerances of only thousandths of a millimeter; available in a variety
of polished, anodized or plated frame colors, lens colors, and pad colors (polarized
and non-polarized). Two-tone frame variations will be available, including black-
gold, black and chrome combinations, allowing further customization.
Competing titanium eyepieces currently in production are typically formed from
stamped sheet metal and do not compare.
TRYST WITH LIGHT

Motorcyclists, golfers, shooters and bikers wearing plastic eyewear have been
blinded by flying rocks, branches, bullet casings, and golf balls (which pass through
aviator and wayfarer glasses). Daywolf’s frames are dimensioned so that golf balls
will not easily pass through the eyewires/orbitals. There is a need on the part of
powersports enthusiasts for sunglasses which are strong, rather than only
lightweight.

FIT AND UPKEEP
I. Eyewear Fit & Tightness
The frames are designed to be approximately 130 mm wide in the open position.
This is the size that a typical male about 6’1” in height with a standard head size
requires, but should fit typically males between 5’9” and 6’3”. The frames are
designed to apply higher than average tension to heads of wearers to keep the
frames secure during powersports.
If the frames feel tight upon purchase, the frames will relax over the first seven
hours of wear. The frames are also tighter with stiffer lenses. To loosen the fit,
please ensure the jack screws in the rearward hinges are entirely retracted and
that the rearward hinges are entirely open. If necessary, tensile force can be

applied by hand to the open arms to further increase the fit (meaning the arms
can be pulled apart and held momentarily to relax the fit). Titanium is inherently
springy, and typically returns to its originally molded form, but can be bent slight
with force.
The Daywolf® frames are uniquely modular, meaning parts can be swapped in and
out. Daywolf®sells aftermarket flex pads which position within the forward hinges
to reduce the fit, as well as extra-wide nose bridges which add 8 mm width to the
open fit and which may be preferred by African American wearers or wearers over
6’3” – 6’4” inches in height. Additionally, extra-wide arms are also available through
Daywolf®which add an additional 10 mm to the fit. Configuring the frames with
the extra-wide nose bridge and the extra-wide arms should add 18 mm to the
open fit and allow the frames to fit wearers up to 7’ in height.

II. Maintaining Tight Frames
Like all metal eyewear comprising bolts or screws, the screws may loosen over
time particularly if the arms and opened and closely regularly. Daywolf®advises
against closing the arms unless necessary when resting the eyewear on desks or in
residences. The forward hinges in the frames each consist of two ultra-thin nylon
washers which should allow easy rotation (opening and closing of the arms), even
when the screws are very tight. These washers also help prevent the screws from
loosening during use. Wearers not regularly closing the arms may wish to the
remove the washers from the hinges, which will stiffen the rotation of the arms.
The eight screws in the frames are all driven by a 1.5 mm hex key. A small 1.5 hex
key (or hex screwdriver) is included with every order. Wearers should regularly
tighten the screws in the frames (particularly during the first few weeks) to ensure

they do not become loose, particularly the set screw in the nose bridge, which can
loosen and release the orbitals from the nose bridge.
