❓ Why Fit Matters with Hats and Visors

  1. Comfort: Frames that collide with a hat’s brim cause pressure, slippage, and headaches.

  2. Vision Integrity: Gaps between frames and visors lead to unwanted glare.

  3. Stability: Bouncing lens frames ruin focus during fast-paced play.

  4. Style Factor: Overlapping frames look sloppy—coordination matters.
