Choosing the Right CliC Headband: Soft or Rigid?

Your days look different from everyone else’s—so why should your glasses be the same? CliC’s unique eyewear gives you two great headband options: rigid for sturdiness and durability, and soft for comfort and flexibility. Each permanent headband is designed for all-day wear and built right into the frame—so it stays put and fits how you live.

Not sure which one fits your routine best? We’ve got answers.

Q: I’m constantly on the move—working outside, hiking, building things, or just running errands. I need eyewear that stays put and can handle the pace.

A: Go with a rigid headband. Designed for durability and structure, rigid styles are ideal for people who are active, on-the-go, or tough on their gear. Whether you're tackling a project or spending the day outdoors, these frames stay secure and hold their shape. Plus, the magnetic front connection makes them easy to take on and off—no fuss, no slipping.

 

Q: I wear my CliCs more casually—reading, working on my computer, relaxing, maybe doing a crossword. I also have longer hair and want something that won’t snag or feel restrictive.

A: The soft headband is your best bet. Flexible, lightweight, and hair-friendly, it’s perfect for low-key moments, light daily use, and travel. It folds neatly into a compact case, making it easy to store or toss in your bag. If comfort is your priority, this headband style delivers.

 

Q: I’m not sure—I use my glasses a lot, but I also want them to be comfortable. How do I choose?

A: It depends on what you do most. If you're in active, hands-on environments, choose rigid. If you prioritize comfort, portability, and ease, go with soft. Both headband types deliver all the classic CliC features you love.

We’ve covered the big questions—but let’s not stop there. Since we’re already deep in the details, we thought we’d clear up a few more things our customers often ask. Think of it as a bonus round—so you can see things a little more clearly (pun absolutely intended). From headband permanence to prescription options, here’s what you need to know:

Q: Can I switch between headband styles—rigid one day, soft the next?

A: Nope. Each frame is built with a permanent headband designed specifically for that style. That means you’ll want to choose the type that best fits your lifestyle right from the start. Many of our customers even have one of each for different activities!

Q: Are both headband types available in prescription lenses?

A: Yes! We offer prescription lenses through CliC Rx. Customize your lenses to fit your exact needs.

Q: Do they come with cases? 

A: Yes—they do now! Both rigid and soft styles have case options available to keep your CliCs protected when not in use. Just pick the one that fits your style and needs.

Still deciding? Here’s a quick comparison to help you land on the style that fits your lifestyle. Just remember: headbands are permanent—not interchangeable—so choose the one that works best for you from the start.

Soft Headband at a Glance
Relaxed, flexible, and hair-friendly—our soft headbands are made for comfort and ease. They’re ideal for reading on the couch, working from home, or slipping into your travel bag. Long-haired wearers especially love this style for its tangle-free design. Plus, it folds neatly into a compact case, making it as portable as it is comfortable.

 

Rigid Headband at a Glance
Strong, sturdy, and ready for action—rigid headbands are built for durability. Perfect for hands-on work, outdoor activities, or busy, high-energy days, this style holds its shape and stays secure no matter what your day demands. It's the go-to for people who are tough on their gear and need eyewear that can keep up.
