A Rex Specs Lens Wrap is a simple accessory that adds an extra layer of protection to your dog's goggles. Whether you're heading into dusty trails or storing your gear between adventures, knowing how to attach and remove it correctly keeps your goggles working longer and your dog comfortable.
This guide walks you through each step, highlights common mistakes, and shows how the wrap works with other Rex Specs gear like replacement lenses and strap extenders.
What Is the Rex Specs Lens Wrap and When Should You Use It?
The Lens Wrap is designed to cover the lens of your Rex Specs goggles when they're not in use or during transit. It helps prevent scratches, dust, and debris from marring the lens surface. While the goggles themselves are built tough, the wrap adds a low-cost layer of protection that can extend the life of your lenses.
Use the wrap whenever you're stowing the goggles in a backpack, bag, or drawer. It's also handy if you're switching between lens tints for different conditions and want to keep the spare lens clean. The wrap complements the V2 Replacement Lenses, which come in nine shades, so you can keep your current tint safe while swapping.
- Attach the wrap before storing goggles to prevent scratches.
- Use it when traveling to keep dust and grit off the lens.
How the Lens Wrap Works with Goggle Sizes
The Lens Wrap is designed to fit specific goggle models and sizes, so check compatibility before purchasing. If your dog wears a size that requires a Strap Extender, the wrap still fits over the lens independently of the strap, so you don't need to adjust anything on the wrap itself.
For goggles that use a Strap Extender, attach the extender before putting on the wrap. The wrap fits over the lens and frame, not the strap, so the order matters for a smooth operation. Always ensure the wrap is fully seated around the frame edges to avoid exposed areas.
Step-by-Step: Attach the Lens Wrap
- Start with clean hands and a clean lens: Wash and dry your hands before handling the wrap or goggles. Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust or smudges from the lens surface. This prevents dirt from getting trapped between the wrap and lens. Clean hands and lens prevent scratches and smudges.
- Align the wrap with the goggle frame: Hold the wrap so that the opening matches the shape of the goggle lens. Place one edge of the wrap over the top of the frame, then slowly press the rest of the wrap around the lens, ensuring it sits flat against the frame edges. Proper alignment avoids gaps and ensures full coverage.
- Press firmly around the edges: Run your fingers along the perimeter of the wrap to smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles. Ensure the wrap is securely attached and doesn't shift easily. If the wrap feels loose, remove and reapply with more even pressure. A snug fit prevents the wrap from rubbing against the lens during storage.
- Check the lens visibility and fit: If the wrap covers any part of the lens opening or obstructs vision, adjust it immediately. The wrap should cover only the frame and not the optical zone. For goggles with a Strap Extender, confirm the wrap doesn't bunch near the strap attachment points. Always verify that the lens remains fully usable.
- Remove and store properly: To remove, gently peel the wrap off starting from one corner. Avoid pulling forcefully to prevent stretching. Store the wrap flat in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its shape. Proper removal and storage extend the wrap's life.
Gear That Works with the Lens Wrap
- V2 Replacement Lenses: All of our lenses are impact resistant and UV 400 rated, blocking 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. When you're swapping lenses for different conditions, using the Lens Wrap on the spare keeps it undamaged and ready to go.
- Strap Extender: Rex Specs LG strap extenders add 4 inches to the main strap, and are compatible with sizes XL, L, M and SW goggles. Rex Specs SM strap extenders add 3 inches to the main strap, and are compatible with sizes SM and XS goggles. If your dog needs a longer strap, attach the extender before the wrap so the fit stays secure and the wrap doesn't interfere with the strap connection.
With the Lens Wrap properly attached, your dog's goggles stay protected between adventures. Pair it with the right replacement lenses and strap extenders to keep the whole system working smoothly. If you need more help, check our other guides on goggle sizing and lens care.
