Airlock ELEMENT CHASSIS vs. Other Airlock Rimless Frames
Choosing between Airlock's rimless titanium frames often comes down to the CHASSIS system versus pre-configured models, and which design family best suits your face shape and budget.
ELEMENT CHASSIS vs. WISDOM CHASSIS
Both frames use Airlock's patented 3-piece compression mounting system and titanium construction, so the core benefits—ultra-light weight, durability, and prescription versatility—are identical. The ELEMENT CHASSIS features a rectangle lens shape that balances rounded facial features, while the WISDOM CHASSIS may offer different geometry better suited to other face shapes. At nearly identical price points ($170.46 for ELEMENT vs. $160.62–$170.46 for WISDOM), your choice should be based on which frame shape complements your face best. Try both if possible to see which rectangle or alternative shape feels more natural.
ELEMENT CHASSIS vs. SEVEN SIXTY CHASSIS
The SEVEN SIXTY CHASSIS delivers the same compression mounting technology and titanium benefits at a lower price ($139.70–$148.92), saving you $20-30. If you're budget-conscious but still want the CHASSIS system's customization advantages, the SEVEN SIXTY is worth considering. The ELEMENT CHASSIS sits at a slightly higher tier, which may reflect subtle differences in finishing or available colorways, but both offer the core Airlock experience: barely-there comfort and progressive-lens compatibility.
CHASSIS vs. Numbered Models (ELEMENT 200, 202, 203)
The key difference is customization. CHASSIS models like the ELEMENT CHASSIS accept a variety of lens shapes, making them ideal if you want to personalize the look or need specific lens geometry for complex prescriptions. Numbered models (ELEMENT 200, 202, etc.) come with pre-configured lens shapes, which can mean faster turnaround but less flexibility. If you know exactly what you want and value the ability to tailor lens shape to your face, the CHASSIS system is the better choice. If you prefer a ready-to-go option, the numbered ELEMENT models deliver the same titanium quality and rimless aesthetic.
Our recommendation: The ELEMENT CHASSIS is the best choice for customers who want maximum prescription flexibility (especially progressive wearers), prefer rectangle shapes, and value the ability to customize lens geometry. If budget is a priority and you don't need extensive customization, the SEVEN SIXTY CHASSIS offers excellent value. For those who want the ELEMENT look with less decision-making, the ELEMENT 200 or 202 models provide a streamlined alternative.
