Flexon E1129 vs. Similar Flexon Frames
If you're considering the Flexon E1129, you might also be evaluating other Flexon memory metal frames. Here's how the E1129 compares to similar models in our collection.
E1129 vs. Flexon E1110
Both the E1129 and E1110 belong to Flexon's E-series line and share the same revolutionary memory metal technology in the bridge and temples. The E1110 is priced slightly higher ($126.67-$148.92) and may feature different design details, but both deliver the same core benefit: frames that flex and return to shape. The E1129 stands out with its distinctive waffle-tread temple design for enhanced grip, making it ideal if you lead an active lifestyle or need glasses that stay put during movement.
E1129 vs. Flexon 603
The Flexon 603 ($102.15) is part of Flexon's core numbered series and offers a more traditional aesthetic compared to the contemporary E-series styling of the E1129. Both feature full-rim metal construction and memory metal technology, but the E1129's lower starting price ($50) makes it more accessible while still delivering the same durability and flexibility. If you prefer modern design details and value pricing, the E1129 is the better choice.
E1129 vs. Flexon E1122
The E1122 ($121.60-$140.31) shares the E-series design DNA with the E1129, offering similar memory metal construction and contemporary styling. The key difference comes down to frame shape and specific design elements. The E1129's rectangular shape with 59mm lens width suits medium to large faces, while the E1122 may offer different sizing options. Both are excellent choices for professionals seeking durable, low-maintenance eyewear.
Why Choose the E1129?
The Flexon E1129 offers exceptional value with its combination of memory metal technology, modern rectangular styling, and accessible pricing starting at $50. The waffle-tread temple design provides superior grip compared to standard Flexon models, while the four matte color options (Navy, Gunmetal, Moss, Black) give you versatile styling choices. If you want proven Flexon durability with contemporary design at a competitive price, the E1129 delivers.
