Flexon FLX1000MGC CLIP vs. Complete Magnetic Frame Sets
The FLX1000MGC CLIP is a clip-on accessory designed for the Flexon FLX1000 base frame, while the 810MAG SET and 806MAG SET are complete eyewear systems that include both the prescription frame and magnetic clip-on sunglasses. Understanding this distinction is key to making the right choice.
FLX1000MGC CLIP: Best for Existing FLX1000 Owners
If you already own the Flexon FLX1000 base frame, the FLX1000MGC CLIP at $84.92 is the most cost-effective way to add magnetic sunglasses functionality. You get the same polarized UV protection and secure magnetic attachment without purchasing an entirely new frame system. The full-rim rectangle design holds higher prescriptions securely and offers maximum durability.
810MAG SET: Alternative Rectangle Option
The Flexon 810MAG SET ($197.54) offers a complete package with both prescription frame and magnetic clip-on included. It's a better choice if you're starting from scratch or want a different rectangle frame style. However, the higher price reflects the complete system—if you only need the clip-on accessory, the FLX1000MGC CLIP delivers the same magnetic technology at a fraction of the cost.
806MAG SET: Semi-Rimless Alternative
The Flexon 806MAG SET ($197.54) features a semi-rimless wire frame design that's lighter and more minimalist than the FLX1000's full-rim construction. It's ideal for those who prefer a barely-there look or work in professional environments. The trade-off is that semi-rimless frames may not hold very high prescriptions as securely as full-rim designs, and the complete set costs more than twice the FLX1000MGC CLIP alone.
Our Recommendation
Choose the FLX1000MGC CLIP if you already own the FLX1000 base frame or prefer the full-rim rectangle style at an accessible price point. Opt for the 810MAG SET if you want a complete system with a different rectangle frame design. Select the 806MAG SET if you prefer a semi-rimless, minimalist aesthetic and don't mind the higher investment. All three options deliver Flexon's legendary memory metal durability and secure magnetic clip-on technology.
