Questions & Answers
Is the fitment of the CDI Adrenaline similar to the original CDI model? Expert Answer

The manufacturer does not state how the ESS High Adrenaline CDI Interchangeable Lens Sunglasses fitment compare to older models. I recommend contacting the manufacturer for that information.

The manufacturer only offers them in this configuration.
