    Elasta alternative

    Does anyone know of a good brand that is comparable to Elasta?

    Why? Are you losing Elasta? Elasta is good stuff.

    There are other frames that kinda-sorta fit that niche...better material (stainless), excellent spring hinge, durable, but I can only think of the lesser-expensive Flexon frames.

    It's not necessarily an elasta alternative but we do really well with Aristar from charmant. The titanium frames do really well for us too. 5 year manufacturing warranty too which is nice.

    Our Safilo rep just informed us they are discontinuing the Safilo 2.0 line. Those hinges were pretty neat and indestructible but the proprietary nosepad system was a bad design decision.

    The Elasta line is a great core product imo.

    My Kingdom for Safilo to bring back the E 4119 small oval!

    My unmatched unisex frame through the years to fit extreme scripts to most faces!!

    Our rep is frustrated as well.

    Help me make some noise next time an Elasta rep is in!!!
