An eyewear article (100, 200), comprising: a temple piece (110, 210, 310) extending rearwardly from a front of an eyewear article comprising a flexing portion (120, 220, 320) having a radius of curvature p that is parallel to a transverse plane of the eyewear article, said transverse plane bisecting the eyewear article horizontally into imaginary upper and lower halves; an attachment portion, the temple piece (110, 210, 310) being rotatably secured to the attachment portion, and wherein the radius of curvature p of the flexing portion (120, 220, 320) at a distance 30 mm from the attachment portion along the length of the temple piece is between 20 mm and 80 mm, when the temple piece (110, 210) is in an unflexed state; wherein the flexing portion comprises first and second longitudinally disposed ribs (125, 126; 225, 226; 325, 326), each rib having a first, inner and a second, outer major surfaces (S1 and S2), a thickness t, a length 1 in the longitudinal direction of the rib, and a height h in a direction perpendicular to each of thickness and length; wherein the first and second ribs comprise inner peripheral edges that define a slot (129, 229. 329) extending between portions of first and second ribs, wherein when the temple piece (110, 210) is in an unflexed state, the first rib (125, 226) is angularly disposed with respect to the second rib (126, 226) having regard to a plane parallel to a mid-sagittal plane, said mid-sagittal plane dividing eyewear article into imaginary left and right halves, and such that the first and/or the second major surface of the first rib form(s) an angle (θ1, θ3) with the first and/or the second major surface of the second rib, respectively, that is less than 175°; and wherein the first and second ribs (125, 126; 225, 226; 325, 326) rotate relative to one another when the flexing portion (120, 220, 320) is flexed to accommodate the head of a user, such that when the temple piece (110, 210, 310) is in a flexed state, the first and/or the second major surface of the first rib define(s) an angle (θ2, θ4) with the first and/or the second major surface of the second rib, respectively, which is greater than the angle (θ1, θ3) defined by the respective surfaces when the temple piece is in an unflexed state, and wherein in the flexed state, the respective angle (θ2, θ4) has a value closer to 180° than the respective angle (θ1, θ3) in the unflexed state, so that in the flexed state, the respective surfaces are closer to parallel. a temple piece (110, 210, 310) extending rearwardly from a front of an eyewear article comprising a flexing portion (120, 220, 320) having a radius of curvature p that is parallel to a transverse plane of the eyewear article, said transverse plane bisecting the eyewear article horizontally into imaginary upper and lower halves; an attachment portion, the temple piece (110, 210, 310) being rotatably secured to the attachment portion, and wherein the radius of curvature p of the flexing portion (120, 220, 320) at a distance 30 mm from the attachment portion along the length of the temple piece is between 20 mm and 80 mm, when the temple piece (110, 210) is in an unflexed state; wherein the flexing portion comprises first and second longitudinally disposed ribs (125, 126; 225, 226; 325, 326), each rib having a first, inner and a second, outer major surfaces (S1 and S2), a thickness t, a length 1 in the longitudinal direction of the rib, and a height h in a direction perpendicular to each of thickness and length; wherein the first and second ribs comprise inner peripheral edges that define a slot (129, 229. 329) extending between portions of first and second ribs, wherein when the temple piece (110, 210) is in an unflexed state, the first rib (125, 226) is angularly disposed with respect to the second rib (126, 226) having regard to a plane parallel to a mid-sagittal plane, said mid-sagittal plane dividing eyewear article into imaginary left and right halves, and such that the first and/or the second major surface of the first rib form(s) an angle (θ1, θ3) with the first and/or the second major surface of the second rib, respectively, that is less than 175°; and wherein the first and second ribs (125, 126; 225, 226; 325, 326) rotate relative to one another when the flexing portion (120, 220, 320) is flexed to accommodate the head of a user, such that when the temple piece (110, 210, 310) is in a flexed state, the first and/or the second major surface of the first rib define(s) an angle (θ2, θ4) with the first and/or the second major surface of the second rib, respectively, which is greater than the angle (θ1, θ3) defined by the respective surfaces when the temple piece is in an unflexed state, and wherein in the flexed state, the respective angle (θ2, θ4) has a value closer to 180° than the respective angle (θ1, θ3) in the unflexed state, so that in the flexed state, the respective surfaces are closer to parallel.
