Is this frame really as light as claimed?

Yes. The titanium frame weighs about 1.8 grams, among the lightest rimless frames available. Most wearers stop noticing it within minutes.

Does the screwless hinge need maintenance?

No screws means nothing to tighten. The hinge is a sprung design that holds tension; if it loosens, an optician can adjust it.

Rimless frames need lenses drilled for mounting. High-index lenses work well, but very strong prescriptions may be too thick for the clean look.

Both are titanium rimless frames. The Silhouette is lighter and simpler; Lindberg offers more temple and shape options.

The frame and a hard case. Lenses are fitted separately by an optician.

Not really. Rimless lenses are exposed, so a dedicated sport frame is safer for contact sports.
