Glacier glasses – protection where the sun shines brightest

Glacier glasses – protection where the sun shines brightest

At high altitudes, the sun is relentless. UV radiation is much stronger there than in the valley, and the reflection of snow makes the light even more intense. A good pair of glacier glasses therefore provides full protection against UVA and UVB radiation, keeping your eyes optimally protected from corneal and retinal damage.

The lenses are extra dark with a light transmission of only 3-8%, ideal for use in snow and high mountains. Only a Category 4 lens can effectively reduce the glare of sun and snow and keep your vision comfortable, even in extremely bright light.

In addition, side protectors or a sealing foam layer are indispensable. They block sunlight, wind and snow from the side, keeping your vision clear in every direction. Thanks to clever ventilation and an anti-fog coating, the glasses also remain free of fogged lenses, even during intense efforts.

In short, with glacier glasses from Specialspex, you’ll be ready for any high-mountain adventure – with clear vision, maximum comfort and protection your eyes deserve.

Glacier prescription glasses

Even if you need prescription glasses, you can safely venture into the mountains. Many glacier glasses are available with prescription lenses or can be fitted with an insert clip with corrective lenses. This way you combine the maximum protection of a category 4 lens with sharp and comfortable vision. At Specialspex, prescription sports glasses are fully customized for your eyes and mountain use, so you always have optimal vision while climbing, hiking or alpine skiing.

At Specialspex you can find glacier goggles designed specifically for alpine conditions and also available with prescription lenses. So you go into the mountains well prepared – with maximum protection, optimal vision and comfort during every trip.
