Collection: Ski mountaineering Glasses

Main Features of Ski Mountaineering Glasses

Lenses with UV and Direct Light Protection
The lenses are designed to provide comprehensive protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays, which are amplified at high altitudes. They also reduce glare and reflections from snow and ice, ensuring clear vision even in bright or highly reflective conditions. This protection minimizes eye strain, prevents snow blindness, and allows mountaineers to maintain focus and performance during long excursions.

Frame Resistant to Extreme Temperatures
Ski mountaineering involves exposure to a wide range of temperatures, from frigid alpine winds to intense sun at higher altitudes. The frames of these glasses are engineered to remain durable and flexible in both high and low temperatures, ensuring they do not crack, warp, or lose their shape in extreme conditions. This reliability is essential for long expeditions where gear failure is not an option.

Protection from Airborne Particles
High mountains are not only cold and sunny they also often feature blowing snow, ice dust, or wind-driven debris. The design of these glasses provides a secure seal that shields the eyes from air, dust, and ice particles, reducing discomfort and preventing potential irritation or injury during rapid descents or windy climbs.

Distortion-Free Vision
Accurate vision is critical when navigating challenging terrain. These glasses feature optically precise lenses that maintain a true, undistorted view of the environment. This allows mountaineers to judge distances, read slopes, and identify obstacles confidently, enhancing both safety and performance.

High Comfort Even During Prolonged Use
Ski mountaineering can involve long hours of activity, and comfort is key to maintaining focus and endurance. The glasses are designed with lightweight materials, ergonomic frame shapes, and soft contact points to ensure a comfortable fit throughout the day. This reduces pressure on the nose and temples, minimizes fatigue, and allows the wearer to concentrate fully on the climb or descent.

UV and Light Protection

For ski mountaineering, eye protection is the top priority. The high-altitude environment exposes mountaineers to intense sunlight, increased levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and reflections from snow and ice, all of which can cause eye strain, redness, and long-term damage. Ski mountaineering glasses must shield the eyes from both direct sunlight and reflected glare, ensuring safety and comfort during extended excursions.

DEMON’s mission is to provide mountaineers with glasses that combine superior protection with optimal visibility. By using advanced, technical lenses specifically engineered for high-altitude conditions, DEMON ensures that athletes can maintain clear, distortion-free vision throughout their day in the mountains. Proper lens technology also helps prevent the common symptoms of eye fatigue and redness that often result from inadequate eyewear in extreme environments.

Types of Lenses Offered by DEMON:

• Photochromic Polarized Lens (Category 2-4): Automatically adapts to changing light conditions, offering dynamic protection and reducing glare while enhancing contrast.
• Category 4 Lens: Provides maximum protection in very bright, high-altitude environments, perfect for sun-drenched peaks and glacier ascents.
• Polarized Lens: Reduces reflections and glare from snow and ice, delivering crisp and comfortable vision in bright conditions.

Each lens type is carefully designed to maintain optical clarity and distortion-free vision, even under the most challenging atmospheric conditions. Additionally, the lenses enhance contrast in monochromatic snow environments, making it easier to detect slopes, bumps, and changes in terrain critical for both safety and performance.

Frame Resistant to High and Low Temperatures

The frame of DEMON ski mountaineering glasses is crafted from TR90, a high-performance material composed of nylon reinforced with carbon fiber. This advanced construction makes the glasses approximately 20% lighter than conventional frames, providing both comfort and durability for long days on the mountain.

One of the key advantages of TR90 is its exceptional resistance to extreme temperatures. Unlike standard plastics, TR90 frames maintain their shape and structural integrity in both frigid alpine conditions and intense sun exposure. This means that the glasses will not deform, crack, or become brittle, even under the most demanding environmental stresses, ensuring reliable protection and long-lasting performance.

In addition to its durability, the TR90 material is hypoallergenic, making the glasses safe and comfortable for prolonged wear. Children and adults alike can use them for hours without irritation, pressure marks, or discomfort on the skin.

Wrap-Around Design for Enhanced Protection:
The DEMON frame also features a wrap-around design, which extends around the sides of the face to provide extra shielding. This design prevents cold air, ice dust, and snow particles from entering the eyes, which can be a common hazard during steep ascents, fast descents, or windy conditions. By keeping these elements out, the glasses maintain clear, unobstructed vision, helping mountaineers avoid distractions and dangerous situations caused by temporary visual impairment.

This combination of lightweight, temperature-resistant materials and an ergonomic protective design ensures that DEMON ski mountaineering glasses deliver both comfort and safety, enabling athletes to perform at their best while fully protected in extreme alpine environments.

Protective Accessories for Ski Mountaineering Glasses

Certain models of DEMON ski mountaineering glasses come with versatile protective accessories designed to enhance comfort, performance, and adaptability in challenging mountain conditions. These accessories can be assembled or removed as needed, allowing mountaineers to customize their glasses for different environments and activities.

Key accessories include:

• Sweat Sponge:
  A soft, absorbent sweat sponge is integrated into the frame to capture moisture from the forehead, preventing sweat from dripping into the eyes. This feature is especially useful during long ascents or intense physical activity, maintaining comfort and clear vision throughout the day.
• Elastic Drawstring:
  Some models include an adjustable elastic drawstring that ensures a secure fit around the head or helmet. This prevents the glasses from slipping during rapid movements, steep climbs, or fast descents, providing stability and confidence on every run.
• Removable Side Parts:
  Detachable side shields or panels offer additional protection from wind, ice dust, and snow. These removable components allow mountaineers to adapt the glasses to different weather conditions keeping eyes shielded in harsh environments or vented for more breathability when conditions are milder.

By offering these modular accessories, DEMON ski mountaineering glasses provide mountaineers with maximum flexibility. Athletes can tailor their eyewear to match specific weather conditions, activity intensity, and personal comfort preferences, ensuring optimal performance, protection, and convenience on every expedition.
