Collection: Ski mountaineering Goggles

Ski mountaineering goggles

Ski mountaineering goggles by DEMON are designed to withstand the challenges of the mountain in all light and atmospheric conditions.

Ski mountaineering is an increasingly popular discipline that combines adrenaline with total immersion in nature. For those who love snow and mountains, it represents the ultimate freedom.

Choosing the right materials for your equipment is essential, as greater caution is required in high-altitude environments. Every ski mountaineer seeks safe, high-performance materials and technologies to maximize enjoyment at every moment of their expedition.

How to Best Protect Your Eyes

To protect your eyes during the climbing phase, we offer a line of technical sunglasses designed for high-altitude conditions, suitable for very sunny, moderately sunny, and cloudy weather.

For descents and ascents in specific light conditions, ski mountaineering goggles are often used. They provide enhanced protection against wind and the fresh snow kicked up by skis or snowboards.

Below, you’ll find a guide on which lenses perform best based on various light and atmospheric conditions.

Ascent and Descent During Snowfall

Climbing during snowfall can be challenging for the eyes due to poor visibility and the monochromatic nature of the snow, which immerses you in a sea of white. In such cases, it's crucial to enhance safety by using transparent lenses that act as a protective barrier, preventing snow from reaching your eyes without darkening your vision.

DEMON has developed two ski mountaineering goggles with transparent lenses, perfect for these specific light conditions.

Climbing in Poor Light Conditions

For climbing in particularly low light conditions, it is advisable to use goggles with transparent lenses instead of regular glasses.

Descent in Cloudy and Sunny Weather

The descent is the most exhilarating part of ski mountaineering, where adrenaline surges, the wind picks up, and the thrill of carving through fresh snow takes over. These elements heighten the excitement, allowing the ski mountaineer to fully enjoy the experience.

Having perfect vision is essential during the descent. Ski mountaineering goggles must enable athletes to see every bump, dip, and ripple in the snow and ice throughout their descent.

On cloudy days, we recommend high-contrast orange lenses, which are also ideal for shaded areas where brightness can drop suddenly.

To cater to this need, DEMON has developed multiple models of ski mountaineering goggles featuring orange lenses, making them a popular choice among enthusiasts of the sport.

FUTURE OTG Technology

The FUTURE model stands out from other options because it features OTG (Over The Glasses) technology. With a specially designed internal sponge and a unique mold shape, it accommodates an optical frame seamlessly.

BIG SKY Goggles

BIG SKY is the ski mountaineering goggle tailored for athletes who require prescription lenses. It can be worn comfortably over your optical frame.

These goggles support larger optical frames, with dimensions such as 14.00 cm in width and 5.00 cm in height fitting perfectly.

Descent in Very Sunny Weather

In extremely bright conditions where an orange lens may feel too light, it’s advisable to use tinted lenses, such as internal smoke lenses. These lenses provide better visual comfort in intense light, which can be amplified by reflective icy surfaces.

For athletes encountering these challenging conditions, DEMON has developed technical models featuring smoke lenses with strong external mirrors. These models offer practicality without compromising on style.

Like the FUTURE model, the ALPINER features OTG (Over The Glasses) technology, allowing for simultaneous use with an optical frame.

HELMET COMPATIBILITY

A crucial factor that should not be underestimated is the compatibility of ski mountaineering goggles with helmets. Each goggle in the collection is meticulously designed to ensure a perfect fit with every type of helmet.

We prioritize this aspect, emphasizing safety as our foremost concern in the design process, closely followed by comfort.
