Thus obtaining the best view in all weather conditions, because as we all know, the mountain is unpredictable. The OUTDOOR model features polarized and mirrored photochromic lenses, a technical and aesthetic mix for the practice of any OUTDOOR activity.

CORRECTION OF VISUAL DEFECTS

Choosing the correct mountain prescription eyeglasses for your outdoor adventures is essential to be able to enjoy each excursion to the fullest.

In addition to the lenses described above, there are various models and types of technical glasses for the various disciplines.

The OUTDOOR model optic clip is very wide and supports not only mono focal lenses but also bifocal lenses (ideal for those who need a lens not only for distance vision, but also for near vision for reading instruments such as: GPS or smartphone).

The optic clip of the models: FUSION and INFINITE OPTIC by size is smaller and only supports single vision lenses for distance vision. These two models are suitable for trekking and hiking, however for those who practice mountaineering we recommend selecting  the OUTDOOR model.

MOUNTING GRADUATED LENSES:

An alternative to the choice of the optic clip is mounting graduated lens direct on the frame for the models: VISTA SPORT, SPECIAL and LAYER.

The VISTA SPORT model has the particularity of the wraparound frame, however by mounting the ocular supports the lens from base #8 will become a base #6 reducing the risk of lateral visual distortions and reducing the cost of the lenses.

It will therefore be possible to mount sun vision lenses to be able to practice both hiking and mountaineering and correcting any visual defect.

The SPECIAL and LAYER models, on the other hand, are real optical frames built with sports eyewear materials.

We recommend these models for those who practice hiking and trekking, however  as being less enveloping they protect less from air, side light, and bad weather that can be very annoying at high altitudes.

Ultra-light frames and resistant to high and low temperatures:

The mountain eyewear frames are made of TR90, a special composition of Nylon and Carbon Fiber, which makes Mountain Sunglasses 20% lighter than conventional materials and more resistant to accidental impacts and traction.

The TR90 proves to be the optimal material for the creation of eyeglasses for Mountain and Mountaineering because it has a better resistance at high and low temperatures.

For some models, we provide an adjustable elastic band in Neoprene to obtain greater fit and grip in the most demanding passages. Useful for climbing sections and for the practice of mountaineering.

Furthermore, depending on the model, the internal removable sweatband sponge in hypoallergenic rubber, to prevent drops of sweat from entering the eyes during the phases of greatest fatigue, as well as protecting from lateral sun rays. This technology appreciated particularly by those who practice Mountaineering.
