ELASTIC STRAP FOR SPORTS GLASSES
The removable elastic strap is designed to improve stability and comfort when conditions become demanding and movement is continuous: wind, cold, dust, technical sections, and changes of pace can make glasses more prone to micro-movements. With the strap, the glasses stay closer to the face and more secure, improving protection and continuity of use.
Overview of the removable elastic strap
Some models in the sports eyewear collections for Mountain, Hiking, Mountaineering, and Ski Mountaineering come equipped with a removable elastic strap.
It is made of elastic material to improve comfort and stability even in the most critical conditions and difficult passages. It also keeps the glasses more stable and closer to the face during use, helping protect the eyes more effectively from: air, cold, dust, and various debris that the athlete may encounter along the route.
In practice, the strap works on two levels: it keeps the fit more stable when movement is intense, and it helps reduce micro-movements caused by wind or repeated stress. This can make the experience more comfortable and more “consistent,” especially when you do not want to interrupt your activity to reposition your glasses.
When it is especially useful
On climbs and ridgelines in windy conditions, on technical sections, over uneven terrain, or whenever you wear your glasses for many hours and want maximum stability and protection.
Adjustment and attachment points
The elastic strap is equipped with an adjustment slider that allows the athlete to adjust it as desired for perfect comfort while wearing the glasses.
Different types are available for the various models in the collection; generally, it features 2 attachment points that are inserted into the dedicated section on the temple.
Correct adjustment should not “pull” too tightly: the goal is to keep the glasses stable without creating pressure. When the tension is set properly, you get a more precise fit and a more secure feel in critical sections.
Correct tension
Adjust for stability without excessive compression.
Attachment
Insert the attachment points into the dedicated section on the temple.
Check while moving
Test the fit in motion and fine-tune the adjustment if needed.
Universal straps: compatibility and practicality
A universal elastic strap in soft hypoallergenic neoprene is also available in the collection and can be fitted to any glasses on the market. It can be inserted onto the end part of the temple of any glasses and works exactly like the first elastic strap described above.
It can not only be used together with the glasses to increase comfort and stability, but it can also be used when the glasses are not being worn to avoid losing them.

A second universal elastic strap is also available in the collection and can be installed on any glasses on the market. Unlike the neoprene strap, it has a different temple attachment and can also be installed on thicker temples.
This one can also be used when the glasses are not being worn to help prevent them from being lost. During use, it improves comfort and stability.

Universal versions are also useful as an “anti-loss” solution: when the glasses are not being worn, they remain easier to manage and you reduce the risk of losing them during breaks, pace changes, or movement.
