MOUNTAIN GLASSES WITH PHOTOCHROMIC MIRRORED LENSES 2-4 - ALTAVIA MODEL
The ALTAVIA model from DEMON is a blend of technology and innovation, designed to ensure maximum eye protection during mountain hikes and mountaineering. Equipped with high-quality photochromic mirrored lenses, these glasses automatically adjust to varying light conditions, shielding your eyes from harmful UV rays and providing optimal vision even in extreme environments.
Essential Protection for Outdoor Activities
For hikers and mountaineers, eye protection is crucial. The intense sunlight and reflections off mountain surfaces, such as rocks, snow, and glaciers, can be extreme, leading to discomfort and potential eye damage if not properly shielded. Wearing inadequate glasses can result in symptoms like tearing, eye strain, and, in severe cases, snow blindness. This is why DEMON developed the ALTAVIA model, fitted with state-of-the-art photochromic lenses that automatically adapt to changing light conditions throughout your hike.
Photochromic Mirrored Lenses 2-4: Exceptional Adaptability and Performance
The photochromic 2-4 mirrored lenses of the ALTAVIA model are ideal for mountaineering and hiking. These lenses dynamically adjust to the amount of light in your surroundings, offering a flexible defense against sunlight and ensuring maximum visual comfort in any condition.
The base tint of the lenses is a light grey, providing clear and comfortable vision even in shaded or moderately lit environments, such as forest trails or shadowed mountain areas. As the light intensifies, especially at high altitudes, the lenses darken to category 4, offering protection similar to that used for high-altitude and glacier settings.
At their darkest, the mirrored lenses take on a bold red hue, providing effective glare protection while giving the glasses a modern, aggressive look. The mirrored coating further reduces direct sunlight reflection, improving visibility in bright conditions.
Advantages of Photochromic Lenses for Hiking and Mountaineering
The photochromic 2-4 lenses are specifically designed for maximum adaptability in mountain environments, where light can shift rapidly from shade to intense sun. This adaptive system eliminates the need to switch glasses or remove them during your hike, providing continuous clear and protected vision. The reversible chemical reaction triggered by UV rays allows the lenses to darken gradually and return to their original state when light decreases.
This technology is particularly useful in mountain sports, where light conditions can change quickly. Whether traversing dense forests or climbing sun-exposed slopes, ALTAVIA’s lenses automatically adjust, ensuring perfect and safe vision at all times.
TR90 Frame: Lightweight, Durable, and Comfortable
The ALTAVIA model’s frame is made from TR90, a special combination of nylon and carbon fiber that makes the glasses exceptionally lightweight and durable. TR90 is up to 20% lighter than conventional materials, allowing for prolonged comfort during longer and more challenging hikes. This material is also highly impact-resistant, ensuring the glasses remain intact even in harsh conditions.
TR90 is known for its flexibility and ability to mold to the face, making the glasses comfortable for extended wear. Thanks to its shape memory, the frame returns to its original configuration, no matter how deformed it may become during use. This feature is particularly beneficial in mountain environments, where the glasses may face extreme temperature fluctuations.
Non-Slip Rubber Parts for Maximum Stability
The ALTAVIA glasses are fitted with non-slip rubber parts made from Megol, a soft, lightweight, and hypoallergenic material. These components, located on the temples and nose bridge, ensure a secure and stable fit, preventing the glasses from slipping, even during intense activity or when sweating. This detail is essential for mountaineers and hikers, ensuring the glasses stay in place for consistent, clear vision.
Option for Prescription Lenses
For those who require vision correction, the ALTAVIA model offers the possibility of fitting prescription lenses directly into the frame. This feature makes the glasses highly versatile, allowing hikers and mountaineers with vision impairments to benefit from complete protection without needing additional contact lenses or eyewear.
