ALASKA Mountaineering Glasses

Category 4 Polarized Lens for High Mountains and Glaciers

ALASKA is eyewear designed to face the mountain in its most extreme form. Developed for mountaineering, ski mountaineering, and high-altitude use, it combines the iconic character of retro design inspired by classic glacier glasses with modern construction, engineered to handle intense light, extreme reflections, and harsh environmental conditions.

Rounded yet bold lines, a wraparound frame, and functional side protections create a timeless aesthetic, but it is in the lens and visual protection that ALASKA reveals its true purpose: supporting you in environments where light allows no margin for error.

A classic design, evolved for high mountains

The reference to historic alpine exploration is immediate, yet ALASKA is far more than a tribute to the past. Its structure is designed to provide full coverage and stability, significantly reducing lateral light intrusion an essential factor when tackling exposed ridges, steep faces, and highly reflective surfaces such as snow and ice.

The glacier-style side shields are not merely an aesthetic detail. They form an effective barrier against oblique light and help maintain cleaner, more controlled vision. At high altitude, where visual fatigue can compromise focus and safety, this level of protection makes a real difference.

Category 4 polarized lens: maximum protection where light is extreme

ALASKA is equipped with a Category 4 polarized lens, the ideal choice for mountaineering and glacier environments. This filter category is specifically designed for extremely bright conditions, where solar intensity and reflections can become hazardous to vision.

Polarization eliminates glare generated by snow, ice, and light-colored rock, delivering a more stable, high-contrast image. Category 4 filtration drastically reduces the amount of light reaching the eyes, offering effective protection in intense radiation conditions typical of high mountains and elevated altitudes.

The result is more relaxed, precise, and controlled vision, even after many hours in open environments. Terrain details become clearer, changes in slope more readable, and visual fatigue is significantly reduced. This lens is designed for those who move where light leaves no room for compromise.

UV400 protection: absolute safety at altitude

In high mountain environments, exposure to ultraviolet radiation increases significantly with altitude and is amplified by reflection from snow and ice. ALASKA provides UV400 protection, blocking 100% of UV-A and UV-B rays and protecting the eyes from stress and damage caused by prolonged exposure.

Even when temperatures are low and the air feels milder, solar radiation remains intense. In these conditions, full protection is not optional it is essential.

TR90 Ultralight frame: reliable, lightweight, ready for action

The TR90 Ultralight frame is designed for technical mountain use. It is lightweight, flexible, and durable, capable of withstanding impacts and stress without sacrificing comfort. With a weight of approximately 24 grams, including the retention cord, ALASKA remains stable on the face without causing fatigue, even during long ascents or demanding descents.

It integrates easily with helmets, hats, or technical headbands, adapting seamlessly to different phases of activity without interference.

Stability and safety in the most technical sections

In mountaineering and ski mountaineering, eyewear stability is essential. ALASKA is designed to stay securely in place thanks to adjustable temples that allow a customized fit, along with the included elastic retention cord, indispensable on windy ridges or during fast, technical movements.

This simple yet effective system minimizes distractions and allows you to focus entirely on the environment and the action.

Designed for high mountains, perfect where light is extreme

ALASKA performs at its best in mountaineering, ski mountaineering, and glacial environments, where the combination of a Category 4 polarized lens, side protections, and wraparound structure delivers superior visual protection. It is eyewear designed for those who approach the mountains with awareness, experience, and respect for extreme conditions.

The ALASKA experience: seeing better, when it truly matters

Wearing ALASKA means reducing the impact of extreme light and restoring depth, contrast, and clarity to the landscape. Whether you are crossing a glacier, traversing an exposed ridge, or moving through snow-covered high-altitude terrain, these glasses support you with a rare combination of iconic style and genuine technical performance.
