ALASKA Prescription Glasses for Mountain, Hiking, and Mountaineering

Side protection, precise vision, and comfort at altitude

ALASKA is a prescription eyewear frame designed for those who experience the mountains in an authentic and continuous way. Hiking, mountaineering, trekking, and outdoor activities demand reliable vision in environments where light changes rapidly and exposure is often intense. The retro design inspired by historic “glacier” glasses meets modern engineering, developed to handle direct sunlight, reflections from rock and snow, wind, and prolonged use.

It is the ideal choice for those who need vision correction but do not want to compromise on protection, stability, and optical quality when moving at altitude.

A true prescription frame for the mountain environment

ALASKA is designed from the ground up as a frame for prescription lenses, offering a complete solution for those who wear glasses even in the mountains. Unlike traditional frames, often intended for urban use, ALASKA is engineered to truly protect the eyes in open, bright environments.

The wraparound structure allows different types of prescription sun lenses to be fitted without compromising field of view or stability. This means wide, continuous vision, improved side protection, and greater safety even while moving on uneven trails or technical sections.

Side protection: a fundamental detail at altitude

The side protections, inspired by classic glacier glasses, are not merely aesthetic. In the mountains they serve a concrete function: limiting lateral light intrusion, especially disturbing when the sun is low or when walking on highly reflective surfaces such as snow, ice, and light-colored rock.

These shields also help protect the eyes from cold wind and dry air common conditions at altitude that can cause tearing and eye fatigue. The result is cleaner, more relaxed, and more stable vision, allowing you to maintain focus for longer during activity.

The most suitable prescription lenses for the mountains

ALASKA can be equipped with different prescription sun lenses, allowing you to choose the solution that best fits your way of experiencing the mountains.

Polarized prescription lenses are particularly suitable for hiking and trekking. They reduce reflections from rocky surfaces, wet sections, spring snow, and asphalt, improving contrast and terrain readability. This translates into more precise detail perception and reduced visual fatigue after many hours of walking.

Photochromic prescription lenses are ideal for those who face highly variable light conditions, such as frequent transitions between forest and ridgeline or between shaded areas and full sun. They automatically adapt to brightness, darkening as light increases and lightening as it decreases, ensuring constant visual comfort without changing glasses.

For maximum versatility, polarized photochromic prescription lenses represent the most complete solution. They combine automatic light adaptation with glare reduction, ensuring protection and visual quality in almost any environmental condition.

UV400 protection: an essential safety feature

In the mountains, UV exposure increases with altitude, even when temperatures are cool and the sky appears “less aggressive.” ALASKA provides UV400 protection, blocking 100% of UV-A and UV-B rays and protecting the eyes during summer trekking, mountaineering, and snow activities.

This protection is essential to prevent fatigue, glare, and eye stress, especially during long outings.

Ultralight TR90 frame: comfort that lasts all day

The frame is made from ultralight TR90, a technical material ideal for outdoor use because it combines flexibility, impact resistance, and comfort. With a weight of approximately 24 grams (including the retention cord), ALASKA feels light on the face and does not create pressure points, even after many hours of wear.

It integrates easily with hats, helmets, buffs, or technical headbands, adapting to the different demands of mountain activities.

Stability and safety on technical terrain

In mountain environments, eyewear stability is essential. ALASKA is designed to stay securely in place thanks to adjustable temples, which allow for a customized fit, and the included elastic retention cord, useful on windy days or during more demanding sections.

A detail that increases safety and reduces distractions, allowing you to focus entirely on the route.

Unisex fit and multisport use

The unisex fit makes ALASKA suitable for both men and women. The wraparound shape protects without squeezing, ensuring comfort and stability on different face shapes. It is eyewear designed to accompany you across many activities: hiking, mountaineering, skiing, trekking, and multisport outdoor use.

Complete kit for those who live the mountains

ALASKA comes with an elastic retention cord, a hard case for backpack transport, and a microfiber pouch for lens cleaning. A practical and complete kit, designed to protect the glasses and keep them performing over time.

ALASKA: the mountains, seen better

ALASKA is designed for those who want to see better, for longer, with less effort. Whether you are following a forest trail, climbing toward a summit, or facing a bright day on snow, these prescription glasses combine iconic style with real performance, delivering reliable vision in every condition.
