Protection from Ultraviolet rays on the mountains cannot be overstated – the risk of damaging your eyes is much greater at high altitude than in any other outdoors environment.
As we rise in altitude, the atmosphere thins and there is significantly less filtration of radiation. Due to the reflective nature of snow, up to 85% of the UV radiation can be reflected off snow, resulting in an effective UV dose that is over 4 times that at sea level! Inadequate eye protection can result in severe discomfort and damage to the eyes.
The new alpine collection lets you ascend and descend with confidence and comfort. The B-clear Trivex lenses are ultra lightweight and offer unrivaled optical quality. An embedded multi-plane adjustable Thermogrip hydrophilic nosepiece gives you a customizable fit, while a new combination of lens coatings keep solar radiation, wind, precipitation and fog off your lens and out of your view.
Standard, photochromic and polarised lenses are available to suit any alpine activity. RRP from £108.
