Frequently Asked Questions about Mountaineering Glasses
Which mountaineering sunglasses for glaciers?
For ascending a glacier, it is advisable to choose mountaineering glasses with an extremely high protection category. A Category 4 lens is typically the right choice for this purpose. Sports eyewear with the space glass technology from evil eye provide this alpine protection category. On glaciers, a high level of harmful blue light is often present. For this, lenses with blue light filters like the LST® blue light VARiO blue mirror are optimal. These lenses filter out blue light and have a high protection category. If a similar level of tint is not needed during the ascent as on the summit of the glacier, the VARiO technology is ideal. It adjusts to changing light conditions. Additional features, such as a nose strap for protecting the nose against intense sunlight, can also be useful on the glacier.
Which sunglasses for high-altitude tours?
For high-altitude tours, mountaineering sunglasses with protection category 3, and in intense sunlight, protection category 4, are recommended. Additionally, the eyewear should fit well and provide protection against strong wind and precipitation. For high-altitude tours in snowy areas with strong reflection of sunlight, lenses with blue light filters are useful. If light conditions change significantly between very sunny and very shady sections, lenses with automatic tint adjustment, such as those with evil eye VARiO technology, should be chosen.
Which sunglasses for hiking?
When hiking, sports eyewear with flexible lens technology are especially sought after. Since terrain and lighting conditions frequently change during hiking, mountaineering sports eyewear with VARiO technology are sensible. These glasses adapt to the rapidly changing light conditions when transitioning between forests, hiking paths, alpine meadows, or canyons, harmonizing with them. Additionally, sunglasses for hiking should be made of an exceptionally lightweight and flexible material that offers maximum comfort even during long hikes. The material used for evil eye mountaineering sports eyewear, PPX®, perfectly meets these requirements.
