Climbers require protection from falling rocks, as well as contrast enhancing lenses to spot the small nooks and crannies.
Prescription Options
- You can have your prescription fitted directly into the frame.
- You can also have an optical insert adaptor which has your prescription glazed into it.
- You can be fitted with contact lenses and then wear your sunglasses over the top.
Lens Guide
- Photochromatic lenses are beneficial for climbing, as often you move from areas of shade and then into bright light
- Anti-reflective coatings can be applied to the front or back surface of your lenses. This provides you with better clarity of vision
- Mirror coatings are normally good for overall reduction in brightness
- Anti-fog treatment will repel the mist that can cloud your vision
- Oleophobic and Hydrophobic treatment will stop dirt and grease sticking to your lens, maintaining distraction free vision
- Impact resistance for all round protection whilst climbing
- Lightweight for increased comfort
- Optical precision can be created as we can glaze your prescription into the lens or have an insert
- 100% UV protection advised
- Interchangeable lenses for different conditions
Tint Guide
GREY
- Good all purpose
- Good choice for climbing in bright sunshine
- Minimises colour distortion
- Good choice for bright conditions
BROWN:
- Provides high contrast
- Good colour balance
- Soothing to the eye
ORANGE/COPPER
- Good choice for partly sunny conditions
- See terrain better, like pot holes, rocks and mud
YELLOW
- Most effective in low light conditions, or overcast days
- Superior increase in contrast enhancement
Frame Guide
It is important that the frames are lightweight and comfortable. They also should fit firmly on your face, so that you don’t have the fear of them slipping down every time you swing.
- Lightweight
- Wrap-around style
- Adjustable nose pads
- Thermogrip is made with hydrophilic material, which has moisture absorbing properties that keep the frame firmly in place whilst sweating
- Adjustable temples
- Oversized frames with deep lenses offer a wider field of vision
- Allow some airflow, as this will help prevent lenses from misting over
