UV rays are stronger and more intense at higher altitudes, especially combined with snow covered areas that create additional reflection. This lowers your ability to read the landscape around you. Our alpine lenses are calibrated to remove harmful light and reduce eye fatigue so you can focus on and enjoy your adventure.
