Why you should buy dedicated glacier goggles

On a glacier, every detail matters. Sun exposure is much more intense than in the valley and is additionally reflected by the snow. Without proper protection, you risk not only glare but also serious eye damage. If you want to buy glacier sunglasses, you should focus on maximum protection: high-quality materials, side protection for the eyes, and extra dark lenses are essential in extreme conditions. Whether you’re looking for glacier sunglasses for women or men – function and safety always come first. Our shield sports sunglasses combine all of this, perfectly suited for extreme mountain conditions.

Maximum tint: CAT. 4 lenses for glacier conditions

On a glacier, choosing the right lens is crucial. For high alpine use, only category 4 (CAT. 4) lenses are suitable. These extremely dark lenses of glacier sunglasses filter up to 97% of visible light and reliably protect your eyes from snow blindness. Especially in bright sunshine and on reflective ice, this level of protection is essential. Thanks to interchangeable lenses, you can easily convert NAKED Optics sports sunglasses into glacier sunglasses in just a few steps. Important to know: Due to their strong tint, CAT. 4 lenses are not approved for road use – but they are perfect for your next glacier tour.

Crystal-clear vision: glacier sunglasses with prescription

Even with impaired vision, you don’t have to compromise in the mountains. Glacier sunglasses with prescription allow you maximum performance and clear vision in every situation. Thanks to the practical optical insert, you can customize your HAWK glasses to your vision needs. The insert is fitted with your prescription by your optician and simply clipped behind the dark main lens. This way, you combine optimal protection from your glacier sunglasses with perfect vision – whether on the ascent or at the summit.

Frequently asked questions about glacier sunglasses

What is the difference between regular sports glasses and glacier glasses?

Glacier glasses are specifically designed for extreme light conditions. They provide significantly higher light protection (usually CAT. 4) and feature side protection to shield the eyes from dangerous indirect radiation reflected by snow.

What does lens category 4 (CAT. 4) mean for glacier glasses?

The category indicates the level of light transmission. CAT. 4 (black) is the highest level and allows only about 3% to 8% of visible light to pass through. This is essential in glacier conditions to prevent your eyes from becoming fatigued or damaged.

Can I drive a car while wearing glacier glasses?

No. Due to their extremely dark tint (CAT. 4), these glasses are not suitable for road traffic, as visibility is too greatly reduced. For the journey to the mountains, you should use glasses with CAT. 2 or CAT. 3.

Are there glacier glasses for women and men?

Yes, our glacier glasses are designed as unisex models and are therefore suitable as glacier glasses for both women and men.

Can I get glacier glasses with prescription lenses?

Yes, our model The HAWK can easily be converted into prescription glacier glasses using an optical insert clip.
