Why do I need sports glasses with prescription for hiking?

In the mountains, UV exposure is up to 50% higher than in the valley – UV radiation increases by approx. 10–12% per 1000 meters of altitude. Additionally, there are reflections from snow, rock, and water. Regular prescription glasses do not offer sufficient protection here.

Which lens tint is ideal for hiking?

  • Grey / Smoke (Cat. 3): For sunny mountain tours – color-neutral, optimal protection
  • Brown / Amber: For changing conditions – increases contrast on rock and path
  • Photochromatic: Adapts automatically – ideal for long tours with changing weather
  • Category 4: For glaciers and high-altitude tours – maximum protection (not for road traffic)

Are polarized lenses useful for hiking?

Yes – especially on snow, glaciers, and water surfaces, polarized lenses significantly reduce dazzling reflections. On rocky trails, they also help to better recognize the surface structure – important for surefootedness.

How important is the fit when hiking?

Very important – on long tours, the glasses must sit securely even with sweat and movement. Our hiking sports glasses have rubber inserts on the nose pad and temples and are light enough for multi-day tours.

Can I use my existing prescription?

Yes – bring your current glasses prescription or send it to us. We will produce the prescription insert or directly glazed lenses according to your values. Personal consultation: Get advice via WhatsApp now →
