Blocking 99% of UV on a Mount Everest Expedition
The Mount Everest summit is one of the brightest places on Earth. Without specialized eyewear, the combination of high altitude and snow reflection will cause permanent eye damage during your Mount Everest expedition.
Regular sunglasses allow too much light in. For the Mount Everest summit push, you need VLT levels as low as 5%. These lenses are so dark they can only be used in the intense glare of a high-altitude expedition.
Polarized lenses block the horizontal waves of light reflecting off the glacier. This allows Everest trekking groups to see the texture of the ice and spot hidden crevasses that would otherwise be invisible.
When using an oxygen mask, your breath can fog up your goggles instantly. Professional Mount Everest expedition goggles use double lenses and specialized vents to maintain clarity during the summit ridge climb.
You cannot climb what you cannot see. Invest in the best Category 4 eyewear to ensure you reach the Mount Everest summit with your vision intact.
