Heron Glacier from VALLON are our go-to sunglasses for ski touring and mountaineering. Here’s 7 reasons why:
Classic Style
Inspired by past explorers and adventurers, and based on the design of traditional mountaineering glasses, the round frame features leather side shields and stay-on temples for maximum performance and security in the mountains.
The Heron Glacier feature leather side shields and removable nose bridge which have the benefit of fully excluding harmful glare, preventing eye strain, and allowing for all-day comfort. Small ventilation holes have been incorporated in the leather to help prevent condensation build-up.
2. Exceptional Cat. 4 Lens
These glacier glasses feature a shatterproof Category 4 lens (6% VLT), which gives 100% UVA and UVB protection and has been treated with an anti-fog coating to ensure performance remains strong in a variety of conditions.
The brown tint increases contrast and depth perception, especially against green and blue backgrounds such as grass and sky. The superior eye protection combined with the enhanced contrasts mean that Heron Glacier is the perfect companion for ski touring and alpine ascents.
3. Swiss-invented TR90® Frame
Created from TR90® polyamide-nylon, the Heron Glacier’s frame is extremely durable yet remarkably lightweight, offering a comfortable fit even when used on long days of hiking or ski touring. Their technical abilities is the reason they have been up almost all the world's highest mountains, on the face of record-breaking mountaineer Adriana Brownlee in her attempt to become the youngest women to climb all fourteen 8,000m peaks.
4. Adjustable Stay-On Temples
The Heron Glacier temples are fully adjustable and can easily be bent around the ears into the right shape for your individual head size. The fundamental benefits of this are a more secure fit plus no issues with irritation when wearing the sunglasses for extended periods of time.
5. Full Mirror Coating
The polycarbonate lens is fully mirror-coated, which has the bonus of being anti-reflective, meaning reduced eyestrain and extra comfort during long days on the mountain. It also creates that aesthetically beautiful mirror reflection, distinctive to the Heron Glacier!
6. Stylish Protective Case
The faux-leather case is sturdy and will protect the Heron Glacier sunglasses, even when thrown into the bottom of your pack.
7. Plastic Clean Up
Outdoorsy people detest plastic pollution, so the knowledge that 1kg of plastic waste will be recycled when purchasing the Heron Glacier is a nice touch. All shipments are made using plastic-free packaging as well.
Heron Glacier are available here from the VALLON store.
