LENSES BY ZEISS

We selected a dark category 3 coating to ensure confort in all situations and a light category 4 for all terrain. Both categories 3 and 4 fit perfectly for mountains activities. For people who are mainly using our sunglasses in high mountains we recommend category 4 lenses.

Category 3

Alps Mirror: 10% visual light transmittance (VLT)
Bronze: 11% visual light transmittance (VLT)

Category 4

(not suitable for driving)

Flash Electric: 5 % visual light transmittance (VLT)
Silver Mirror: 5 % visual light transmittance (VLT)

UV protection

Our lenses are blocking 100% UV radiation.

VLT-visual light transmittance

Visual light transmittance is the amount of light in the visible portion of the spectrum that passes through a glazing material. All our lenses are under 15% VLT which assure a highly reflecting coating

Polarized

Polarized lenses eliminate glare from reflective surface. On snow the reflection can indicate ice or crevasses area. This is the reason why we do not use polarized lenses.

PARAGLIDING UPCYCLED STRINGS

We are upcycling strings from old paragliders to use them as sunglasses cords. The strings are made out of Dynema®. They are delivered in aleatory colors depending on arrival. Take a minute to choose and tie your favorite knot!

TWO NOSE PADS SIZES

We designed the Vorab to fit all the faces with adjustable silicone nose pads and 3 frame sizes.

Nose pad regular 1,2 mm
Nose pad small 2 mm

FABRIQUÉ CHEZ JEAN

We work closely with our 3rd generation eyewear family business, which has extensive expertise in the 3D printing. Printing in 3D allow us to reduce the stock.

"I wore my Vorab sunglasses all week at La Cordée in Évolène—they're magical! In fact, my brother Tanguy borrowed them one day... and the next day he won a silver medal at the Slalom World Championships. Some say it was luck... I say it was Vorab."

Tamara Nef, ski instructor and mountaineer

“When you reach the summit of K2, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your sunglasses are going to stay on. With my Moiry sunglasses, I was totally zen. They've been with me on all my 8,000-meter climbs!”

Christine Vogondy, Himalyan climber

"The morning light is low, I'm hanging from a winch and the helicopter blades are spinning above my head. I have a patient to rescue and at times like this, I'm glad I have sunglasses that stay on my nose!"

Alex Emery - Emergency doctor at Air-Glaciers

“One day I was looking for my Pierredar glasses, until I realized they were on my nose! Lightweight and ultra-comfortable, I highly recommend them for Hautes-routes.”

Julian Fuersinger - Mountain guide in Engelberg (Switzerland)

“We needed sturdy stainless steel sunglasses for our outings, with lenses that wouldn't scratch our eyes. The Pierredar is the ultimate speed sunglass, we approve!”

Damien Arnaud and Mathieu Moullier, sales gosses and steep skiers in Chamonix.

“Even on big overhangs, my Palü glasses don't move an inch. They've quickly become my go-to climbing glasses!”

Julien Bédat, freerideur and climber
