Save your ski eyes – in style

This ski season’s snow drought has thankfully ended with nearly all resorts now covered in a deep white blanket, but not before forcing early-year keenies to go higher for snow, meaning full sun protection a must. Leading Swiss technical maker VALLON today introduces its flagship Heron Glacier VALLON range in three, eye-catching lens colours to their classic side shield glasses.

VALLON’ s brown-yellow, dark-grey-red, and off-white-green are bound to set you apart this winter. These classic, revamped glacier sunglasses are designed to deliver maximum eye protection for ski tourers, polar explorers, and winter hikers and mountaineers exploring in glacial environments - where the sun is at its most powerful and damaging to the eye.

Glacier side shield sunglasses are upgraded with 21st century technology…a vintage, rounded silhouette featuring Cat. 4 fully-mirrored, shatterproof lenses and genuine leather side shields offer ultimate sun protection and claim to increase eye comfort and safety in challenging conditions.
