MORITZ GLACIER GOGGLES / CLIMBING SUNGLASSES

The original Moritz interchangeable goggles - sunglasses have been a staple of Rapid Eyewear's Alpine range of products for many years. This latest incarnation sees the introduction of a photochromic (transition) lens that changes from Category 1 - Category 3 and back again, according to the light conditions.

In their basic form, Moritz are a highly fashionable pair of wrap-around sports sunglasses. Add the foam windshield insert, unclip the side arms and add the strap and you have a high-specification pair of goggles that will suit all types of climbing.

The Frames

Moritz benefit from an incredibly tough frame, made from TR90, a plastic material that's superior to the more usually seen polycarbonate. The frames are very tough, and therefore offer a superb level of protection in the event of an accident. Rubber side arm inserts and nose pieces ensure maximum comfort.

The Lenses

Rapid Eyewear's new transition lenses adapt to the light, from Category 1 (dull conditions) to Category 3 (sunny conditions) as required. This is of course an extremely handy feature to have when you're halfway up a rock face and the weather is changeable. The lens also benefits from an anti-fog coating that prevents misting.

As with all Rapid Eyewear sport sunglasses, the Moritz have de-centred lenses, which means they have been calibrated to nullify the possible distorting effect of placing a curved lens in front of your face.

Moritz has Category 3 lenses fitted, a tint that can best be described as a 'standard' level of light filtering. Thanks to their high-quality optics, you will enjoy excellent contrast and clarity in your vision.

UV Protection and Conformity

All of our sunglasses comply with British European and US standards. They offer 100% UVA / UVB (uv400) protection for all lens types.

Changing to Extreme Sports Mode

It couldn't be easier to change the Moritz from a pair of sports sunglasses into climbing eyewear. All you do is:

1). Unclip the side arms and pull them out
2). Attach the sturdy, wide head strap
3). Adjust the length of the strap to suit
4). Clip on the foam gasket

The Package

Every pair of Moritz sunglasses come with a microfibre carry pouch which doubles as a cleaning cloth, and a head retainer strap.
