ASPEN SKI SUNGLASSES - GOGGLES

A great alternative to ski goggles, Aspen feature removable rubber inserts and a retainer to switch from sunglasses to goggles.

The Aspen from Rapid Eyewear feature some great lens technology, as well as excellent wind and ice blockage, plus secure fixing by way of an included head strap. Remove the strap and rubber wind shields, and you have a pair of sport sunglasses that can be used in any situation.

The Frames

The Aspen frame has a slight flex that enables them to fit comfortably around most sizes of head, without pinching; and yet, it won't feel as though it is about to fall off, either. The frame is made from TR90, an incredibly strong material that's superior to polycarbonate, and will ensure the glasses are highly unlikely to shatter, even in the event of a serious accident.

Finished in an attractive green / grey matt colour, the frames benefit from rubber side-arm extensions and nose pad inserts that help to provide maximum comfort levels. A pronounced ridge inside the lenses virtually eliminates unwanted wind and light intrusion all the way around your vision.

The Lenses

In line with the other sunglasses in the Rapid Eyewear Alpine range, the Aspen features Frostech anti-fog and anti-glare lenses which are finished in an attractive blue, with a mirror coating. By filtering out blue light, the Category 3 lens sharpens the edges of objects and terrain in your field of view, thereby increasing contrast and definition.

UV Protection and Conformity

Rapid Eyewear sunglasses conform to British, European and US standards for sunglasses and protective equipment testing. They offer 100% UVA / UVB (UV400) protection.

Rubber Inserts and Strap - Extreme Sports Mode

It's easy to change the Aspen from a fashion item into a great spec pair of snowboarding sunglasses. All you need to do is add the rubber inserts, which maximise wind and snow blockage from the peripherals of your vision, then attach the push-fit head strap. Put them on, adjust the strap by pulling the toggle at the back and you're ready to go.

Pouch

Each pair of Aspen comes with a microfibre carry pouch as standard. The pouch, which has draw-strings, doubles as a microfibre cleaning cloth.
