Upshot Belay Glasses

Belay glasses are specialized eyewear designed for climbers who are belaying. They allow the belayer to keep an eye on the climber above without tilting their head back, which can lead to neck strain. By using belay glasses, you can maintain a comfortable position while ensuring the safety of your climbing partner.

Prism lenses are engineered to bend light at specific angles, which enhances your field of vision. In belay glasses, these lenses allow you to see climbers positioned higher up without straining your neck. This means you can focus on the climber's movements and respond quickly if needed, improving safety during climbs.

Sport style temples refer to the arms of the glasses that extend from the lenses to your ears, designed for active use. They provide a secure fit and comfort during physical activities like climbing. This design ensures that the glasses stay in place, allowing you to focus on your climbing without worrying about your eyewear slipping off.

Yes, the nose pads on the Metolius Upshot Belay Glasses are adjustable. This feature allows you to customize the fit for maximum comfort, ensuring that the glasses stay securely in place while you’re belaying. They are also designed to be compatible with prescription glasses, making them suitable for a wide range of users.

The lanyard is a cord or strap that secures the belay glasses around your neck when they are not in use. This prevents the glasses from being dropped or lost while climbing, ensuring they are always within reach. It adds convenience and peace of mind, allowing you to focus on your climbing activities.

Absolutely! The Metolius Upshot Belay Glasses are designed with glasses-compatible nose pads, making them suitable for users who wear prescription eyewear. You can comfortably wear them over your regular glasses, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of belay glasses without compromising your vision.
