Good hiking glasses protect the eyes from UV radiation, wind, dust, and other external influences. At the same time, they must sit comfortably even on longer tours and provide a clear view of paths, rocks, and terrain. People who need vision correction in everyday life should therefore not have to choose between good vision and functional sunglasses when hiking. Prescription hiking glasses combine both - and with gloryfy, this works without an additional clip-in or adapter.
Direct glazing instead of clip-in: prescription hiking glasses reimagined
Anyone looking for prescription sunglasses for hiking often comes across clip-in systems or additional adapters. In these systems, another small corrective solution sits behind the actual sunglass lens.
gloryfy takes a different approach: With RX direct glazing, the individual prescription is integrated directly into the sunglass lenses. This means there is no additional clip and no second small frame behind the actual lens.
The hiking glasses remain exactly what they are meant to be: functional sunglasses or sports glasses - just with the individual vision correction required.
Especially for people who rely on visual aids while hiking, this creates a straightforward solution: sun protection, sports glasses, and vision correction are combined in a single pair of glasses.
What are the benefits of hiking glasses with direct glazing?
Prescription hiking glasses without clip-in differ from classic clip-in solutions primarily in their construction. The correction is located exactly where it belongs: in the actual sunglass lens.
The key benefits:
- No clip-in and no additional adapter behind the sunglass lens
- Unobstructed field of vision, without an additional small corrective frame in the field of view
- Fewer components and therefore a straightforward overall solution
- The original look of the sunglasses is retained
- Mirrored lenses are also possible
- The functionality and design of sports or lifestyle sunglasses are retained
For optically glazed sunglasses, gloryfy guarantees that the RX lenses correspond to the respective plano version - including versions with mirrored lenses. This means the look of the selected model is retained even though the glasses are individually made to prescription.
This is a decisive advantage, especially when hiking: the vision correction becomes a direct part of the sports glasses instead of being added through an additional clip-in solution.
Unbreakable prescription hiking glasses for the outdoors
Hiking glasses have to withstand more than they do on a short walk. They are worn for hours, placed in a backpack along the way, and exposed to wind, dust, branches, and other external influences.
gloryfy glasses are made from the high-tech polymer NBFX™. The frame and lenses form an unbreakable functional unit. The lenses do not shatter, and the sunglass lenses protect against UV radiation.
The construction also plays an important role in fit. All gloryfy glasses feature patented INCLINOX® technology, which allows the temples to be individually adjusted to the shape of the head and the desired fit behind the ear.
A gloryfy prescription hiking glasses therefore combines features that are particularly important outdoors: precise vision correction, low weight, durable materials, protection, and an individually adjustable fit.
Which gloryfy hiking glasses are available with prescription lenses?
At gloryfy, optical glazing is not limited to individual frame models: 100% of spherical sunglass models can be made with an individual prescription. Mirrored lenses are also possible, so the original look of the selected sunglasses is retained.
Prescription shield sports glasses: the gloryfy Helioz collection
Large sports glasses in a modern shield style can also be optically glazed by gloryfy. The Helioz technology was developed for this purpose. It enables direct glazing of selected shield and rimless sports glasses, combining a large, sporty glasses design with individual vision correction.
The models include, for example, the G23 Helioz, G31 Helioz and the G44 Sphere Helioz. Both show that even large-scale sports glasses with a shield character can be made as fully functional prescription sports glasses - also without a classic clip-in solution.
This means the selection at gloryfy ranges from classic framed sunglasses and sports glasses to modern shield sports glasses. The best option depends primarily on personal style, the desired fit, and the individual prescription.
