Product Description

Coveted by high altitude mountaineers and alpinists the Micropore sports all the latest features; Air Flow nose bridge, removable leather Side Shields, plus the optical clarity and scratch resistance of mineral glass lenses, for long term, reliable performance. When you are moving fast and pumping out a lot of perspiration the Air Flow system works like no other. Cold dry air is drawn in through perforations in the nose bridge and warm moist air is exhausted out vents in the Side Shields.

Includes hard case and accepts cordura and microfleece Beko Noseguard, which attaches easily with Velcro Strap.

AlpinistHigh quality

Voted 5/5

I'm very happy with the Micropore Nickel glasses. They offer excellent visibility and sun protection. The mineral glass lens is very high quality. They are also very comfortable to wear; the leather side shields and nose bridge are both very soft, even in cold weather, and the ear pieces are flexible which provides a very comfortable fit. The glasses are well made and durable.
