Great for longer routes
I'd highly recommend these glasses if you plan to do a lot of outdoor climbing or if your gym has very tall walls or roof routes. The walls in our gym are 45 feet tall and I personally found these glasses were more disorientating (like motion sickness) than helpful. For normal indoor routes, these were not worth the trouble bc I would watch my climber without the classes for the first half of the route and then look thru them for the upper half to help with the neck strain. One obvious thing to note -- when using these glasses, it limits how much of the wall you're seeing, just that band of the wall that your climber is currently working on. So if you're someone who likes to see more of the route so that you can help mentally project with your partner, you might get annoyed.
Makes belaying even easier!
Fits over my prescription glasses without any issues. The case is nice and the cloth helps when you get schmuts on em. As long as you treat them like glasses you shouldn’t have to worry them breaking. Great investment.
Broken after 1 month of Easy Use
We use these glasses for window cleaning 1-2 times a week. They are well taken care of and only worn during those days. A month in and one of the screws already popped out causing the frame to fall on one side. We had to tape it back together to make it stay since the screw is so small it’s impossible to find. For the price paid, we expected a lot more.
Just get them! Your neck will thank you.
Great glasses! Can't imagine long belays without these now. You won't regret buying them. Only thing I'd improve is the case they come in. It needs to be stronger and more solid.
Best Belay Glasses
Best Belay Glasses! I purchased these due to tremendous neck pain when I started climbing and looking up to belay. The prisms of these are the highest quality and they sit perfectly on my face. These are the the best investment to my climbing experience.
A little fragile but still good
The bridge/nose piece breaks easily so be sure to keep them in the case. Other than that they’re really good and very comfortable.
Great neck savers!
These are one of those items you didn't know you needed until you use a pair. They help save your neck during long, high belays.
Broke quickly, difficult to repair
The frame snapped after a few weeks. Stored the glasses in their case, only used in the gym. Superglue or climbers tape did not adhere when I tried to fix them. Duct tape worked, but the frame is very wobbly. I will only use these for indoor, no longer reliable for outdoor.
Case broke within a week
Very cute but the loop on the case broke immediately. This led to my carabiner and case loop being attached to my backpack, and glasses missing immediately
Amazing and must have product
These glasses are freaking AMAZING! I am new to outdoor climbing but this is easily one of the best items you can purchase for it. It saves your neck the ache of looking up and is a solid one size fits all.
