Neck Saver

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought recently for a multi-day climbing trip, and I didn’t expect to enjoy them as much as I did. They take a minute to get used to, but if you spend a good deal of time belaying your friends, they make a huge difference. No achy neck or headache at the end of a good long climbing day.

Looks Great, Feels Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They do exactly what they are supposed to, and they seem super sturdy in their case. Just be careful of looking directly into lights, youch!

Awesome For Glasses Wearers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally broke down and purchased these and I couldn’t be happier. They are super comfy and fit over my regular glasses easily. The materials and prisms are high quality and they are worth the money. They stay on your face even when low on your nose for those first few clips and it’s easy to see how much slack is out in front of you. I have tried other friends’ cheap belay glasses and you can tell immediately by the flimsy construction and nausea inducing angled prisms. Take the plunge and buy these-your neck will thank you

Climbing Necessity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this about a month ago and they are perfect! They are comfy and fit well. Comes with a neck band that attaches to the Glasses for easy transportation! Definitely saved our necks :)

Does What It Should, Solid Construction.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used for climbing trip to the Red. Worked as it should, felt sturdy and rugged. After a few uses, one of the hinge screws started to back out.. but just need to tighten with an eyeglass screwdriver.

Great Once You Get Used To Them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have saved my neck during a long day of climbing. They take a minute to get used to and you’ve got to do some eye gymnastics to find the correct angle so you’re not seeing double. Being cross-eyed to begin with might really help. Also, v stylish if you’re looking to pick up a date at the crag.

Saved My Neck

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Heard that you shouldn't wait to get a pair if you're gonna be belaying a lot. Whoever said that was right and I regret waiting. Only wish the size of the actual glass was a bit larger so you could see more through them, but besides that they're perfect.

Does The Job You Need It To.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I rarely use them. They definitely work as they're supposed to, it just hurts my eyes and I don't trust myself wearing them when I'm belaying. I guess I just need to get used to them more. If you are definitely in the market for belay glasses I think these would work out fine for you.
