What are ChromaPop™ Glacier PhotoChromic lenses?
ChromaPop™ Glacier PhotoChromic lenses combine three things into one lens. ChromaPop™ filters the crossover between red, blue, and green light for sharper clarity and color on snow. The Glacier formulation is built to perform in all conditions, including the extreme cold. Photochromic tint automatically adjusts as light conditions change, so you're not stuck manually switching lenses as clouds roll in or you move between open snow and shade.
Why do I need special sunglasses for snow and cold weather?
Snow reflects a large percentage of UV light, and glare intensifies at higher elevations, conditions that everyday sunglasses aren't built to handle. Cold temperatures also affect how lenses perform: standard photochromic lenses can lag in cold weather, leaving you with the wrong tint right when light is changing fastest. ChromaPop™ Glacier PhotoChromic lenses are formulated to keep working reliably in those cold, high-glare conditions, so your vision stays clear instead of catching up to the moment.
What's the difference between ChromaPop™ Glacier PhotoChromic and standard photochromic lenses?
Both automatically adjust their tint as light changes, but standard photochromic lenses can be sensitive to temperature, reacting more slowly in cold conditions. ChromaPop™ Glacier PhotoChromic lenses are specially formulated to perform in extremely cold conditions, so they stay responsive at elevation and in freezing temperatures where standard photochromic lenses would lag. They also include ChromaPop™, which filters the crossover of red, blue, and green light for sharper clarity, contrast, and color on snow.
