Reviews

"Great quality, comfortable fit and the prescription lenses were on point!"

— Steven (5/5)

"I'm really impressed by these glasses and what they come with in the package. the elastic goggle strap to secure the glasses is super nice, and the side shields are convenient for snow blowing outside. The lenses are very clear and high quality, and while the fit wasn't perfect out of the box, I got them adjusted at my local optical store and now they're much better. The rubber on the nose piece and arms help keep the glasses secure while having a soft feel."

— Adam (5/5)

Amazing Glacier Glasses

"On expeditions I have always worn a pair of prescription glacier glasses from another brand, and it took me a few days of missing climbing holds or kicking crampons into nothingness to get accustomed to the "bug eye" effect from the other brand's lenses; my depth perception never felt right, which is dangerous when you're climbing. On the contrary, the prescription Embarks are a wonderful piece of kit. No dizziness, crystal clear lenses, work in most light, almost no fogging even while chugging uphill. Awesome."

— Michael (5/5)

Embark RX with Brown Mirror Lenses

"I really like the coverage with the removable sidepanels. I did find that one of the lenses was not set correctly. I was able to push in correctly, but just discouraged by lack of build and fit quality. Weight is great. This is my first time having a brown mirror lenses. Not as dark but that is why I got them. Can wear them in more weather conditions. Look forward to many years of use."

— TJ K. (4/5)

Embark RX

"An awesome pair of prescription sunglasses designed for use in the snow. The side blinders will help to keep the wind from reaching my eyes while skiing. The visuals are unmatched in clarity. My only regret is that the sunglasses went on sale the week after I purchased them. (I received a 15% discount instead of 30%)."
