Jam-packed with the features of goggles and sunglasses, they were designed with the intent to make them as packable as possible, making this one-of-a-kind product the ideal piece of gear for your next backcountry adventure.

Vision

ChromaPop™ lens technology delivers enhanced color, clarity and definition and most models have the added technology of Glacier Photochromic which adapts to match the light conditions so they can handle a sunny day, a cloudy day and everything in between. Crafted with double technology means your adventures will be brighter, clearer and safer.

Fit

With goggle-like coverage, the Pursuit delivers a fit that will keep you comfortable while you are climbing and descending. Plus, the airflow and easy-to-wear feel of sunglasses ensure you stay comfortable all day long.

Frame

Crafted with lightweight and durable based frame material, these glasses are as capable as they are lightweight. The magnetic side shields add peripheral light coverage when you need it. Plus, the removable nose guard gives extra protection when sunlight is extreme. Fully customizable for whatever type of day you face, the Pursuits have you covered.

Price: $269+
