Belay glasses and sunglasses in one. The YY Vertical Solar Up Belay Glasses combine a flip-up prism system with integrated Category 3 sunglasses, so you can watch your climber without craning your neck and without squinting into a bright sky.

The prisms redirect your view upwards while your head stays level, which takes the strain out of long belays and keeps you focused on your partner. When you need normal vision, flip the "Up & Down" system out of the way with one hand. The frame is light and comfortable, and the whole thing is designed for cliff and outdoor belaying. Choose the Solar Up over a standard pair of belay glasses if most of your belaying happens on sunny crag days.
