(Inclusive of all taxes)
Protect your eyes across bright trails, snow-covered terrain and high-altitude conditions with Gokyo sunglasses & ski goggles. The collection includes polarized UV400 sunglasses for trekking and everyday outdoor use, along with technical K2 ski & summit goggles designed for skiing, snow travel and high-altitude expeditions.
Polarized UV400 Sunglasses for Outdoor Use
The Kalimpong Polarised UV400 Sunglasses are designed for trekking, hiking, travel, cycling and everyday outdoor activity. Polarized lenses help reduce reflected glare, while UV400 protection makes them suitable for prolonged exposure to bright sunlight on open trails and mountain routes.
Eye Protection for Snow & High Altitude
Snow and high-altitude environments can expose the eyes to intense reflected sunlight, making suitable eyewear particularly important. For regular trekking and snow travel, UV-protective sunglasses provide practical protection, while more demanding conditions may call for goggles that offer greater coverage around the eyes.
K2 Ski & Summit Goggles
The K2 Ski & Summit Goggles are built for skiing, windy high-altitude trekking and mountain summit expeditions. They feature Category 4 sun protection, an adjustable strap, anti-fog ventilation and a frameless mirrored-lens design intended to provide secure coverage and clear vision in demanding mountain conditions.
Choose Sunglasses or Goggles According to the Conditions
For trekking, hiking, driving and general outdoor use, polarized UV400 sunglasses offer lightweight everyday eye protection. For skiing, snow-covered terrain, strong wind and exposed high-altitude conditions, ski or summit goggles provide greater coverage and a more secure fit. The right choice depends on altitude, weather, snow exposure and the intensity of the activity.
FAQs
Are polarized sunglasses good for trekking?
Yes. Polarized lenses help reduce reflected glare, making them useful on bright trails, open terrain and during prolonged outdoor activity. Gokyo’s current Kalimpong models combine polarization with UV400 protection.
What does UV400 mean in sunglasses?
UV400 eyewear is designed to block ultraviolet radiation up to wavelengths of 400 nanometres, covering UVA and UVB radiation. Gokyo’s Kalimpong trekking sunglasses are specified with UV400 protection.
Do I need sunglasses for snow trekking?
Yes. Snow can reflect strong sunlight towards the eyes, so suitable UV-protective eyewear is an important part of a snow-trekking kit. For more exposed or severe conditions, goggles may provide greater coverage.
What is the difference between trekking sunglasses and ski goggles?
Sunglasses are lighter and more convenient for general trekking, travel and outdoor use. Ski goggles cover a larger area around the eyes and provide a more secure fit for snow, wind and demanding high-altitude conditions.
Are the K2 Ski & Summit Goggles suitable for high-altitude expeditions?
Yes. Gokyo specifies them for windy and high-altitude trekking, skiing and mountain summit expeditions. They also feature Category 4 sun protection and an anti-fog ventilation system.
What is Category 4 sun protection?
Category 4 lenses are intended for exceptionally bright conditions such as high mountains and snow environments. They are highly tinted and are generally not suitable for driving.
