Trekking Sunglasses
Actics Range of Trekking Sunglasses
Explore the Actics range of trekking sunglasses designed for long days on the trail, from hill walking routes to snow trekking and high altitude treks. The collection features a wraparound frame with mirrored lenses that cut glare, block harmful UV rays, and keep wind and side light out of your eyes.
Mirrored Lenses Built for Snow and Bright Trails
The mirrored lenses on Actics trekking sunglasses reflect away incoming light before it reaches your eyes. As a result, it cuts glare and reduces brightness when the sun is strong and the ground is bright. This matters most on snow, where light bounces up from the surface as well as coming down from above. Paired with full UV400 protection and a Category 3 darkness level, they work as UV protection sunglasses for trekking and as snow trekking sunglasses on bright, clear days. A water-repellent coating keeps mist, spray, and light rain from building up on the lens.
If you're comparing goggles for snow trekking, note that these are wraparound sunglasses rather than sealed goggles. They suit bright, clear conditions best, not storms or heavy snowfall. You can check out our Actics range of ski goggles for those conditions.
Sunglasses for High Altitude Trekking
UV exposure rises the higher you climb, because there is less atmosphere to filter it. Full UV400 protection blocks UVA and UVB rays, and the wraparound shape stops light from entering around the sides, where reflected glare off snow and rock often arrives from. This makes the range a practical choice as sunglasses for high-altitude trekking on sunny days along the trail and at higher camps.
A Frame That Stays Out of Your Way
The TR90 frame is lightweight and holds its shape through repeated flexing. It isn't affected by being packed into a rucksack and pulled out again day after day. Polycarbonate lenses reinforce the lens structure without adding bulk, and the nose bridge is shaped to spread pressure evenly rather than dig in over a long day on the trail. The wraparound shape closes off side light and wind.
Prescription, What's Included, and Certification
Our trekking sunglasses range includes a single-vision insert fitted into the frame and is customised to your prescription. It keeps the same fit and coverage as the standard pair. Each pair comes with a hardshell case, a microfibre cleaning cloth, a cleaning solution, and a soft pouch, so there's nothing to source separately before your first trek. Both the clear and mirrored lens builds are certified to EN ISO 12312-1:2022, the current standard covering sunglasses safety and light transmittance.
FAQs About About Trekking Sunglasses
What should I look for while buying a pair of trekking sunglasses?
A good pair of trekking sunglasses should have a wraparound design to keep your eyes protected from all sides while offering good peripheral vision. Mirrored lenses offer glare-free vision on bright days, and it also helps with clear vision in snowy conditions. UV400 protection is another non-negotiable factor, and you should look for prescription inserts if you wear prescription glasses.
How long does dispatch take?
Most trekking goggles orders are dispatched within 24 hours. However, it can take 7-10 working days in case of complex prescriptions.
Are the lenses polarised?
No, the Actics lenses use a mirrored coating. They reflect away incoming light to cut glare and brightness in strong sun. Polarised lenses are not ideal for trekking in snow, considering they can make it difficult to spot the difference between ice and snow.
