Product Description

OUR ADVICES

1. HOW TO PLACE IT ? 
First of all, place the belay glasses on the tip of the nose.

2. SPOT THE CLIMBER
Before the climber reaches the second anchor, spot him !

3. PUT ON GLASSES
When the climber reaches the second anchor, place the belay glasses high on the nose, in front of the eyes (keep one hand on the cord).

4. MORE COMFORT
Thanks to the belay glasses, you can adopt a natural position.

5. TWO FIELDS OF VISION
The thin spectacle frame enables the belayer to look at the climber, and on the surroundings.

6. FIRST USES
After 1 or 2 sessions you’ll enjoy a comfortable vision and you’ll never go belaying without our glasses again!

I did some research before buying, and I think I made the right choice. They are comfortable. The field of vision is large enough to clearly see the climber, but you still have reasonable peripheral vision. The case is well made and quite convenient (it hangs on your harness). If I lost these belay glasses, I would buy the same thing again.

Great quality, easy to use, stay put on your face, and save your neck!! I was having daily neck and shoulder pain from belaying at the gym 2 times week. I still climb that often or more, but no more pain! The tab at the nosepiece to pull them on and off is helpful. I can comfortably wear them over my glasses. And the case they come in is sturdy and convenient. Worth the money in my opion.

Mine arrived slightly bent and with either a scratch or lint under 1 lens. Other than that, they are light weight and fit both my small female head and my husband's giant one. Prisms are pretty clear and you can see above and what is happening around you. The nose peice is fairly comfortable. I still miss my Tembos which had a great angle (they had an unfortunate meeting with a rock). But when I get my replacement Y&Y they may do just as well. Will update after I get my replacement and spend some time belay slaving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have purchase for climbing, but only once you have some experience
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020

Fantastic purchase, especially if your partner is doing a long route or trying a challenging one. These definitely make it easier to keep your full attention on your climber. The case is fairly rugged. Comfortable under a hat. While they don't work great with prescription or sunglasses on, it can be done. Mine have been dropped, tossed, and otherwise beat up and are still perfect.

However, I only recommend using belay glasses after you've belayed without for awhile. One, it's good to get your neck used to looking up, and two if you're inexperienced you can have brief losses of line-of-sight on your climber which can be dangerous. It's also good to develop your climbing situational awareness first as well since these will obstruct your view of the ground directly in front of you (I've seen people lose track of the rope and step into a loop of it while lowering wearing belay glasses).

5.0 out of 5 stars They really work well
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016

These glasses are amazing they really work well and are saving my neck from pain and problems I have had in the past from too much belaying. They are made of very sturdy metal and come with a tether which keeps the glasses around your neck when not in use. I wear prescription glasses and these go right in front to allow me to see everything in focus. I never have to bend my neck to look up with these. If I need to look at a knot or something else I just look above the belay glasses and I can clearly see whatever I need to. Then back to the goggles to see up the wall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight, no distortion and works great.
Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020

I finally paid for one of these dorky looking glasses because my neck was killing me belaying, especially when my partner is working on a problem and taking a long time. They take some getting used to, since it doesn't work until the climber is higher up on the wall, and they actually block your vision when the climber is just starting the climb. I figured out that if I wear it slightly lower on my nose (like an old granny reading glasses), I can still see the climber over the glasses with my own eyes at the beginning. And when the climber is high enough on the wall, I can just quickly nudge the glasses up my nose and transition to seeing through these glasses.

I never tried the cheaper ones on Amazon and went straight for this expensive pair, partly because I read good reviews about it, partly because I tried a cheaper one in a sporting goods store, and that pair had some weird distortion that was making me dizzy. So I was wary of trying the cheaper ones on Amazon. Perhaps they are okay if you are on a budget, but if you plan on using these a lot, I suggest spending a little more.
