YY Vertical - Belay Glasses

So should you buy these Y&Y Belay Glasses over other brands, IMO YES! The Quality is superb. There are plenty of $15 prism Belay Glasses and you get what you pay for. I’ve tried out plenty of the off brands that people brought to the Rock Climbing Gym & since I have Glasses I figured I would just go all out and buy the Y&Y. I’m so glad that I did. These flip lenses are designed to be touched! You can flip them up & down without chalking or oiling up the prisms. The really sweet touch is how they not only clamp to your glasses (VERY securely) but also in the case they come with there is a notch or lip that is designed into the case that the belay glasses lock onto. This prevents them from rattling around and the case is high quality with a cheap little carabiner to connect it to whatever. I have no issues when not on Belay having them attached to my harness and climbing. The benefits when on Belay are unbelievable (to me). Long Belays have a tendency to have you look down or around... Yes 99% of people take there eyes off the climber for one reason or another, it happens, but with these I find my attention is by far improved and my climber is safer! Its nice that you can shift your head looking left & right and your climber can still be seen by just turning your eyes. Its great in climbing gyms when there are other close climbers around. The safety factor alone is worth the buy. Hope you enjoy. I will never Belay without them. Edit: I also forgot, #1 The Belay Glasses are smaller than you think, when lowered they only cover about the upper half of my glasses. So when on Belay looking forward I see my climber, when looking down I can see my GriGri/ATC/ etc.., #2, I climb with a soft helmet. Sometimes I Belay with it if I’m concerned over falling debris. I even Belay with a hat and I can still see my climber just fine without turning the hat around or taking it off. So you can use the Belay Glasses with a hat on no issues! Lastly, some reviews state that the Glasses feel “heavy”, This is something I find very individual. Both my Son and I now wear these and until we read the reviews from other buyers we never once thought about the weight. We both never noticed the weight. This does not discount the reviews by people who may wear extremely thin or light glasses, maybe if they doo no fit around the ear correct or? Maybe they just have sensitive faces. Its a legitimate problem for them. I still believe that feeling weight over neck pain is a Pro. Good luck & safe climbing!

High quality belay glasses. You get what you pay for. I previously had a pair of the cheap plastic kind and they broke after a year of use. These offer much better build quality and the lenses are noticably clearer with a slight zoom effect.

They work with glasses on. I’ve used all the brands and I like these.

The glasses are comfortable, light, built to last, and provide a crystal clear image. They're designed to sit low enough without obstructing your view while looking directly at the climber (which the instructions are wise enough to recommend, until they've climbed above a certain height!) while also covering a substantial area of view so looking through them for the longer part of the climb is entirely comfortable. So the product you're potentially buying is very good, 5/5 from me. And now I'm going to go on about the more unsung hero of this buy: the case. You might think - as do a lot of manufacturers - that the case is an afterthought, something that's nice to have but doesn't really matter... And there's a case for that, I don't exactly disagree. But these glasses come with a case nice enough that it becomes a valuable part of the experience, so I want to give it a shout here. First, it has a dedicated carabiner loop (non-climbing carabiner included!) to lash it to your harness for easy carrying. Whether you're heading to a crag and just want to keep your hands free or are climbing in the gym and want to keep everything with you while trading off with another climber, this is very handy. Still, maybe just "par for the course," no more or less than what you'd expect. But wait, there's more! The case zips almost all the way around, so when it's closed, it's fully closed. But, wisely, it also includes an "accordion" layer just inside the zipper - some nylon stitched in so that, with the zipper fully open, the case doesn't flop open flat. Rather, it opens up about 30 degrees plenty of room to get even climb-tired fingers in there and pluck out the glasses, but not so far they're in danger of falling out (assuming you're in a standard vertical position, always zip before climbing upside down). And if you're inclined (yes, it's a slope pun, and no, I'm not pretending it was an accident) to leave the zipper undone during a long session, there's a Velcro strap you can slap across the opening. Again, perfectly suitable for tired, cold fingers to secure or retrieve your glasses easily without great distraction. I would have given the glasses alone 5 stars. The attention to detail with a well-designed case pushed me to write a long review. This is the kind of well-thought-out above-and-beyond-the-product-itself attention-to-detail that really makes me happy as a customer.

This is my first pair of belay glasses, so I canycompare with similar products, but this one gets the job done. I keep it clipped to my harness all the time, so I can grab them whenever I want. It's kind of a weird experience, having a small part of your natural field of vision replaced with a sort of cloud of a view at an angle. Also messes with your vestibular sense of which way is up. Decreases neck strain though; that's for sure. I used them with my pole saw cutting a big limb off my cedar tree. (Such hard wood, cedar.) Makes a big difference where the glasses are sitting on your nose. If they're closer to your forehead, you get a tighter angle. Worth what I paid. Very clear view, nice cleaning cloth included, comfortable.

Save your neck and purchase this! This s was so helpful when we were top roping all day long.

Excellent design that allow you to lift them up out of the way when not needed so you don't need to keep finding a place for them. Great peripheral vision around them also. The little ear hooks are useful to keep your glasses from slipping with the extra weight on them. The only problem I've had is that the clip will come apart if they catch on clothing and are pulled off of your glasses. Once the clip comes apart they are difficult to rebuild with the little spring staying in place. Y&Y in France has not responded to email, but I've been able to repair them.
