Innovations in mountain sports: evil eye brings lightest goggle and new protection upgrade

The sports eyewear brand evil eye is reshuffling the cards in winter sports with two new models. Light as a feather at 60 grams, with optical lenses and made in Austria - the "peaklite" sets new standards in goggles. With the "elate extreme" including a protective facemask, an innovative alpine touring model is also being launched that surpasses all previous models in terms of functionality.

peaklite: Lightweight for summiteers

evil eye has teamed up with skimo athletes from the DACH region to launch a model specially developed for ski mountaineering (skimo for short): at just 60 grams, the peaklite is the lightest goggle in its class and gives athletes a decisive advantage precisely where every gram counts: when climbing up the mountain.

Efficiency is key: the ultra-light goggle does not require a frame and is equipped with an innovative LST filter lens to reduce weight to a minimum. The soft, anatomically shaped foam ensures unrestricted breathing and adapts perfectly to the shape of the face without causing pressure points.

Visual acuity

The peaklite not only sets new standards in terms of weight, but is also a game changer for all sportsmen and women who need vision correction. evil eye is the first provider on the market to have succeeded in integrating optical inserts directly into the filter lens using an innovative adapter system. This makes additional clip-ins or optical goggles superfluous and significantly increases wearing comfort. Perfect for both ski touring and alpine skiing.

In addition to the weight and the optical solution, the ventilation has also been worked on. Specially developed ventilation chambers in the foam and openings in the filter lens prevent the goggles from fogging up under intense strain. As a result, vision always remains crystal clear, even in demanding situations. The goggle is available in three filter variants with contrast-enhancing LST technology in protection category 3 from October.

Secure fit

An ideal fit is crucial for focusing fully on the sport, whether on the ascent or the descent. The narrow, large silicone headband can be quickly and easily adjusted to different head and helmet sizes and guarantees a non-slip fit. Thanks to its compact design, the peaklite is also ideal for smaller heads, making it the perfect addition to the existing evil eye goggle range in terms of size.

elate extreme: seamless at the highest level

"Extreme" is the apt term that accompanies the new high alpine model from evil eye in every respect. Extreme protection at extreme heights under extreme conditions.

In addition to the existing elate.o pro with nose cover, evil eye is now presenting a completely new add-on for the latest model in the elate family: a face mask made of black silicone. For the first time, the facemask protects the entire nose and cheek area from harmful UV radiation, cold and wind, which is particularly important on mountain tours at high altitudes. It is simply slipped over the temple and attached to the nose bridge, providing full protection on glaciers and at icy heights.

Perfect fit

A new headband ensures that the goggles fit securely even in the most demanding situations. Like the conventional temple, the strap is attached directly to the frame and can be adjusted in three inclination levels thanks to the practical tri.fit function.

The lenses can be fitted directly with prescription lenses and are available in 14 colors. The frame of the elate extreme can be individually combined - whether with the new facemask, headband or the tried-and-tested nose cover - and is now available in four colors and two sizes.

Know-how from the field

The elate extreme was once again developed together with athletes from the world of mountaineering, inspired above all by the German alpinist Fabian Buhl, who also tested the first prototypes directly in the field.

Like all evil eye sports glasses, the peaksight and elate extreme are designed and produced in Austria with the highest precision and quality. All new models are available from partner opticians and in the online store at evileye.com. Further information can be found at www.evileye.com
