The ALPINA S-WAY VLM+, a mirrored Varioflex model with protection category S 1-4, which reacts to visible light, features hydrophobic coating on the outside and effectively prevents the lens from misting up on the inside thanks to Fogstop. Due to the tint up to S4 this model is particularly suitable for high alpine terrain. No matter where or for which sport, the ALPINA S-WAY is always the ideal companion fitting every face perfectly. Adjustable rubberised nose pads, inclinable arms and bendable arm tips ensure optimum adjustment. Protection level: S1-4
Note: Due to the high level of tinting, these glasses may not be worn when driving.

Varioflex is a lens technology which allows glasses to adapt to the weather conditions. Just as the chameleon changes to blend in with its surroundings, so these lenses adopt various tints to protect our eyes. The self-tinting photochromic lenses react to UV light, which causes chemical components within them to turn towards the source, producing a shading effect. When the UV light source diminishes, the lenses become lighter again. The process all takes place in a matter of seconds — giving you glasses that are always adjusted to match the changing light conditions.
Fogstop is a coating applied to the inside of the lens. It is not smooth but rough - seen through a microscope it looks quite fissured. This makes it impossible for moisture droplets to form a covering layer, i.e. to mist up the lens, impairing visibility. This could only occur if the humidity level was such that all the fissures filled with water. But before this can happen, the stored moisture actually condenses, keeping the lens clear - no hairdryer required!
Hydrophobic Lens: The hydrophobic, i.e. water-repellent, nanostructure of the lens causes water to form into beads and roll away in the blink of an eye, taking any dirt with it. This not only leaves the lens clean but instantly dry as well.
Adaptable Nosepad: Cold-adaptable nose pads allow optimal adjustment to any nasal width and shape.
2-Comp Design: The combination of hard frame, soft arm tips and nose pads enhances the fit and comfort of the glasses.
Optimized Airflow: Heavily curved lenses in combination with indirect air flow channeling assure vision that is not impaired by draft or fogging.
Coldflex: The tips of the arms are bendable, and can be adjusted to suit the wearer and produce a perfect fit.
