VALLON launches Heron Glacier side shield sunglasses in Tortoise

VALLON, the sports eyewear brand known for classic style and maximum performance eyewear, unveils its flagship frame, Heron Glacier in a new Tortoise colorway.

Currently available in nine colorways - from Black to Off-White-Green, Dark-Grey-Orange, and iconic Yellow - the all new Tortoise colorway brings an elevated aesthetic and timeless style to the collection.

Designed specifically for missions above the treeline and high alpine environments, the Heron Glacier comes equipped with mirrored Cat. 4 polycarbonate lenses for shatterproof safety and 100% UVA/B protection in harsh high-glare environments - where blocking against damaging UV rays is critical for vision, and long-term eye health. The non-polarized lenses are best-suited to glacial environments - making it easier to quickly and safely decipher between layers of snow and ice.

The frames are made from a Swiss-invented TR90® polyamide which is lightweight, durable, and hypoallergenic, with bendable temple ends that can be shaped behind your ear for a secure and comfortable all-day fit. Additionally, the classic brown leather side shields help reduce glare while protecting against wind and debris - ideal for those with light sensitivity or dry eyes.
