Belay w/o neck pain, caves, glasses, no problem!
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!

Great vision, but heavy
Great field of vision. Love the clip-on option for people with glasses! The weight tends to pull the glasses down my nose, and their ear holds are awkward to put on and off constantly. I just use a headband to hold my glasses on a bit tighter, and then this product works great!

Awesome, comfortable and really clear
Never thought I would get a pair of these, because of my wearing glasses. Figured I would give these a try and love them. They are easy to clip on, flip up out of the way and are really comfortable. I was especially impressed with how clear the image is. Highly recommend.

Poor design, cheap plastic, no customer support. Pass.
Glass lenses look to be well cut and polished. But they are very heavy. Heavy enough that your glasses will pull down your nose. The added temple 'wings' do help to keep the glasses on, but just don't look down. Unfortunately, given the weight of the lenses, there is a surprisingly thin piece of plastic in two places that are responsible for holding the entire main part of the belay glasses onto your own glasses, and one of them spontaneously broke while in use, at 9 months from the first date of use, and barely a dozen times at that. Dug on the internet for a contact email, explained the issue, and have not received word back. I would take a hard pass on this and just go for the light cheaper glasses and place them in front of your corrective lenses. Not great, but it works.

Lifesaver for glasses wearers
These work great for those of us who can't wear contacts and want to save our necks. The quality is a lot better than the normal belay glasses my partner has. Seems like they will last for a long time if they're properly taken care of. The best part is that you can flip up the glasses to see normally without having to unclip and stash them. The case is also great for quickly stashing them as there is a flap you can clip them to with one hand. It attaches nicely to a climbing harness with a small carabiner to make pulling them out convenient.

Works great so far
I have only used them once so far but they definitely helped with my neck strain. I also really liked that I could look down to view my rope and GriGri while shifting my eyes back up to view my climber with ease. Clarity is also great. I would say that the only downside so far is that they have some weight to them and put a little pressure on your nose bridge so maybe get some soft cloth or neoprene covers for your bridge. The flip up feature is also really nice. Definitely recommend them though.

Great for project routes!
Buy extra of the ear hooks as I go through a pair every 4 or 5 sessions. I typically don't put these on while belaying a warm-up route, but I do use them on routes where I know my partner will be on the wall for awhile. There's a bit of a learning curve to using belay glasses, and throw in clipping these to normal glasses....it's fun. These are heavy and typically pull at my glasses, but I honestly like these the most out of all the options I've tried (borrowing pairs from gym friends). I struggle with SPD, so anything "off" is distracting and unsafe. These are consistent every time I clip them on, so I know exactly what to expect. That reduces the amount of unfamiliar or distracting sensory input.

Super! Perfekt zum sichern beim Klettern für Brillenträger
Als Brillenträgerin habe ich lange nach der passenden Sicherungsbrille gesucht. Die meisten Sicherungsbrillen passen nämlich leider nicht über die Brille. Der Clip ist super, kann mit einer Hand ganz einfach auf der Brille festgemacht werden und mit einer einfachen Bewegung zur Brille oder wieder weggeklappt werden. Einfach super beim sichern nicht mehr den Kopf in den Nacken legen zu müssen!

Great but a little heavier than expected

Mai più dolori al collo. Consigliati se come me portate gli occhiali.
È vero si tratta di un prodotto abbastanza costoso ma è praticamente l'unica soluzione per coloro che portano gli occhiali da vista. La visione attraverso i prismi è molto chiara e l'utilizzo – nel mio caso – non ha comportato alcun senso di nausea o vertigini. Il punto di forza di questo prodotto è che, grazie al sistema a clip, può essere applicato su diverse tipologie di occhiali. In dotazione è presente anche un comodo astuccio dotato di piccolo moschettone, nel quale riporre il prodotto nei momenti di non utilizzo e per proteggerlo dalla polvere.

MUY BIEN
Las gafas son estupendas, se adaptan perfectamente sobre nuestra propia gafa y funcionan correctamente. Vienen en un estuche que se ve resistente para protegerlas y colgarlas de la mochila con mosquetón.
