With the A frames goggles, lens info seems to be hard to come by. For high altitude mountaineering up to 7200M, do these meet the Cat 4/Spectron 4 Requirements? If not, what goggles do? I know these are 100% UV, but how much visable light can get through? Thanks in advance for your help. If Googles are a back up to glacier glasses or to be used in high winds, will A-Frames make the cut? Thank you in advance.

Hey there,
The darkest lens that is available on the A Frames looks to be the VR28 Polarized. It's 14%/Cat 3. So, better than normal sunglasses, but not quite glacier glass status.
That being said, many of the Julbo goggles intended for climbing are around that, and if you read Cascade Climbers, lots of people like the A Frames...though I don't know how many of them are going up to 7000.
Check out the Julbo Eclipse. They are photochromatic and switch from 40%-6.6% and Cat 2-4. Supposed to transition really quickly. I haven't used em, but maybe someone on here has...
