The XP Cross-Performance line spans three sub-
categories – Terra, Hydra and Glacia – to provide
optimal functionality with features that adjust
to demanding outdoor conditions, creating a
customized experience on land, water or snow.
The Glacia category is purpose-built for those who
push their limits touring, hiking and exploring the
backcountry, serving as the perfect companion to
keep them prepared for the changing environments
and challenges they will face on their journey.
The Excursion X and Latitude X sunglasses come
equipped with removable sun shields for blocking
harsh UV light associated with high-altitude, while
the detachable leash and interchangeable cable
temples allow for added security and comfort.
These styles are available in lens tints that are
best for snow-based activities, whether it’s a sunny
bluebird day or cloudy conditions. These styles
are also designed with injected plant-based resin,
rendering these frames as eco-friendly.
Offering all-day comfort on or off the beaten path,
this square-like frame is enhanced by a six-base
curvature and ProFlex rubber on the nose and
temples.
Lewis is quick to tout Zeal’s goggle offering for this
winter as well.
“Zeal Optics has a universal prescription insert
that fits securely inside any Zeal Optics goggle
frame. This keeps your prescription in place and
optically aligned so you can hit the slopes in our
Optimum, Polarized or Automatic+ lenses built for
all conditions,” says Lewis.
The Portal XL is Zeal Optics’ new rimless frame
design with unsurpassed peripheral vision, upper
and lower ventilation, and a triple layer face
foam. Portal XL is equipped with Zeal Optics
revolutionary Rail Lock System that allows you
to guide, slide, and lock your goggle lens in place
anywhere on the mountains. OP
Zeal Optics has a trio of new sunglasses that are
bound to be popular with outdoor enthusiasts this
winter.
“We strive to make every Zeal Optics frame
compatible with your prescription and your
lifestyle,” says Zeal’s director of marketing, Mike
Lewis.
Boone is a light and airy style from Zeal that can
keep up no matter where the day takes you. The
four-base curvature frame is equipped with ProFlex
rubber providing a soft and comfortable hold.
Durango is strong and adventure-ready. With a
wider fit, the low-profile sunglasses are perfect for
taking in mountain or ocean vistas with a huge
field of vision.
And for lightweight lovers, the Campo is your go-to
because it weighs in at under one ounce.
