The S-Lens VZUM on the Stratos is the newest lens from Alba Optic, and it features a small vent above the bridge that allows just the right amount of airflow — they’ll resist fog despite heavy breathing on climbs. The lens also features UV400 protection, so your eyes are safe from both UVA and UVB radiation. Each frame is incredibly lightweight (just 24 grams, basically the same as an AA battery) and handmade in Italy.

With ALBA Optics we want to bring the iconic shapes of the past back to life, adapting to the latest modern technology. Our sunglasses frames, the lenses and packaging are totally hand made in Italy. The ALBA team stands behind athletes who strive everyday to improve their sport performances and to make their dreams come true, by offering a design product beautiful to wear and totally functional from a technical point of view.
