EyeSend belay glasses are the only rock climbing glasses on the market that let you adjust the field of view. EyeSend eliminate neck strain by allowing the belayer to adjust their field of view using the optics in their glasses instead of the muscles in their neck. They are the most innovative rock climbing glasses on the market. Other than EyeSend, all current belay glasses only elevate your view by a fixed 60°, which is the steepness of a low-angle slab route. Most climbers like to climb routes steeper than this, including vertical (90°) and overhanging routes. With current glasses, you're craning your neck to still see up on these steeper cliffs. EyeSend glasses solve this problem with the first-ever adjustable prism. This prism moves, letting you adjust your view from a 60° slab to a 120° overhang. With EyeSend, you can belay on virtually any cliff without bending your neck. EyeSend work beautifully for both indoor and outdoor rock climbing. EyeSend glasses come with a sturdy carrying case, a microfiber cleaning cloth and a field service kit. The case has a beefy, ½” webbing carabiner attachment so there is no fear of the webbing breaking even if you abuse the case on multi-pitch climbing routes.

Wish I had gotten them sooner.
Well made. Light weight and strong. The swivel mirrors are not a gimmick, they work smoothly and allow for the best stance for the cliff angle. Case design is rugged and extremely well thought out. Quick velcro access combined with secure zipper closure. No more neck strain. Get them!

Poor optical quality and chunky
Compared to other belay goggles I’ve used (and tested side by side with these), these have poor prism and mirror optical quality (chromatic aberrations/double image, warping like a funhouse mirror, not perfectly sharp image).The frame, especially on the bottom where you peek to check out the rope slack and belay device, is chunkier than any other goggles I have and gets in the way.They also feel less durable because they’re not as bendy, the plastic arms feel brittle and I wouldn’t want to bend them too much when putting on/off my face.The case is awesome though, and the entire glasses design is a great idea with sub-par execution.Overall I’d keep these if they were $20-30 but at their price point they are not worth it whatsoever.

Pricey...& Worth Every Penny
I've owned several pairs of belay glasses over the years, and they were all serviceable. I didn't realize how limited they were until I started using these. They are fast and easy to adjust. The adjustment lever is on the left side, so if you're right handed, or you use a Grigri to belay, you don't have to use your break hand to adjust the angle of the prisms. Which is really convenient when you're belaying someone on a steep route and need to adjust them periodically. I was hesitant about these at first. I thought the price was crazy. Especially for a brand I'd never used before. They are twice as expensive as most of the other reputable brands. But they are TOTALLY worth it. I only regret not getting them sooner. I'll be ordering a second pair soon. My wife and I both want a pair of these to keep with our gear.

Would not buy again, but gets the job done.
Updated review: After using these for months I prefer them over all other belay glasses I have tried. It took some getting used to, but the glare I mentioned earlier (see below) doesn’t bother me at all anymore; in fact I don’t even notice it’s there now. I love the adjustable lenses, they SAVE my neck!! I also like them so much more now that I have peeled off the rubber around the ears (it was pulling my hair). I would update to 5 stars but I’m giving it 4/5 because the rubber pulled my hair so much and the price is higher than I would expect for belay glasses ($95 at the time of this review).Pros: lightweight, can put on one-handed. Able to wear with some (but not all) sunglasses. The case is protective and lightweight with it’s own mini carabiner, making it easy to clip to a gear loop. These are quite comfortable and the lenses aren’t too narrow.Cons: My biggest gripe is that these have a glare. Because if the adjustable prisms (to compensate for slight neck adjustments), they create a weird glare that I’ve noticed outside and a horribly obvious glare in the gym. The adjustment also does sort-of flatten/distort the climber, but you are still able to see what you need. They don’t work well with my sporty sunglasses. They only work with my cheap dollar-store glasses.

Great for Steep Climbing
These are ideal for steep crags like the Red or New. You can track your climber no matter how steep the route is. Good for avoiding neck pain.

Perfect ;))
No comparison.

Cool idea but badly distorted optics
I really liked the idea of these and followed their kickstarter. My fiance bought them for me for christmas and I was bummed when I first tried to use them. The image projected is badly distorted - it's like watching a standard formatted tv show in 16:9 wide angle. Your climber looks weirdly squished top & bottom and stretched side to side. If the sun is hitting the rocks, there is glaring chromatic aberration that is incredibly distracting. Wish they worked better, but made me appreciate my regular non-moving metolious belay goggles.

worth the cost of you have neck issues
They are very helpful and completely eliminate the need to look up. The hinge pops out which may cause them to eventually fail. They are expensive. The adjustment is easy to do with one hand. The prisms are a sealed unit and don't get dusty in between the prism and mirror. They fore-shorten the view somewhat as well as cause some weird colored light fringes when looking into the sun and there is a very faint ghost second image in some conditions. None of these Optical effects are very bothersome. Build quality is good overall and I will likely buy again when these wear out.
