Functional outdoor eyewear offers maximum protection but often has a technical look. Stylish sunglasses excel in everyday urban life but quickly reach their limits in demanding conditions.
With The Alpine, The Alpine RX, and The Rover, VIU bridges both worlds. Guided by the concept of a „seamless transition,“ a new generation of outdoor eyewear has emerged—designed for a fluid transition between performance and everyday life, between the trail and the pavement.
Aesthetic Freedom. Everywhere.
Crafted from PA12 using a high-precision 3D printing process, these models combine exceptional lightness and high durability with a progressive design language. The technical construction is not an end in itself, but rather an expression of the design.
The base lens, featuring an 85% tint, effectively reduces glare, while the distinctive 3D-printed side hoods offer additional protection against sunlight from the sides. At the same time, they define the collection’s unmistakable silhouette.
Made to perform. Designed to transition.
The side hoods form the functional and aesthetic heart of the collection. In alpine terrain, they enhance protection and improve visual clarity. In urban environments, they become an architectural design feature.
The result is eyewear that seamlessly blends technical performance with precise design—created for those who refuse to choose between function and aesthetics.
Stays with you.
An integrated nylon cord keeps the glasses within easy reach at all times, making them a natural companion—whether on the trail or in everyday life. Function becomes part of the design; design becomes part of daily use.
Precision, without compromise.
Available as both sunglasses and an optical version, the Alpine RX combines state-of-the-art optics with the same progressive frame design. The result is uncompromising visual precision—regardless of the environment.
