Established at the foot of the Alps between Vercors and Monts d’Ardéche, CIMALP designs material for all mountain sports: skiing, hiking, mountaineering and mainly Mountain Running, that in a few years become the star of the company within the French market. They are technical products at a contained price and only available online.

CIMALP MAX FLY: CONCLUSIONS

This goggles might not be the typical ones, being far from heavily framed ski goggles, they feature well-thought-out solutions which are their srtong points.

Moreover, they really work well in cold and high intensity conditions, specifically designed for ski mountaneering and paraglinding, but also great to be used in winter alpinism, alpine ski and any other high intensity activity.

While going uphill and many of the glasses or goggles will start to fog, this ones keep on being dry and allow you to enjoy the landscape and be safe while climbing throught difficult terrain.

The category 3 flash mirror screen offers great protection against the sun and also provides enough claritry in the shadow areas or late in the afternoon, when sometimes is difficult to see the snow surroundings.
