Belay Specs are belay glasses that provide a comfortable, higher quality, more attentive belay. Our belay glasses use light bending prisms allowing the belayer to look up without bend his/her neck. Eliminating extreme neck bending minimizes typical belay discomfort, allowing belayers to keep a constant eye on their partners and provide a better, more responsive belay.

Reduced Time with Head Bent Back: Since Belay Specs bend the incoming light, the belayer doesn't have to bend their neck to keep an eye on the climber. Anyone who has belayed for a time knows how quickly the looking up position becomes uncomfortable.

More Attentive Belaying: Not have to bend your neck to see up means the belayer can comfortably keep a close eye on their partner. The belayer will be more likely to see a foot behind the rope, notice a back clip, realize their climber is looking shakey or remember the sequence through a cruxy bit.

Rock Fall and Debris: A more attentive belayer is also more likely to see things that can hurt them, namely falling rock, and be able to avoid them. An unexpected benefit of belay glasses is that you're less likely to get sand or debris in your eye because you're eyes aren't facing up.

Better Belaying Position: Since looking up is comfortable, the belayer isn't tempted to step back from the wall risking a longer leader fall and having the belayer getting sucked into the wall.
