Description

The 101 SAR model is a living legend: it is the goggle that accompanied the historic Italian expedition to K2 in 1954, worn by Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni. Made with silver-colored lightweight aluminum cups, these goggles combine maximum technical protection with a heroic aesthetic. The soft chocolate-colored leather cushion and the removable lined nose bridge offer a total barrier against wind and glare, making them ideal for high-altitude mountaineering, snow excursions, and for motorcyclists seeking an authentic vintage look.
