How MLB Umpires, Skiers, and Others Benefit from PeakVision Sunglasses

When people think of PeakVision sunglasses, golf usually comes to mind first. And for good reason. Our patented Dual-Zone lens technology is a game-changer on the course, helping players read greens with greater clarity and accuracy. But what many don’t realize is that the same technology that helps golfers excel is also being used by professionals in other high-performance environments, including Major League Baseball umpires and competitive skiers.

Trusted Behind Home Plate

PeakVision sunglasses were put to the test by Major League Baseball, not just in theory, but in action. MLB conducted rigorous evaluations of our lenses for distortion, optical clarity, eye fatigue, visual acuity, and speed of perception. The results were so strong that the league purchased PeakVision sunglasses for every MLB umpire.

Why? Because umpires make split-second decisions under intense lighting conditions, often battling glare from stadium lights or a setting sun. With PeakVision’s upper neutral gray zone, they get superior glare control, while the amber zone below enhances contrast and detail on the field. That’s the kind of advantage professionals can’t afford to go without.

Performing on the Slopes

Skiers also face extreme lighting challenges. Bright sunlight reflects off snow, causing eye strain and a depletion of rhodopsin (the enzyme your eyes need to see clearly at night). Traditional gray lenses might reduce glare but do little to prevent the long-term effects of UV exposure or improve visibility of terrain contours.

That’s where PeakVision goes above and beyond. Our Dual-Zone lens transitions from a gray upper zone to a vermillion lower zone which is great for skiers. This unique combination helps reduce glare from the sky while improving the skier’s ability to read slopes and navigate terrain changes. The result is greater control, faster reaction time, and less fatigue after a full day on the mountain.

The PeakVision Advantage Across Sports

What sets PeakVision apart is not just lens quality, but the way we’ve engineered our optics to serve multiple environments. Whether you're lining up a putt, tracking a 95 MPH fastball, or carving through snow at high speed, our hybrid optics provide unmatched clarity and comfort.

  • 100% UV400 protection
  • Zero-distortion clarity comparable to crown glass
  • Anti-reflective and smudge-resistant coatings
  • Impact-resistant and lightweight materials
  • Our goal has always been simple: help serious athletes see better and perform better.

See the Game Differently

If you're a golfer, skier, or anyone who performs in high-light, high-focus situations, PeakVision sunglasses are built for you. Don’t settle for lenses that force you to choose between glare protection and surface visibility. With PeakVision, you can have both.

Experience the difference trusted by pros across sports. Try PeakVision and see the game the way it was meant to be seen.
