If you love hiking, do you know how harmful UV rays in the mountains can be for your eyes? At higher altitudes, the thinner air filters less UV radiation. On average, UV intensity increases 4% for every 300m gained in elevation. Since Taiwan’s high mountains reach around 3,000m, UV rays there can be about 40% stronger than at sea level. That’s why wearing a hat, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing is essential to guard against UV damage. In this post, let’s unbox one of my favorite outdoor sunglasses: the 720 Armour Mars one-piece oversized frame - 720 Armour Mars Sunglasses.
Recently, I’ve taken the 720 Mars everywhere—from trail running and high-mountain hikes like Dajiajian and Wuling Four Peaks to daily jogging and cycling. They’ve become my reliable partner.
As mentioned earlier, UV exposure is about 40% higher in the mountains. Thanks to its oversized wraparound design, the Mars provides comprehensive eye protection.
At first, I thought the look might feel a little odd since I had never worn single-frame sunglasses before. But once I tried them, I realized they look professional, stylish, and surprisingly cool!
Made from low-carbon, eco-friendly materials, the Mars is designed for outdoor activities and sports. It delivers full visibility, high-performance lenses and frames, and a secure, comfortable fit. Whether I’m trail running, jogging, or rock climbing, it stays firmly in place without any wobbling, protecting my eyes while giving me a broad view. I highly recommend picking up a pair!
