All ALPE Eyewear models feature the same high-quality lenses with 100% UV protection and optimal contrast.
The difference lies in the design, fit, and lens color/VLT – where the VLT value (Visible Light Transmission) indicates how much light is let through.

1. VLT – why it matters in autumn

  • Low VLT (10–20 %) – darker lenses that let in less light, best for bright sunlight and open landscapes.

  • Medium VLT (20–40 %) – versatile lenses that work well in both sun and clouds, perfect for autumn’s changing weather.

  • High VLT40 %+) – lighter lenses that let in more light, ideal for dusk or cloudy weather.

💡 Tips: For autumn running, it is often medium VLT the most all-round choice, as the light changes quickly. Read more on our lens guide.
