Low price Belay Glasses from Czech republic

The CU belay glasses were introduced to the market nine years ago and lately many cheaper copies have been developed. Belay Glasses comes from the Czech Republic and offers their product for 77 Euros in comparison to the original 119 for the CUs. Comparing the two different products, having used the same pair CUs for eight years, the new cheaper ones logically do not feel the same although they still do the job, saving my neck from pain equally good, and with excellent visibility too. From a personal point of view, I like the CU's more discrete look, which is much nicer, and also how they fit my nose and head but on the other hand the cheaper ones feel much more robust. CU has solved this by including a solid plastic box and it would be good if Belay Glasses also offered such box. Overall, the Czech belay glasses seem to be of very good quality but with the current price difference, I still have to recommend the CU. They are made in Germany without almost any reclamation for several years. However, there will be a Christmas sale offering a special price of only Euro 39 for the Czech belay glasses, so it might be worth giving them the chance, even without the plastic box.
