Alpen Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; President: Atsuyuki Mizuno), a sporting goods retailer, operates "Golf 5." Golf 5 will exclusively launch the first golf-specific line from "OWL MILS," an eyewear brand that has gained immense support from outdoor enthusiasts for its advanced optical technology. These models will be available from April 10, 2026 (Friday) at Golf 5 stores nationwide and online.
Born in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, one of the world's leading eyewear production regions, these products combine long-standing expertise in the eyewear industry with cutting-edge optical technology. As Golf 5 exclusive models, "Apollon" and "Sif" will be released. The "polarized x high-contrast" lens technology, refined in the harsh environments of mountaineering and fishing, has been optimized for golf, offering an unprecedented "ease of reading greens."
**1. Design Philosophy from Sabae, a World-Recognized Eyewear Production Region, and Reliable Quality Control**
These products are planned and designed in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, one of the world's three major eyewear production regions.
Inspection and quality checks are carried out by staff with many years of experience in the eyewear industry, ensuring meticulous attention to fitting balance and finish. They are designed to be used with confidence not only in golf scenes involving intense swings but also in outdoor environments requiring strong sunlight and long hours of wear.
**2. Unique "MILS LENS" Highlights the Undulations of the Green**
The essence of sunglasses, the lens, is equipped with the proprietary "MILS LENS," developed in collaboration with a Sabae manufacturer. The hybrid "MILS LENS," which combines glare-reducing polarization with color-enhancing high-contrast functions, allows golfers to perceive the subtle slopes and grain of the green three-dimensionally, supporting putting accuracy. By cutting harmful UV rays and diffused reflections while maintaining a natural and clear field of vision, it achieves both the visibility and ease of use required for golf at a high level.
**3. Golf-Specific Stress-Free Design: "Ultra-Lightweight x High-Fit"**
Shifting during swings and fatigue from prolonged wear are the golfer's arch-enemies. Both models adopt ultra-lightweight materials, resulting in surprisingly light and flexible frames. Furthermore, designed to fit the Japanese bone structure, they provide a secure hold even during intense swings. This reduces pressure on the ears and nose, preventing distraction from play.
