UV protection blocks 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, which are intensified at higher altitudes and reflected by snow, preventing eye damage and snow blindness. Polarized lenses reduce glare from snow and ice, enhancing contrast and visibility, which improves safety and comfort during outdoor activities like skiing or hiking.
Lens tints like amber, rose, or copper enhance contrast and depth perception in snowy or overcast conditions. Mirror coatings reduce glare and dazzle, while photochromic lenses adapt to changing light, making them versatile for varying weather on the slopes.
Look for wraparound frames that provide wide coverage and block light from multiple angles. Lightweight, durable materials reduce strain and slipping during activity. Adjustable or flexible arms and nose pads improve fit, especially when worn with helmets or hats.
Many ski sunglasses feature anti-fog coatings or ventilation systems to reduce lens fogging caused by temperature changes and moisture. Using anti-fog wipes or sprays can also help maintain clear vision on the slopes.
Sunglasses offer lighter weight, better ventilation, and can be more comfortable for casual skiing or sunny days. Goggles provide superior protection in extreme weather, full-face coverage, and better fog resistance. Choice depends on conditions and personal preference.
Clean lenses with a microfibre cloth and lens cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals. Store sunglasses in a protective case to prevent scratches and damage. Proper care maintains lens clarity and extends the life of your eyewear.
