MEN'S SUNGLASSES

Choose sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection to guard against intense sun at high altitudes. Wraparound frames or shield designs offer full coverage, blocking wind, snow, and sunlight from all angles. Consider photochromic lenses for changing light conditions and anti-fog coatings to maintain clear vision during activity.

Polarised lenses reduce glare from snow and reflective surfaces, making them great for general outdoor use. However, they can sometimes make it harder to spot icy patches or changes in terrain, which may be a safety concern on the slopes. Photochromic or mirrored lenses are often better suited for winter sports.

Wraparound sunglasses provide superior coverage, protecting your eyes from wind, debris, and sunlight from the sides. This design is especially useful at high speeds or in harsh weather, ensuring your eyes stay shielded and your vision remains unobstructed during skiing or snowboarding. 

Snow reflects up to 80% of UV radiation, increasing your exposure and risk of eye damage such as snow blindness or long-term conditions like cataracts. Always select sunglasses that offer 100% UVA and UVB protection to keep your eyes safe during snowsports and mountain activities. 

Everyday sunglasses often lack the coverage, fit, and lens technology needed for snowsports. For skiing or mountaineering, choose sunglasses with wraparound frames, anti-fog features, and lenses designed for high glare and changing light. These ensure optimal protection and performance in extreme conditions. 

Photochromic lenses automatically adjust their tint based on light conditions, darkening in bright sun and lightening in shade or cloudy weather. This adaptability is ideal for skiing or snowboarding, where lighting can change rapidly on the mountain, ensuring consistent visibility and comfort.
