GLACIER SUNGLASSES

While the right pair of glacier glasses for you depends on your unique needs, every frame you consider must include essential features for top-notch safety and comfort.

THE BEST GLACIER GOGGLES & SUNGLASSES FEATURES

Start with lenses that can effectively block UVA and UVB rays for crucial eye protection. Don't forget polarized lenses—they're a must for reducing glare and improving visibility in bright sunlight.

Glacier glasses with side shields are essential for anyone exploring high-altitude settings. Side shields block your eyes from peripheral light, glare, and snow. This extra coverage gives your eyes top protection and decreases discomfort from wind and debris. If you're an alpinist, mountaineer, or engaging in polar expeditions, having glacier glasses with side shields is a must for total eye protection in extreme conditions. Plus, you can find goggles with removable side shields that can be taken off when needed.

The shape and size of your lenses is equally important—they impact your field of view during activities. To keep your lenses from fogging up, consider glacier goggles with anti-fog coatings.

Lastly, opt for mountaineering sunglasses with high-quality scratch and impact-resistant materials. Comfort and security are key, so look for styles with rubber grips or adjustable nose pads.
