I suspect this has been asked before, but I know there are new products onto the market all the time.
I am looking for recommendations for a pair of good sunglasses for skiing. It would be good if they were usable for the summer as well.
I quite like Oakleys and was looking at the solid jackets.
Anyone have these? Wind is one of the most important factors and they have to fit under my helmet. Ps I want fully framed lenses.
Or any other recommendations?

Thanks.
Which ones do you use? Do you use a helmet?

I wear Dirty Dog sunnies. Very cool looking, great to ski in, dont mist up at all, and good all year round use as well. Much better priced than Oakleys as well.

Good quality UV screened unbreakable glasses that you like and can afford.
I reckon that's the criteria.
If it were me I would be going to try a few on with my helmet - comfort and a snug fit is so important.
My main glasses are branded Spyder - who knows who made them - but my spares are Bolle safety specs from the builders merchant @ £10 !!

Hi have had a pair of Revo sunglasses for the last 14 years. I swear by them, the lenses are superb.
I have used them annually for skiing and also for several summers when I was fortunate enough to have access to a yacht and did some coastal cruising.
I would definitely have them very high on my list if I decide to replace them.

Check out UV400 safety glasses, and cycling glasses. Unlike sunglasses, they are designed not to injure your face/eyes during an impact. Many look like designer sun glasses, but you can afford to take two pairs, not worry about someone sitting on them, and throw them away when scratched. Most are UV400 rated.

I often modify the arms to be comfortable under a helmet. Something I would be loth to do with expensive sunglasses.
