Quick Answer
Wear polarized sunglasses or goggles specifically designed for snow sports, and consider adding a windshield visor to your snowmobile or vehicle to reduce glare. Choose a tint that's not too dark, as this can make it harder to see in low-light conditions. Consider wearing goggles for added protection.
Choosing the Right Goggles
When selecting goggles for snow sports, look for ones with a high-quality lens that’s specifically designed to reduce glare from snow and ice. A good pair of goggles should have a polarized lens that blocks 95-99% of reflective glare. Consider goggles with a yellow or amber tint, as these can help improve visibility in low-light conditions. Avoid goggles with a tint that’s too dark, as this can make it harder to see in low-light conditions.
Additional Protection
Consider adding a windshield visor to your snowmobile or vehicle to reduce glare from the snow. A windshield visor can be especially helpful for snowmobilers, as it can help reduce glare from the snow and ice ahead. For snowmobilers and skiers, wearing goggles with a strap that fits snugly around the head can help prevent goggles from slipping down the nose and face.
