| Sunglasses or
goggles?
Boarders generally prefer the “cool” look
of goggles but “coolness” aside; it is often
difficult to know whether to wear goggles or glasses.
There
is no hard and fast rule but generally goggles are
warn for any of the following reasons:
1) It is snowing
or raining
2) If your eyes are prone to water in cold
conditions or when travelling at speed
3) You need to
wear spectacles
If in doubt carry glasses and goggles
or just take goggles. If you choose to wear glasses,
make sure they provide 100% ultra violet protection. Whether
you wear glasses or goggles think about the lens tint.
Orange is a good all round tint.
yellow, orange or rose tints are best for flat light,
which you may well encounter in December/January and
possibly February.
Green or grey tint is less effective. |
