Buyers Guide to Eye ProtectionSimply being in the mountains is brilliant and the best days are those with clear blue skies and sunshine. However, with the intensity of colours, extra brightness and high concentration of UV, it is important to protect our eyes, in all the conditions the mountains can throw at us.
The right sunglasses and goggles are therefore essential pieces of mountain safety equipment, they can provide both protection and improve vision, allowing you to make the most of the day safe in the knowledge your eyes are protected.
So, if you are considering buying a new pair of sunnies – you have DEFINITELY come to the right place! Here are a few questions you might like to consider before choosing which are right for you:
- Why do I need to know about visible light and invisible light?- What is the difference between regular sunglasses, sports sunglasses and glacier sunglasses?- Should I carry sunglasses or goggles?- What are the differences between lenses?- What does the Filter Index or Lens Category mean?
- Is the colour of the lens important?
- Do sunglasses come in different sizes?
- Do you sell prescription sunglasses and goggles?
- Can I get my sunglasses repaired?

Top Tips to make the right choice.....The three key areas to think about when buying eye protection for active sports are: Grip, Fit and Lenses.
If you are planning on wearing your sunglasses or goggles with a cycling, kayaking or climbing helmet then bring it with you to try both together.
If you are buying online than don’t forget to check out all of the frame measurements to ensure the correct fit for you.
If you are using OTG goggles, use an anti-fog treatment on your glasses to stop them fogging up.
Keep your sunglasses in a case to avoid scratching and clean with a microfibre cloth to keep them working as long as possible. It’s obvious, we know, but it’ll save you a stack load of money in the long run AND it’s better for the planet!
