Sunglasses

To choose your sunglasses, you can either select a model specifically designed for high-altitude activities or a general-purpose pair intended for less strenuous activities such as hiking. To give you the widest possible choice, the experts at Snowleader outdoor shop have selected the best sunglasses available.

How to choose your sunglasses

On a sunny or snowy day, sunglasses provide your eyes with essential protection against the sun’s potentially harmful UV rays. Insufficient eye protection can lead not only to unpleasant headaches, but also permanent damage to the eyes, so you need to make sure you have something that is appropriate to the conditions you’ll encounter. Certain models which are especially designed for high-altitude activities are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, and also feature lenses that offer a particularly high degree of protection in terms of their UV-filtering capacity. To distinguish between different types of sunglasses, manufacturers rate the degree of protection in categories from 0 (minimal protection) to 4 (maximum protection). When choosing, don’t forget that lighting conditions are rarely uniform: the sun might be blinding at noon, but you’ll probably also be out and about on cloudier days too.

Although not essential for hiking, sunglasses with robust, shatterproof lenses are crucial for certain sports, such as skiing and cycling. That’s why Snowleader outdoor shop offers an exceptionally wide range of sunglasses, from the simplest styles to the most sophisticated, for men, women and children. Whether you want to buy one multi-purpose pair of sunglasses for all your outdoor activities, or to purchase a specific pair for each sport, you’ll find a great choice from major brands such as Julbo and Adidas Eyewear.
