Why choose cross-country skiing glasses or visors?

Protection against the elements

Cross-country skiing exposes your eyes to numerous hazards: glare from the snow, icy winds, and harmful UV rays at altitude. In the mountains, the light is particularly intense. A good pair of cross-country ski goggles or visors will effectively protect you throughout your outing. The filter lenses block ultraviolet rays, while the wraparound frame limits the infiltration of cold air.
