Okay folks lucky me needs new sunglasses for the coming season. What do you recommend and why? Just so you know I have accumulated a full set of very good equipment over the last couple of years and this is the missing link. I had a pair of Alpina dual lensed thingies but they are scratched and ruined now. Also, it would need to be very hot and very sunny for me to wear glasses instead of goggles so I really only need lenses for sunshine rather than pink, flat light lenses.

I haven't skied in a pair of sunnies for ages.
I'd still go for something with interchangeable lenses if I were you, something like the Oakley Racing Jacket.

Probably stating the obvious here, but whatever you get go with polarised. It amazes me how many of the higher end sunnies are not

Sunglasses is one place I go cheap and cheerful as they are going to get broken, left in mountain bars or otherwise destroyed or lost. Aldi/Lidl/Decathlon do the job and not the end of the the world when they need to be replaced.

I got a pair of these last season:
Interchangeable lenses. As goggles they're great (even under a lid) and also good as sunnies when skiing more "gently".

Tag Heuer polarised......or Oakley Polarised.
Don't wear with a helmet

As a specs wearer, this really annoys me. There is really nothing wrong with this, if one takes precautions.

Bolle Spiral with Gray polarised lenses  .. Brilliant for skiing, but also just as good for casual summer wear. Mine are permanantly attached to my head (In the past 4 years, I warn out 3 pairs of them!).

+ 1 for the oakley jawbones or rather racing jackets as i think they are called now. Work fine with a helmet when it's hot enough. And you will like the endless options for lenses...
I did have those adidas elevation ones but found the lens changing very fiddley indeed.

Guys, you can take all the precautions you like, but if you wear sunnies with a helmet - you will be laughed at, and deservedly so!
Just saying.

Having read the banter above about helmets and glasses, I can now recall why I never ski in glasses anymore
