Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Sunglasses for low light

 Poster: A snowHead

Have some nice cat3 glasses for sunny days. Not a big fan of wearing goggles and hoped you guys could recommend some sun glasses for low light conditions.

I have some Adidas with interchangeable lenses. They're a few years old now but still very good.

There are some cycling wrap arounds with the sort of lens colours usually seen in low light goggles, some interchangeable, I haven't tried these but for £15 or so they would be worth a go. I find polarised sunglasses give good definition in flat light (2 pairs polaroid and Oakley). Polaroids are good for reasonably priced glasses with good quality optics. It is personal preference, I find sunnies aren't too dark for looking at snow unless it is chucking it down so that goggles are the only option. For me polarised gives improve definition compared with clear or non polarised/tinted sunnies but some people say polarised makes it worse and love the yellow/ rose tints, you have to try and see.

There are flat light lenses. Often find when conditions need them I'm happy using my goggles. I have a pair that are good but don't often use them for that reason.

I've some fairly inexpensive cycling glasses with interchangeable lenses (Cebe I think) but I wouldn't want to wear them for skiing as I just don't think they're robust enough. They definitely wouldn't survive a faceplant Happy

Do yellow/rose sunglasses still provide adequate eye protection from the sun?

Yes, they will generally have the same UV protection (which is clear).

We've used Smiths with interchangeable lenses for quite some years now very happily. Typically delivered with one darker and one low light lens.

Cheers for replies. Looks like fleabay has plenty at £10-20. Just need to find some in yellow which I believe is good for flat light.

@Mike-H, You also want to look at:

These are shown as goggles, but they come with legs that replace the elasticated strap. I find them very comfortable (with the legs) and they have a padded, shaped insert you can have either on or off, to reduce the wind round your eyes. I find without it, my eyes water something terrible.

@Mike-H, Julbo 'zebra' photochromatic lenses. They do a range of frame styles but that lens is superb. the only ski glasses you'll ever need

I borrowed a pair of Bolle goggles once which had a red lens. They gave the snow a distinct blue tinge but I could see every undulation in low light. Never been able to find the same lens again.
