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 :-)

OverGlasses Sunglasses
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I have to ski wearing my varifocals... so that I can
- read the piste signage
- see the piste at my feet
- read a pistemap
- read a food/drink menu.

I already have OTG Goggles which work perfectly, but I sometimes prefer to ski just wearing sunglasses (Goggles sometimes feel a bit constrictive)

I "made" (yes... i know!) some flip-up wrap-around sunglasses using a pair of old cycling wrap-around lenses attached to the flip-up device that your Dad used to use in the 60s/70s!!!!
They just about cover the sides of my glasses, reducing snow-glare getting in that way, but they are a little clunky and look like I have a bulldog clip above my nose!

Has anyone found anything that looks better which provides a polarised lens at the sides and front which you can wear with your normal glasses?

I have varifocal polarised wraparound sunglasses. Why not just buy some of those? Got them from Asda, excellent value and the varifocal came at no extra charge.

OMG it's so obvious/simple but I have been searching for a complicated solution.
I assume specs4less are : https://www.spex4less.com/sports-glasses/cycling-glasses
those are cycling... was that the kind you've gone for?

I can't see sports sunglasses on the opticians.asda.com website.

Thanks both... this have given me a new search direction which is bound to come up with what I need.

Also types as link https://cocoons.uk/shop/cocoons/fitovers/cocoons-polarised-fitover-sunglasses/cocoons-aviator-xl-slate-framepolarized-gray-lenses/ fairly common in aviation I understand.

Polarised isn't a priority in ski as virtually all light is specular (varied point scource ) as opposed to planar in origin that is most effectively polarised. Something suitable but lacking this element will likely perform the same, and so not a particular characteristic to seek if not available.

It should be borne in mind that wearing ordinary glasses for partaking in active sporting activities is not sensible. If you value your eyesight you should have polycarbonate lenses. Glasses with small nose pads are not advisable as well.
