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 :-)

White out/low light glasses

Don't like wearing goggles, much prefer glasses. Just wondering what type of lenses you would recommend for white out/low light.

2waterford, Either Persimmon or Hi Yellow would be good. I personnally prefer the hi yellow and have a pair.

However if the sun starts to come through you really need to change them. Theres a thread or two on here about it.

Usually aldi carry a pair of glasses for sports with interchangable lenses, one of which is yellow. Cheap as chips and perfectly adequate.

Hmm. Judging by a review on amazon, changing the lenses on the Oakley Canopy goggles is very difficult. Having successfully battled with contact lenses I am minded to treat myself to some nice new goggles to take advantage of my improved field of vision, but changeability of lenses would be important - I'd want a hi yellow lens of poor visibility, and something for bright light too.

From experience I tend to go with googles in flat/low light even though I own sun glasses with interchangeable clear and low light lenses. This is because the temp tends to drop in such conditions and I think the additional wind protection is worth it in such circumstances. As Bones implies, having both googles and sunglasses also allows as hassle free change when the light is changing back and forth.

I still hit the invisble mounds all too often tho' ......

Not wearing goggles on cold flat light days is as crazy as a bag of cats.

Do it, it'll keep your face cosy.

I wear Anon Hawkeye goggles. I have the Green Solex lens for bluebird and the Blue Lagoon lens for flat light. Dead easy to swap lenses! Although the Blue Lagoon lens isn't half bad for bluebird too, so tend to just use that one, especially if skiing in the shadow of the mountain a lot.

I would second the above comments about wearing goggles on flat light / white out days. In my experience those wearing glasses on these days end up taking them off / them falling off / them getting snow on the inside, rendering them useless. I took me a while to get used to goggles but it is worth the perseverance as with a decent pair you will always have good vision (relatively) and a much smaller chance of them flying off if you take a slam. And your eyes wont be streaming at the bottom of a bit of straight lining!

The Dragon range has a gzillion lens choices for all types of light. I carry an ionized for bright conditions and either a yellow or amber for the flat light days. One other bit of advice for snowy days: don't take your goggles off and put them on your head. Ever! Well not until you are in the bar Very Happy
