Style

There are many different styled glasses to choose from that will help improve your outdoor experience. Wraparound glasses are great for virtually any outdoor activity as they stay snug and are less likely to slip down the bridge of the nose or fall and get broken. Make sure that the glasses you choose have a nice, snug fit.

Lens Options

It’s important to choose the best lens to go with the type of outdoor activity you choose. Polarized lenses will help to minimize glare from the sun, as will mirror lenses. Mirror lenses will help to block additional sunlight at higher altitudes or in snowy areas. Polycarbonate are best for outdoor activities due to the fact that they are shatter resistant. Or if you want to keep the same glasses and not have to keep changing, try photo-chromatic, which will darken and lighten depending on sun exposure.

Whichever you choose, be sure they are strong, and will keep your sight protected from outside elements such as sun and dust.
