Best sunglasses for skiing and snowboarding, tried and tested
Mar 11, 2025
Booking a ski holiday is no simple task.
Not only must you grapple with spending a small fortune to rent equipment, secure accommodation and ensure that you’re well-fed for multiple days of hardcore exercise, but you’re at the constant mercy of one notoriously fickle beast, the weather.
In the days before setting off on a ski trip, we often enter ‘dad mode’. Multiple meteorological apps are downloaded onto smartphones and tablets while trip participants and excitable skiers pretend to understand the intricacies of snow forecasts.
We act this way in order to feel a semblance of control over the conditions that we’ll be entering, but we certainly can’t change the weather and can only hope for miracles when it comes to overturning bad forecasts.
What all skiers hope for is to arrive at a resort that has just experienced a fair few days of consistent, semi-heavy snow which has since departed to make way for the bright light of pure sunshine in which to hit the slopes and, of course, après in nothing but thermal tops.
When the weather is miraculously sunny with fresh powder, many skiers will trade their hardcore goggles for a stylish and practical pair of sunglasses. They might even enjoy a downhill ski with an unzipped jacket billowing in the cool breeze.
What should I look for in a pair of sunglasses for skiing?
