Sunglasses (again) - polarised or not?

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:44:49 GMT

Hi,
Not sure if I should have started a new thread or not, but this is quite a specific question.
I a getting conflicting advise on whether polarised or normal lenses are better for skiing?
Any advice?

Hmmm .....
No idea, never tried polarising for skiing.
Be interesting to see what people say.

The only thing that drivs me nuts about polarised lenses, which I have in my prescrption sunglasses, is that you can't see the LCD screens that are on cameras, videos, and some information screens etc. without twisting your head around 45 degrees.
Otherwise I like them.
My goggles, which I use most of the time and are not polarised, are great too and work well in poor light conditions.

I use Zeal goggles with polarized lenses. I find that you don't need so dark a lens as you might otherwise, which helps when the light is not so good.

My goggles and sunnies are not polarised and I have no problems.
I do have a pair of Foster Grant polarised sunnies and they drive me mad.
