Alternatives

• Glacier glasses— For snow and altitude; side shields block reflected UV.

Maintenance notes

• Keep a case in the kit; scratched lenses defeat the purpose.

Buying considerations

• Polarization is the feature that matters for anglers and snow.
• A retainer strap saves them over the side of a boat.
