Hi All,

I'm going sking for the first time and would like some advice on sun
specs.
What types should I be looking at and what sort of price could I
exspect to pay. I'm in the UK

Personally as I only have one set of eyes I believe you should get a
good pair of sunglasses that offer maximum UV protection, as well as
googles for snowy days. I'd got to a proper ski shop and try some on, or
if you are driving to the ski resort maybe stop off on the way and get
some, ie from DECathlon in France.

I got greatly reduced Oakleys from these guys:

I use Oakley fives for skiing, but also use them throught the summer for
kiting, beach etc.

If your going in March sales will probably start in the next week or so.

Some people wear googles in the sun, I personally feel you get too
hot,and get silly panda rings! I use googles that enhance poor light
which I use when snowing/Very overcast.

Regards,

Greg
