SquidWard Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Im looking for a good pair of glacier glasses . What are some advantages and disadvantages with polarized lenses and glass verses poly carbonate lenses?

To_The_Top Posted September 9, 2001 Share Posted September 9, 2001 Polarized glass glacier glasses cut down on the UV and glare off snow better than poly non polarized glasses. I have noticed a big differance having gone through several sets. I only go on snow with polarized glasses after I got headaches and vision problems after snow climbs. Both poly and glass offer polarized options, but I think that glass cuts down UV a little better than poly. Ranking them goes like this (for me): Polarized glass (w/sideshields or wrap arounds), poly polarized, glass (NP) and poly (NP)last. For the money REI has glacier glasses with shields (polarized) for around $40~on up. I wont go non polarized any more. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
