while working the Sundance Film Festival, and I have to say I've finally found a pair of sport glasses that I can wear snowboarding! I have to admit I was skeptical. Snowboarding is a very active sport and you spend a lot of the time looking across the slope, with the air blowing directly at the side of your face. In these conditions, I've found sunglasses are best avoided if at all possible.
That is until I rode in a pair of Sziols Skiing lenses. First off, it was pretty warm that day (55 degrees in Utah in January ain't too shabby), and my glasses didn't fog even though I hadn't applied any anti-fog product. The flat light lens worked great in pretty much all conditions; you spend a lot of time going in and out of shade at Park City. Oh, and they were excellent in actual flat light as well! The frames stayed in place and never hit that awful pressure point behind my ears. And when I switched to my Active Orange lens when I got back to town, I really noticed how warm the Skiing lens was keeping my face.
But what struck me most was the wind didn't get in from the side! I couldn't believe it! This issue has prevented me from riding in sunglasses in all but the warmest weather (and even then they were just the lesser evil).
Finally, a pair of shades I can ride in
