Make sure you have a high-quality pair of sports sunglasses ready for action. You will ideally want a large frame that protects you fully from the sun and shields your eyes from the wind and any debris like rocks and twigs which could fly up into your face when you are navigating the slopes. The cold weather can also negatively impact your sight. The extreme cold temperatures restrict blood flow to your eyes and can lead to chronic pain, double vision, blurry vision and even blindness in the most extreme circumstances. Sunglasses will shield your eyes and keep you protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/buying-guides\/lens-options\/polarised-lenses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Polarised lenses<\/span><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;are ideal as they are designed to minimise&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/buying-guides\/lens-options\/anti-glare-glasses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">blinding glare<\/span><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;from reflective surfaces. On the brightest days, snow can reflect a lot of glare which obstructs your vision and causes eye strain. Polarised sunglasses provide full UV protection and enhance contrast for improved visual clarity. This is especially ideal when you&#8217;re trying to distinguish subtle bumps and slopes in the terrain. If you love snowboarding, skiing, or you live in an area that frequently has snowy spells, polarised shades will help keep you protected so that you can stay focused without any distraction. Grey tints in particular will reduce the amount of light that gets to your eyes and enable you to perceive colours in their natural form so that you can navigate the slopes more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/holbrook-polished-black-clear-fade-l-15296?aspect=sun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-holbrook-56-glasses-polished-black-clear-fade-sun.jpg\" alt=\"A square pair of plastic sunglasses that are black at the top and fade to transparent at the bottom\" class=\"wp-image-13503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-holbrook-56-glasses-polished-black-clear-fade-sun.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-holbrook-56-glasses-polished-black-clear-fade-sun-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-holbrook-56-glasses-polished-black-clear-fade-sun-768x293.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/holbrook-polished-black-clear-fade-l-15296?aspect=sun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Oakley <\/strong>Holbrook-56<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/holbrook-polished-black-clear-fade-l-15296\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"736\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-holbrook-56-glasses-polished-black-clear-fade-modelled-by-male-primary.jpg\" alt=\"A young black man with a short afro wearing Oakley Holbrook glasses in polished black clear fade\" class=\"wp-image-13502 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-holbrook-56-glasses-polished-black-clear-fade-modelled-by-male-primary.jpg 672w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-holbrook-56-glasses-polished-black-clear-fade-modelled-by-male-primary-274x300.jpg 274w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1024x1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4188\" style=\"width:790px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1024x1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-300x1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-768x1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1536x2.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-2048x3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/volleyball.jpg\" alt=\"Two people jumping on opposite sides of a volleyball net in an effort to hit the ball\" class=\"wp-image-13489\" style=\"width:790px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/volleyball.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/volleyball-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/volleyball-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ball sports<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you like to kick off the day with a game of football?

Ideally, you\u2019ll want a pair of sunglasses with long, flat temples and good grip, especially if you wear a helmet because this will prevent any discomfort or the frames falling off during intense exercise. Standard grey-tinted sunglasses are great at safeguarding your vision. Polarised lenses are your best bet if you want to avoid distracting glare from the sun, especially when cycling on wet roads or when passing lakes. If you tend to run or cycle in woodland and shadowy areas, then green sunglasses lenses are best for navigating these kind of shady environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/plank-2-0-satin-black-s-11827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"736\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-plank-20-51-glasses-satin-black-modelled-by-male-secondary.jpg\" alt=\"A young man with a save head wearing Oakley Plank glasses\" class=\"wp-image-13508 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-plank-20-51-glasses-satin-black-modelled-by-male-secondary.jpg 672w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-plank-20-51-glasses-satin-black-modelled-by-male-secondary-274x300.jpg 274w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/plank-2-0-satin-black-s-11827?aspect=sun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/oakley-plank-20-51-glasses-satin-black-sun-min.jpg\" alt=\"Rectangular black plastic sunglasses\" class=\"wp-image-6255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/oakley-plank-20-51-glasses-satin-black-sun-min.jpg 744w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/oakley-plank-20-51-glasses-satin-black-sun-min-300x91.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/plank-2-0-satin-black-s-11827?aspect=sun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Oakley <\/strong>Plank 2.0-51<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1024x1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4188\" style=\"width:790px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1024x1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-300x1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-768x1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-1536x2.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Divider-2048x3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/handball.jpg\" alt=\"A blonde woman in a green jersey about to throw the ball in handball\" class=\"wp-image-13491\" style=\"width:790px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/handball.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/handball-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/handball-768x413.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Indoor sports<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you a gym bunny?

Polarised sunglasses will reduce glare reflected off the top of the water so that your eyes don\u2019t get tired from squinting. Grey lenses are ideal on open water as they allow you to accurately perceive colours in the surrounding environment and keep you fully protected from the sun. For fishing, try brown tints which increase contrast and enhance depth perception. This means you will be able to cast your line and keep track of the fish under the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/trillbe-x-polished-clear-xs-15154\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"736\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-trillbe-x-glasses-polished-clear-modelled-by-female-secondary.jpg\" alt=\"A woman with long, straight hair wearing Oakley Trillbe glasses\" class=\"wp-image-13512 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-trillbe-x-glasses-polished-clear-modelled-by-female-secondary.jpg 672w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-trillbe-x-glasses-polished-clear-modelled-by-female-secondary-274x300.jpg 274w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/trillbe-x-polished-clear-xs-15154?aspect=sun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-trillbe-x-glasses-polished-clear-sun.jpg\" alt=\"A pair of sunglasses with a transparent frame, sporting slightly rounded square lenses\" class=\"wp-image-13513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-trillbe-x-glasses-polished-clear-sun.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-trillbe-x-glasses-polished-clear-sun-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/oakley-trillbe-x-glasses-polished-clear-sun-768x292.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/glasses\/frames\/trillbe-x-polished-clear-xs-15154?aspect=sun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Oakley <\/strong>Trillbe<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you an active person?
