What are good sunglasses for mountaineering?
The best mountaineering sunglasses offer full UV protection, wraparound coverage, and lenses that reduce glare and enhance contrast. They should also be durable and fit securely. Smith's backcountry and mountaineer sunglasses have features like removable side shields and ChromaPop™ lenses for optimal clarity and are designed for high-altitude conditions, making them ideal for mountaineering.
Do I need polarized sunglasses for mountaineering?
No. Polarized lenses reduce glare, but this also makes it easier to overlook the reflection on an icy patch in your path. Smith ChromaPop™ lens technology enhances clarity, optimizes color, and reduces glares by filtering crossover light wavelengths that cause color confusion. For users who prefer polarized lenses, our Embark sunglasses are available with ChromaPop™ Polarized lenses.
