Whether they’ll be skiing, snowboarding, hiking or walking, sunglasses are an essential addition to their outerwear and will protect their eyes regardless of what the weather throws at them. We have a great selection designed especially for your kid’s comfort, protection and of course style! Just as important as choosing the right pair of snow boots, selecting the correct eyewear is vital regardless of their level of sporting expertise! Choosing the right sunglasses
Selecting the right pair of sunglasses is very important. You need to make sure that your children are well protected while they’re having fun participating in their favourite outdoor sports. When selecting eyewear you should always check that the glasses are well suited to the contours of your kid’s face; with all that high energy and running around they do, you don’t want them to fall off! If you are about to embark with them on a hike or trek in the mountains you will also need to bear in mind that UV rays are even more powerful. The light is reflected from the snow and therefore twice the normal amount of UV rays can enter their eyes, sometimes causing snow blindness. Ideally you should be looking for a pair that is light weight and durable that gives your kids full eye coverage. Wraparound sunglasses will not only protect from high levels of UV rays but they will also protect the delicate areas around the eyes that are prone to sunburn. Make sure that you can’t see their eyes while they’re wearing their sunglasses, this will ensure that the lenses are dark enough to give them full protection.
Key Safety Features
One of the most important aspects of choosing kid’s sunglasses is the lens. Lens colours such as brown, yellow, green, amber and orange can help enhance their performance and allowing them to see what is most important. Shatterproof lenses are also recommended as they are incredibly durable and light weight, perfect for kids on the slopes especially when they’re accident prone. A good tip is to get a sunglasses strap as you can attach your kid’s sunglasses around their neck when not in use. Other priorities include optical clarity, good contrast and of course style! It is important to note that most kid’s summer sunglasses are not suitable for outdoor sports as the levels of UV can be much higher than that of the summer.
The sunglasses you choose for your kids outdoor adventures are a key piece of safety equipment allowing them to fully enjoy their activities. It is important to purchase the right product to suit the type of activity and the anticipated weather conditions. The Mountain Warehouse range doesn’t fail to deliver! Make sure your kids are fully kitted out with gloves and mittens and hats and beanies too!
