Sun Glasses

These need to be as dark as possible to deal with the intense sunlight high on the glaciers, as well as slightly "wrap around" style (see picture) to prevent light entering the corners of the eyes. If in doubt, ask an optician if yours would be suitable for skiing - if they are, that's fine.

Full "Captain Scott" style glacier glasses with leather side pieces and nose guard, especially when combined with white zinc oxide sun creme, are also effective but inadvisable from a style point of view.
