Bollé Extreme Windshear Eyewear ($90-$120):
Those fleshy orbs are gonna need protection, not just from retina-searing snow light but from icy winter winds that can make you as teary eyed as an onion peeler. You won't find better optical armament than the Windshear, a wrap-style, wind-cheating piece of impact-resistant eyewear. This stylish looker features several curvy eight-base, wrap-style polycarbonate lens choices, including Bollé's Mogul Vermilion lens for enhanced contrast of white light, a polarized lens option, and the B-Tru Rx program which can integrate the wearer's prescription with Bollé lens tints and frames. All are top-notch optical creations made to American National Standards Institute requirements for UV protection, impact resistance, and optical clarity. The winter sports pedigree is similarly evident in the frame, made of durable nylon with wrapping side shields that protect your eyes from peripheral light, and sticky soft Thermogrip nose pads and temple tips to assure the eyewear stays sung on your face.
