The best time to go skiing has got to be between December and April, so it's the perfect time to introduce to you our favourite pairs of ski sunglasses. Whether you are heading to sought-after ski destination such as France, Austria, or Switzerland, or even somewhere smaller-scale and local, Ski sunglasses are a must-have accessory. Not only do they keep you stylish on the slopes, but they also serve a great level of protection. The pace that you head down the slopes can be dangerous enough without snow, hail, or other particles getting into your eyes. Not only can impaired vision while skiing be extremely frustrating, but it can also be dangerous for yourself and others around you. Let's jump into some of our favourites brands and their ski sunglasses...

SMITH SKI SUNGLASSES

Dr. Bob Smith is considered a revolutionary icon within the ski industry. Back in 1965, Smith, an orthodontist and ski enthusiast was pretty much over foggy ski goggles. In 1965, he produced the first sealed double lenses ski goggles. Smith continued to propel within his business until he died in 2012. From his goggles creation stemmed both a sunglasses and helmet range. The brand's primary and original focus was snow sports, such as skiing and snowboarding. However, now they provide accessories for fishing, mountain biking, running, cycling, and surfing. True sports advocates who you can certainly trust. Here are three of our favourites...

NIKE - THE GLOBAL SPORTSWEAR GIANT 

Looking for reliability and a reasonable price point? We recommend none other than the American giant, Nike. Nike's successes are not up for debate. They are currently the biggest sports brand in the world and have an estimated market cap of roughly $200 billion! With sponsored athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, and Rafael Nadal they continue to dominate the sporting industry. Nike claims that their sunglasses are the best sunglasses on the market for running in particular. However, these glasses have many qualities that customers should look for in skiing glasses. This includes an appropriate and adjustable fit, tinted lenses, and anti-fog features. All of these features are necessary on the slopes. Check out our faves...

MONCLER - FOR SKI SUNGLASSES THAT ARE SUPER STYLISH

Quite often, when people think ski apparel, they think Moncler. Stylish down jackets, windbreakers, knitwear, and accessories are at the heart of the brand. Moncler has focused on extreme weather conditions clothing garments since their origination back in 1952. Starting in a village near Grenoble, France, their quilted jackets were created for those working in the cold. Therefore, it was only natural for Moncler to tailor their eyewear range to accommodate those in colder weather conditions too. That means that they are the perfect pair of ski sunglasses. Infused with not only extensive history but extreme style too!

JULBO - MASTERS OF SPORTS EYEWEAR 

Julbo is a multi-sport eyewear company founded back in 1888. The brand was formed by Jules Baud (we can see where the name comes from!) with both optical lenses and innovation in mind. In 1950, Jublo produced the first pair of glacier sunglasses. They were targeted at mountaineers who required an adequate amount of eye protection. The great outdoors is at the core of the company, and with over 125 years behind them, they certainly know what they are doing in the protective eyewear department!
