Best 100% UV Blocking glasses for LR

[ForTheRepublic]

So, being a Canadian from the far north of British Columbia, we have to deal with a large portion of the year with snow on the ground. During extended range glassing and shooting you find yourself going snow-blind (sun burnt eyes) without UV blocking glasses. The issue with this is that a lot of the glasses that are UV blocking, also have distortions. I am looking to see what the guys that spend there time shooting in the snow and the sand use to protect their eyes during extended range trips.

Thanks in advance.

I use Costa Del Mars. They are famous for fishing on the ocean but a ton of fishing guides use them here in WY. I don't know about any distortion but they are the best I've found in snow and on the water.

Glacier glasses were always the best for cutting light infiltration in sunny snowy conditions. Not sure on distortion though.

As stupid as they may look I've found Oakley's to work great.

I wear half-jackets for fishing and driving all day long. Polarized lenses cut down on glare and are distortion free. They're not z87 rated though.

I can't look through any cheap glasses without getting a migraine within an hour. Distorted depth perception and odd distortion.

I picked up a pair of Oakley's prism lens glasses for shooting sporting clays and ended up buying the clear, smoke, and yellow lenses to change for conditions. The pink prisms are awesome for spotting orange birds. The frame free design is genius, and z87 rated.

They're not cheap, but not expensive. Midway has them on sale time to time. I bought closeout ones for $90 vs the $220 MSRP.

Thank you very much, it would seem that Oaks are the way to go, and i know of a company in Washington that produces photo-chromatic lenses for them, I might given that a shot!

Thanks for your help.
