If you’re going on holiday, and you thought that one pair of sunnies was going to cut it, you’re wrong.

This is especially true if you plan on doing something active, like watersports or skiing.

It turns out that not all sunglasses are created equal, and some even have the power to decrease your risk of injury when you’re out and about.

According to Business Insider, “if you’re out on the water or frolicking in the snow, it’s imperative to wear polarised lenses”.

Seth spoke to you guys about polarised lenses a little while ago, remember?

What sets them apart is that there’s an extra filter within the polarised lens that blocks out the scattered, glary light that bounces off reflective surfaces.

This becomes particularly important when you’re spending time on water or snow – two surfaces that reflect light, increasing its intensity and making it more damaging for your eyes.

Polarised lenses also take the glare off of a surface so that you can spot icy patches in snow or ripples in waves, potentially avoiding unnecessary injury or accident.

So while you’re getting your gear together for whatever adventure you have planned over the next while, make sure that you don’t neglect your sunnies.

Sunglass Hut has a wide and stylish range of polarised sunglasses, by some of the world’s top designers, for you to choose from. Here’s a small sample of what they have on offer for men:

A quality pair of sunnies is, in many ways, the best investment you can make this summer.
