Sunglasses in the Snow

One of the most annoying things from my hikes early this year was going back and forth between the glare of the snow and the darkness of the woods. I kept taking off my sunglasses and putting them back on, sometimes once a minute. I decided I needed photochromic polarized sunglasses, and when REI had a sale, I snatched up a couple of Smith Backdrop models. One has amber lenses, the other has rose-colored lenses.

I went out to Alpental to figure out which ones I like better, but it’s really hard to decide. I think I like the rose-colored ones a tad bit better, but the amber ones glasses look better on me. I think I’ll keep them both and report more later.
