Polarized ski goggles: is it worth it?
You often hear the term “polarizing” or “polar glasses” in connection with ski and sunglasses. The so-called polarization filter filters not only the directly incident light but also the reflected light from the environment. In our blog we explain why the technology is practical for many sports but rather unsuitable for skiing.
