Skiers and snowboarders know that occasionally you can get lucky with a wonderful combination of weather conditions that let you put aside your goggles and jacket. On sunny days, it is easy to forget your eyes are in for some of the most punishing conditions they will experience all year. When looking for the best eye wear for sunny days, consider the following ski glasses.

Oakley Radar Pitch

No list of top performance sports sunglasses is complete without a pair made by Oakley. Oakley Radar Pitch glasses reveal Oakley's experience in meeting the eye wear needs of athletes. Fully interchangeable lenses that repel both skin oil and moisture, allow you to choose the lense that is right for the weather conditions. Consumers also give them the highest marks.

Zeal Zooni

Zeal Zooni glasses represent one of the best choices for women in designer athletic eye wear. Features that make the Zeals a top choice of REI shoppers include polarized lenses that stop 99 percent of glare off blinding snow. Durable yet lightweight materials also make the frame and lenses ideal for tough use. Silicone inserts on the nose and earpieces assure that even if you break a sweat, Zeals will stay in place.

Smith Haven

Also very popular with shoppers offering their opinions to REI are Smith Haven sunglasses. These brown-tinted, shatter-resistant lenses come in a variety of types that bring depth and definition to otherwise hard-to-differentiate contours of sunny slopes. Smith Havens' wide variety of flexible frames also fit many face shapes.

Julbo Explorers

If you plan to be skiing at a high altitude, you need a pair of glasses you can depend on at all times. Julbo Explorers, which feature anti-fog lenses, are just the ticket. According to reviews on the Buzzillions website, these glasses stayed clear in heat, cold and fluctuating light. With flexible frames that provide a snug fit, Julbo Explorers are the leading choice for the extreme skier
