Polarization is a must for extreme climates. This causes extreme spots of light to be spread evenly over the viewing surface, decreasing strain to your eye and illuminating your field of vision.

Wrap around shades are imperative when harsh heat winds can bring sand or glare into the eye. Snow or other flakes of ice need to be averted with wrap around shades as well. Ensure your harsh climate eyewear blocks sediment and wind from reaching your eyes.

UV protection should go without saying, but many people end up buying eyewear online that is cheap, and without guarantees of UV protection. Demand 100% UV protection from your harsh weather eyewear.

Tinting is important and dependent on climate and activity. For increased contrast in frigid areas yellow or brown tinting is helpful, but do not order tinting that is so light in color that is does not block enough of the sun’s brightness. In extreme heat, reflective sunglasses are decent if you are doing solo activities, but can cause reflections into other’s eyes or give away your position, so it is best to go with a grey or black deep tinting in harsh heat climates.

An easy and low pressure bridge for the nose is imperative in intense climate situations. Ensure that the weight is distributed evenly between your ears (via the temple bars) and your bridge. Lightweight eyewear is better for prolonged use, but not so light that your shades come loose with activity.
