Review: Sunski Ferrata Sunglasses

I want full protection in high-glare environments without the usual downsides: overheating, fogging, or that boxed-in feeling you get from the more, er, aggressive designs. At the same time, I don’t want something that becomes redundant the second I step away from snow, rock, or water.

A week in the High Atlas in April is a good way to expose any weak eyewear.

Conditions swing more than you expect – cold, sharp mornings, high, hard light through the middle of the day, then softer, dustier haze by late afternoon. 

Add in long days on foot, variable altitude, and a mix of open exposure and tighter valley sections, and these glasses got a solid run-out.

If you use both sides of what the Ferrata offers—high-glare performance and everyday wear—it starts to justify itself as a replacement for multiple pairs. If you don’t, it quickly looks expensive for what you actually need.

An alternative brand on the block to the general sunglass brand ‘canon’ which offers versatility and technical capability, not just basic sun protection. This product just about convinces for now but does have room for improvement, especially given the price point.
