Apparently I will NOT win any fashion awards, but both of the eye protection options presented here are field tested by me. Thankfully at my advanced stage in life I am not trying to be an Instagram or TikTok Influencer!

Use a golf visor in tandem with your stocking cap on cold winter days. This combination works on sunny days to provide shade, and on ugly days to keep eyeglasses dry from sleet or snow. I use the Nike Swoosh Golf Visor. Putting a visor OVER a stocking cap is much warmer than wearing a hat under a stocking cap. I have worn this combination both yesterday and today as I visited the Long-Eared Owl perch. Yesterday because it was cold and sunny, and today because of wet snow (kept the eyeglasses dry).

Now we move on to my Darth Vader winter look! I wear somewhat expensive Giro goggles which fit over my eyeglasses. These goggles protect my eyes from fierce wind while doubling as sunglasses. I provide the Amazon link to the goggles I own. You may not need as expensive of goggles, however additional features which are important for me are … anti fogging and nicely fit over eyeglasses.

In closing I may get the “looks like a dork” award, but I am comfortable while dealing with any weather conditions winter might throw at me.
