I recommend this product

Great for hiking

I wanted a pair of Glacier glasses for hiking with side screens but with polarising lenses. The choice was therefore either the Desert or the Ocean version. I chose Ocean and am pleased that i did because the blue tint to the lenses makes the colour green really stand out. Landscapes look amazing. As a hiker the reality is that you spend relatively little time on snow fields and glaciers and lots of time amidst greenery.
