Sailing into the wind with sunglasses sucks, you soon get a thick crust of salt over the lenses almost immediately.. There has to be a better way.

Snow goggles(ilgaak), perhaps?

Snow goggles are a type of eyewear traditionally used by the Inuit and the Yupik peoples of the Arctic to prevent snow blindness.

@neauoire Heh, remember seeing these (and getting to try them on) at the Arktikum in Rovaniemi.

@neauoire some motorcyclists wear gloves with a squeegee along the back of one finger

@ra that works if your gloves equally encrusted with salt

@neauoire Back in the day, I used to deliver boats from the Baltic to the UK in late autumn (for the London Boat Show). It often snowed and worse, sleeted. We used to use a motorcycle crash helmet when sailing to windward — in strong winds, the spray/rain/ice would blow aft to the edges of the face glass. Not perfect, but warmer and drier than goggles. Also, the helmet had headphones so we could jack in to a portable Sony cassette player.
