We do not recommend you wear your glasses to ski. In fact, we also advise not to wear any loose jewellery and watches. Because when you fall, it’s a split second thing. The impact can be quite strong and there’s no time to react. But if you really have to wear your glasses, make sure you have a good strap for it.
