Snow goggles?

Looking for a specific design. Not sure if they even make them any more or what they are called-the ones I've seen look like the standard military dust.snow goggles but had a metal cover with slits ct in it-looked like an 'X' over a '+'. to block more light and prevent snowblindness.

Here's a photoshop facsimile of what I'm talking about-

Expedient DIY snow or sand 'goggles' can be fashioned from a rectangular cut section of that thin mylar reflective space blanket material. You can see right through it and the material can be taped to any goggles or even taped directly right onto and across the top of your face covering the eyes. Might not look pretty, but at least you'll not go blind from the sun glare. The silvery side will rub off on your skin, so have it outward. Rub your fingers together with the material between them and you'll see quick enough which side is which.

Shane-yeah, I've got a dozen ways of doing it...the reason I'm looking for this particular type is I have a form of light blindness that when the sun gets down below the visor or off to the side it's so bad I have to pull off the road-then that gives me a limited time to finish my travels if I'm caught out in the evening. Same with it in the morning.

I try not to get caught out like that but it happens so having something that blocks all the sun except for where I need it would help-glasses with side panels or anything that allows the sun to get thru just won't work so I'm wanting to try something particularly suited for this environment.

I've always used Smith ski-goggles. You can buy their Caribou model that allows the insertion of diffferent colored lens. Never had a problem, even snow-shoeing over the Divide at Loveland in the middle of sun-baked winter days. The dark red lens always worked for me.

FWIW-YMMV

Hey Sat

The Eskimo used to use wooden goggles with just a thin cut ( your horizontal line) on them- modern Northerners use the expedient of black electricians tape acoss everywhere but the fine slots on cataract goggles- try that- it's cheap and easy.
