Finding Anarchy Goggles That Block Sufficient UV Radiation

Here's how to find the Anarchy Goggles with the best UV protection.

1. Check for the OSHA label with 99 or 100 percent UV protection.
2. Look for goggles that are close-fitting. These will prevent UV rays from filtering in.
3. Look for larger lenses or wrap-around goggles to prevent light from entering in.
4. Don't be misguided by price -- higher priced goggles usually reflect fashion or durability, not UV protection.
5. Dark-colored goggles don't necessarily provide better protection. A clear chemical coating applied to the lens is responsible for UV protection, not the lens color.

Thanks for the hints on buying good sunglasses. It did help me. I was a little surprised to find out that the more expensive goggles aren't always better. I hope a lot of other people sign in and comment on how helpful these hints are.
