Winter Sunvisors: Do You Need Them in the Cold?

It's a common misconception that sunvisors are only for 100-degree days. The truth is, winter sun can be just as damaging, and sometimes even more intense.

UV Rays Don't Freeze

Even when it's freezing outside, the sun still emits UV rays that fade your upholstery and degrade your dashboard plastics. UV radiation is not temperature-dependent.

Snow Glare

Snow is highly reflective, bouncing up to 80% of UV rays back up. This magnifies the sun's intensity into your cabin. Using a sunvisor when parked at the ski lodge or in a snowy driveway is absolutely essential to prevent interior fading.

Frost Prevention

Using a sunvisor on the inside can subtly help regulate the internal glass temperature, slightly reducing the amount of hard frost that builds up on the inside of the windshield overnight in certain conditions.
