Best Ski Gear Stuff

Ski goggles protect your eyes and face from the sun, wind and snow. Try some of the best stuff from makers like Dragon goggles, Von Zipper, Spy Optics, Anon, Carrera, Oakley, and Velvet goggles.

Most snow goggle manufacturers give you options for color and material in their lenses. Buy several different lenses to get the right color for the conditions on the day you wear them. Yellow and amber lenses work best in low light or fog to help you pick out the shadows on the slope so you can see the moguls better. Darker tints (like green) work better in bright light. Look for lenses that are polarized to reflect out snow glare. Many lenses are specially coated also to help block glare.

Ski goggle lenses that have a double thermal design are better at preventing fog from building up inside the goggle.

Ultraviolet Light

The harmful elements of sun light are called UVA and UVB rays. They are magnified off the snow when you Ski and over time can damage your eyes and vision. Your new snow goggles should block out the ultraviolet light. It's best to find goggles that can block out 100% of the UV light. The ability of a lens to block ultraviolet light is not related to how dark the lenses are.

Children are especially susceptible to UV light. So it is important that they wear protective eyewear when snow Skiing or even when they are walking around the Ski resort.

There are prescription lenses but of course they are considerably more expensive. One solution is to wear contact lenses that are not as susceptible to the build-up of fog and moisture
