Ski goggles are an essential piece of equipment for any skier. Not only do they keep the snow out of your eyes while you’re flying down the mountain, but they also protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.
Why Quality Ski Goggles Matter
Protective Features of High-Quality Ski Goggles
High-quality ski goggles go above and beyond when it comes to protecting your eyes. They are designed to keep the elements out of your eyes, so you can stay out on the mountain for longer.
Here are a few ways that the best ski goggles protect your eyes:
Sealed Lens
Ski goggles have a double lens design that creates a thermal barrier, which reduces the risk of the lens fogging up.
Ventilation
Some ski goggle models also feature ventilation systems that help to regulate the temperature inside the goggles. This ventilation reduces the likelihood of the lens fogging up.
Anti-Fog Coating
Many high-quality ski goggles also have an anti-fog coating. This coating absorbs moisture and spreads it across the lens, reducing the likelihood of fogging.
Full Coverage
Ski goggles are designed to create a seal with your skin, which is why they are typically worn with the strap over your helmet. This full coverage design keeps the wind and snow out of your eyes.
UV Protection
The sun’s rays are even more harmful at higher elevations. That’s why it’s essential that your ski goggles are equipped with a UV protective lens. The best ski goggle lenses offer 100% UV protection, keeping your eyes safe from the sun’s harmful rays.
Photochromic Lenses
Photochromic lenses are lenses that adapt to the light conditions. They are the most advanced lens option for ski goggles. Photochromic lenses are designed to darken when they are exposed to UV light, and lighten when the UV light is removed. This makes them the perfect lens for skiing in variable light conditions. By adapting to the light conditions, photochromic lenses allow you to see more clearly in a variety of conditions.
Both Smith and Giro offer a selection of ski goggles with photochromic lenses.
Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses are designed to reduce glare. They are a great option for skiers who ski in bright, sunny conditions. Polarized lenses reduce the amount of horizontal light that is able to enter the lens, which in turn reduces glare and allows you to see more clearly.
However, it’s important to note that polarized lenses are not the best option for skiers who ski in flat light conditions. The same glare reducing properties that make polarized lenses great for skiing in bright, sunny conditions, can make it more difficult to see in flat light conditions.
Both POC and Scott offer a selection of polarized ski goggles.
