Ski goggles provide alpine skiers with essential protection from the elements. They help protect skiers from the sun, from inclement weather, and from potential eye injuries.

Skiers need to consider a number of goggle features before making a purchase including lens color, UV protection, anti-fogging, and fit.

Ski Goggle Features

Lens Color
Goggles come in a variety of lens colors; each color lens protects against different types of weather.

Orange lenses are the best for all types of weather.

UV Protection
Be sure your goggles provide 100% protection from harmful UV rays. Lens shape: Lens shapes can be flat or curved. While curved lenses offer better visibility, they are more expensive.

Anti-Fogging
Fogging in your lenses can decrease visibility when skiing. Some goggles offer anti-fogging abilities. However, having goggles that fit properly is another way to prevent fogging.

Fit
Bring your ski helmet to the store when purchasing a pair of goggles. This way you can ensure that the goggles fit securely over your face when wearing the helmet.
