Ski season is around the corner and having the right equipment makes the difference when it comes to being comfortable and able to focus on the sport. Having ski goggles is important not only for protection but also for comfort. Challenges can arise for those who wear contact lens or glasses. Being able to see properly and feel comfortable is a big part of selecting quality ski goggles.

There are a number of things to consider when preparing to purchase a pair of ski goggles. It is very important to try them on with your corrective lenses or glasses in place. If you wear contact lens, you can opt for a smaller set of ski goggles. For those who wear eyeglasses finding the right pair of OTG, or over-the-glasses, type of ski goggles is paramount.

There are a wide variety of ski goggles available including glasses that offer different styles, sizes and tints. The tint of ski goggles will vary and is designed for varying sunlight conditions. A versatile tint that works well for most levels of sunlight is the yellow to brown tint.

It is important to fit your ski goggles with your helmet to ensure comfort. It is imperative for goggles to fit comfortably over the helmet. Additionally, they should not be so tight that they pinch but should be able to fit the face securely while also being able to smoothly fit over the helmet when raised up. Ensure that the goggle strap has enough length to adjust the goggles comfortably.

For skiers who wear prescription glasses that they cannot part with, consider investing in prescription ski glasses to ensure comfort and safety. This is a great option for days when there is not a lot of wind and snow. Generally, a wrap-around pair will work in lieu of goggles provided they have at least 95 percent UVA and UVB, otherwise invest in OTG goggles for comfort and safety.
