Ski goggles: 10 stylish designs worth seeing
All-important accessories for winter sports enthusiasts, ski goggles are far from being gadgets just to show off on the slopes. Packed with technology, they have to ensure excellent visibility and the optimal protection of our eyes in all weather. Here we explore the most efficient and most stylish designs around.
The elements are rarely our best friends – and at high altitudes, the weather can change quickly. Cold, snow, rain, wind, fog, or blinding sunshine… we want to conquer them all if we can. So, get booted up and ready to take in some of the best ski goggles you can buy.
Tips for finding the right ski goggles
The best ski goggles need to combine protection, vision and comfort with style. Choose a category ranging from 0 to 4, depending on the sunlight. Options include tinted lenses, a polarizing treatment, a photochromic system and interchangeable lenses. To avoid snow blindness, the screen on your goggles needs to protect your eyes from UV rays (even on cloudy days), while still allowing enough light to pass through to help you steer clear of any patches of ice.
You want comfort, combining safety and an optimal view, without fogging – but with optimized colors and contrasts. As for shape, it’s not just about looks. Your field of vision will depend on the curvature of the screen and its size. And as when shopping for clothes, it pays to try things on.
