When you're out on the slopes, you want to make sure you've set yourself up to have the best experience possible. Your gear and accessories have a significant influence on whether you'll have a good day out or not. Pick up some goggles to make sure you have the best vision on the mountain.
Using snow goggles will help you have a better time while you're out skiing or snowboarding by offering you a great deal of protection. At Buckman's Ski and Snowboard Shops, we can help match you with the right goggles. Every skier and snowboarder is a little different, and different types of goggles are more appropriate for specific conditions.
When you browse our extensive selection ski and snowboard goggles below, you're sure to find a great pair for your lifestyle and needs. We offer a large selection of men's, women's and youth snowboard and ski goggles to choose from.
How to Pick the Right Type of Snow Goggles
There are a few critical variables to consider when picking out the right pair of snow goggles, including:
- Lens: There are two main types of lenses used in ski goggles — cylindrical and spherical. Cylindrical lenses curve horizontally but stay flat going vertically, while spherical lenses arc horizontally and vertically. Cylindrical lenses are less expensive than spherical ones, but the latter will give you more advantages, like less glare and increased peripheral vision.
- Tint: The tint, or the color, of your lenses can help you see better at certain times of the day or under different weather conditions. Wearing the right goggles in the right circumstances will give you the best vision while you're out.
- Size: Like other ski and snowboard equipment, goggles are not one-size-fits-all. You can find goggles in small, medium and large or oversized sizes. Small goggles are usually suited for youth ski goggles or adults with smaller heads. Medium and large sizes are typically intended for women's and men's ski and snowboard goggles.
Benefits of Wearing Snow Goggles
Your goggles give you protection which, in turn, lets you be a safer skier or snowboarder. Ski and snowboard goggles protect you from the wind, cold temperatures and the sun. Plus, they'll let you see much better than if you weren't wearing any eye protection.
When you don't wear goggles, your vision will be impaired. The glare from the sun reflecting off the snow may cause you to injure yourself or others around you. Or, if snow kicks back and hits you in the face, you could quickly lose control. Your eyes tearing up from the wind when you start moving fast will impact your field of vision and cause a distraction.
You can easily avoid all these potential dangers by wearing ski goggles every time you're out on a mountain.
