How Do You Buy The Right Goggles For Skiing Or Snowboarding?
Goggles are an absolutely necessary piece of equipment both for skiers and snowboarders. They provide necessary protection for your eyes from wind, cold, snow, and sun. Shop before you get to the mountain. Try a specialty, well-stocked sporting goods or outdoor store. Bring your helmet or the headgear you normally wear when skiing or snowboarding. Make sure the retailer sells high quality sport equipment. Try on several pairs of goggles. Some brands may fit you better than others. Make sure the goggles fit your head comfortably with and without the helmet. Take them outside to see how well the lenses work in natural light and test whether they will provide good visibility in a dark room with low light. Adjust the strap to your head. If you wear glasses, make sure the goggles will fit over them (some brands have specially sized goggles for prescription glasses). Check out the ventilation system. Vents are often made of a foamy material. They allow enough airflow to prevent your goggles
