Skiing Goggles
Skiing goggles or skiing glasses can also be important part of your ski gear to ‘get right’. Simple sun glasses (even if a designer brand that looks cool!) are just not adequate or safe enough for the slopes.
Here are some top tips for choosing the best skiing goggles:
Skiing goggles with orange color filters provide better vision in fog. You’ll need glasses as an addition to skiing suit if you know you’ll be facing a variety of testing weather conditions.
Glasses are less important for those who are only skiing on flat slopes - assuming weather is fine and not too bright.
But if it is snowing, it is impossible to ski without skiing goggles because of snowflakes and wind. Even gentle snowflakes can feel like blinding grit when whipped into your eyes and you will need your vision to be kept as clear as possible when skiing in all conditions.
Skiing goggles will also protect your eyes from sun glare in bright consitions. The sun’s glare is amplified by the white snow so it is even more critical to stop your eyes being both burned and oever stressed. After an hours exposure to sun glare off snow you can suffer a similar problem to that of arc-welders - ‘arc-eye’ - or what is more commonly known as snow blindness. You’ll gett saering headache and your eyes will smart and burn. So skiing goggles rae a must in almost all conditions.
One preferred variation of the ski goggle is the reflex skiing goggles.
Alkso, If you usually wear glasses for distance or use bi-focals, there are special skiing goggles that you can wear over your glasses, that are worth getting hold of.
