Snowboard Goggles
Goggles will protect your eyes from the sun and also protect them from the reflection and glare of the snow. Unlike glasses they will also prevent wind and snow from getting to your face from around the sides. But what should you consider when buying snowboard goggles?
Our buying guide will help you decide which snowboard goggles are right for you. Covering everything from fit, to tint to flat v spherical, we will help you choose the right goggles. Quality goggles that will last are not cheap so check out our guide to ensure you spend your money wisely.

Make sure they fit
Goggles that fit well should feel comfortable and snug without creating any pressure points. If you do wear a helmet then make sure you try the goggles on with the helmet. You can now also buy goggles that are designed to sit over your prescription glasses.
Single v dual lenses
Singles lenses are certainly less expensive but as the title suggest they only provide a single barrier between your eyes and the outdoors. Dual lenses have two panes of plastic with an air gap inbetween. This helps reduce fog in the lenses. So if you can afford them opt for the dual lenses.
Flat v spherical lenses
Flat lenses essentially curve from side to side but are not curved from top to bottom. This can mean that your peripheral vision is somewhat distorted. Spherical lenses are curved in all directions so your field of vision is enhanced.
Choosing the right lens tint
Do check the VLT rating which tells you the percentage of light that is allowed to pass through the lens, the higher the VLT rating the more light is allowed to pass through the lens. Amber or brown looking tints are best suited for partial sun, gold or orange are good for medium light conditions, red tint are good for bright conditions.
Additional features
Other features to look out for include polarized lenses which provide better glare protection and UV protection. Also quick change lens goggles allow you to change the lenses based on the different light conditions.
