Final thoughts

Choosing a pair of goggles isn’t always easy especially if you wear glasses. But knowing your size and understanding your needs will go a long way in helping you to pick the best pair for you. Luckily there is a wide range available and most companies understand their customers want and expect, a quality product that is durable and suits their style.

The goggles mentioned in this review are all excellent goggles and all offer a great range of features. Consider what features you need and will offer you the best experience on the slopes and look at the goggles that you feel most suit these needs.

Although the price is usually a factor in any purchase consider how often you ski or board and the benefits of a particular pair of goggles over others. For the most part, you get what you pay for and that’s no different here. Purchase the best goggles you can, look after them well, and they should last you for many seasons.

Look out for goggles which offer a warranty too as this shows you the company is confident in their product and are making a commitment to you the customer.

Tips to keep your goggles from fogging

One of the most annoying things about wearing goggles can be fogging. We’ve all had it and it can ruin a great run. Here are a few tips to help prevent fogging:

• Let your goggles dry out completely at the end of the day.
• Take the lenses out overnight to help ensure they’re dry.
• Keep your goggles on during wet days, don’t put them on your wet helmet.
• Don’t rub the inside of the lens, this can impair the anti-fog capabilities.
