Skiing is certainly a thrilling outdoor sport and ski holidays are a perfect break for the family. While packing for a Ski adventure, never forget to include a pair of ski goggles. These are absolutely essential in cold and windy climates and you can never make do with an ordinary pair of shades.
First of all, you need to ensure that the lens of your goggles is wiped clean and kept clear to permit maximum visibility as you soar through the snow capped mountain paths. Of course you can’t just walk into a ski goods shop and pick a pair at random. There are some essential features you should be looking at.
When you’re at a store and looking at a particular pair, don’t buy it simply assessing under artificial light, Try and take it outside to see how the lenses look like in natural daylight. Of course if you want night lenses you have to test them in a dark room maybe with just a single light bulb on. They should be glare as well as distortion free.
Bright days require dark tints for more visibility while in low lights-yellow, gold and rose tints work better. Polarized lenses are suitable for bright days but towards the end of the day when the light’s low and deep shadows are cast upon snow, the dark tints on these lenses make them unsuitable for a clear view.
Go for those ski goggles that are capable of blocking powerful UVA an UVB rays that can lead to permanent eye damage. The latest in trend is the lower profile goggles that fit comfortably with your helmet but make sure they provide good peripheral vision. Look into the comfort factor as well and go for wider straps and rubbery buckles that won’t dig into your head and cause discomfort.
