3 – Vented lenses and vented frames are also designed to eliminate fogging. They allow a limited amount of air to flow through the lens and into the goggles, helping to stop eyes from drying out therefore maintaining visual clarity.
4 – Snow goggles should have a strong frame that is also flexible. They should be able to withstand the odd bump or so, whilst still providing adequate protection.
5 – Most designs have a foam layer around the frame that fits the contours of the wearers face.
6 – Some designs have gone a step or two further and added a layer of soft material to make the foam even more comfortable. A polar fleece material that covers the foam layer can also be found. Ski goggles should always be a comfortable fit for the wearer.
7 – Some manufacturers produce lenses that are chemically treated to make them shatterproof, protecting your eyes further if you were to fall.
8 – Scratch proof lenses are also designed by some manufacturers, keeping them in good condition and making them last longer.
