What Color of Goggle Lens Should I Have?

In general, darker colored lenses allow less light through, making them ideal for blocking out the sun. Lighter colored lenses permit more light to pass through, which is beneficial on darker, cloudier days. Besides color, each lens has a VLT rating in % (Visual Light Transmission). The lower the VLT-%, the less light enters, which is best for sunny days. Conversely, a higher VLT-% allows more light in, making it optimal for cloudy and snowy days.

Some goggles feature changeable lenses, allowing you to swap lenses to suit the weather conditions better. Ski or snowboard goggles in our product range may include a free second lens.

Should Kids Wear Ski Goggles?

Absolutely, kids should wear ski goggles as they provide protection against various weather conditions while skiing and enhance their visibility. The lenses on junior ski goggles not only block harmful UV light from the sun but also act as a shield against wind and snow. Additionally, they help keep your child's face warm.

There are numerous features of kids’ snow goggles to consider when choosing a model. Notable features include anti-fog technology, OTG (Over The Glasses) for children who wear eyeglasses, and interchangeable lenses. Having an extra lens that can be swapped out allows for a lens suitable for bright, sunny days and another for darker, snowy days. The best kids’ ski goggles will incorporate a combination of these features, if not all of them.

Dressing your children appropriately is also essential for a good skiing experience. To keep them warm, they should wear thermal clothing as base layers. To see our collection, check out Ski Base Layers.
