PRESCRIPTION SKI GOGGLES FOR SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING WITH OPTICAL INSERTS AND GLASSES

It's no longer a hindrance if you wear a spectacle prescription when choosing ski goggles. Adidas and Rudy Project both offer prescription ski goggle adapters for all their ski goggles. Meaning you don't have to put up with the ugly goggle that a manufacture rushed through at the end of production!

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A GOOD PAIR OF SKI GOGGLES

The most important aspect of any snow goggle is its lens. Optically corrected lenses give you a full peripheral view with no distortion. Dual vented lenses help to defend fogging. This is where the manufactures put two lenses into each goggle separating them with an air gap.

All the goggles we stock meet both of these requirements and are helmet compatible.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

An optical insert is fitted with your prescription and clips inside the goggle. As the insert has no contact with your face, the ski goggle keeps its shape and fit. This is an important advantage when considering whether to wear your glasses under a goggle or to go for the optical insert - if the goggle is not designed to be worn with glasses, its padding will lift away from your face resulting in poor ventilation.

We recommend this form of correction for helmet wearers and people that prefer wearing their goggles to their prescription sunglasses.

ARE THEIR ALTERNATIVE CORRECTIONS AVAILABLE?

OVER THE GLASS

Oakley Proven Over the Glass Snow Goggles

An alternative to optical inserts is to purchase 'Over the glass' ski goggles. We sell Oakley’s Proven OTG. This goggle has increased ventilation and a wide fit, enabling your glasses to comfortably sit underneath. We recommend this form of correction if you take a pair of goggles on your skiing holiday with the intention of wearing them as little as possible, preferring your prescription sunglasses.

GOGGLE HYBRIDS

There are numerous sunglass/goggle hybrids on the market now. These clever pieces of kits enable you to purchase your sunglasses and goggles in one. This is achieved by supplying you with a sunglass where the sides can be clicked off the sunglass frame and replaced with a head-band for a more secure fit.

We stock models that come with a padding system, enabling you to have a more comfortable fit when wearing as a goggle, the padding clicks into the back of the sunglass (creating your full goggle).
