Ski Eye Gear: Goggles, Sunglasses & Prescription Eyewear
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009Ski season is here. Ready? Don’t forget to grab your snow gear and let’s rock it!
Ski Goggles - Ski Goggles will protect your eyes from wind and debris. In addition, the lenses will cut glare and haze coming from the shiny snow surface, and block harmful UV rays. I would recommend double lenses as they provide a thermal barrier that prevents the lenses from fogging.

Ski Sunglasses - For those who do not like mask-type-of-eyewear, eyewear manufactures introduced ski sunglasses. Some models come in a package with an elastic strap that can be attached to the sunglass temples. Wearing the sunglasses with a strap, you can be sure that the sunglasses will stay on your face and do not fall off while you enjoy skiing. I would also recommend you to get sunglasses with a foam seal or a gasket. It will provide you with comfort and an additional protection from the wind.

Ski Prescription Goggles - Prescription wearers can customize their goggles with prescription Rx adapters that fit inside the goggles behind the lenses. I personally own Bolle Prescription Goggles with their featured Rx adapter. It is very easy to snap in. I also did not have to order the expensive Rx lenses for the adapter. Cheapest CR-39 worked perfectly because I already had all the important features in the goggle lenses.

Ski Prescription Sunglasses - You can save some money and buy a good pair of sunglasses that you can wear while skiing. When the snow season is over, you can use the same eyewear as a regular pair of prescription sunglasses. Choose plastic frame vs. metal, as plastic is more durable. Also make sure the prescription sunglasses feature polycarbonate lenses and a foam gasket (if it is removable - even better).
