So, you’ve tried skiing or snowboarding for the first time or you are new to the sport and wondering how to choose the best ski goggles for you? Well, don’t worry, we have put together a quick-fire guide to explain the most vital points in choosing a pair of ski or snowboard goggles to suit your style, requirements and budget.
Now we’re biased of course against our own models, we’re so proud of the eyewear we have built so we will also run through which of our Powster goggles might be best for you by highlighting the key features and benefits, then you can make an informed decision on the best ski goggles for you, no matter what type or rider you are.
What are ski goggles?
It won't surprise you to hear that ski goggles are worlds apart from other types of goggles, like the ones you wear during chemistry class in high school for example. They also vary in technology and style to motocross, motorbiking or other forms of athletic goggles.
The most simplistic explanation is that essentially ski goggles prevent damage to your eyes by protecting them from wind, the sun and filtering 100% of the UV rays. The intensity of the sun increases with altitude, particularly in the microclimate of the mountains and so does the snow glare. Protecting your eyes is therefore essential for the health of your eyes as well as to enhance your riding experience and make you the best rider you can be.
Ski goggles are the same as snowboard goggles, generally speaking, there don't need to be any distinguishing design features as the core product should offer optical clarity and visual power and be super comfortable no matter what, even if you wear prescription glasses.
What does OTG mean in ski goggles?
OTG stands for “Over The Glasses” and describes a type of goggle frame designed to combine snow goggles and optical glasses. Some people don't like to opt for contact lenses when riding or perhaps simply find glasses more comfortable so to allow glasses wearers to simply wear goggles over the top, this type of goggle style has been engineered. More spacious goggle frames to keep your glasses from being pushed up your nose and enhance your vision on the mountain while offering the wearer style and comfort which are the more cost-effective option to prescription snow goggles.
