Most of us know that ski goggles are an essential element of every skier's or snowboarder's gear. Many of us believe that we're exposed too little to no serious danger while using a lift or hitting the slopes. Quite the contrary! Just think about it. You know very well that nothing attracts sun rays faster than inconspicuous white snow. These rays, especially in higher parts of mountains, pose a great threat for us. Not to mention branches that stick our or particles of crushed ice floating in the air... In this very moment, our face and eyes need the best possible protection. That's when... ski goggles come to the rescue!

Short summary
Choose the right size. Ski goggles come in different sizes, so make sure to choose a pair that fits your face comfortably.
Consider the lens type. There are many different types of lenses available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Choose a lens type that is appropriate for the weather conditions you will be skiing in.
Pay attention to the lens color. The lens color will affect how much light is filtered out. Choose a lens color that is appropriate for the light conditions you will be skiing in.
Look for good ventilation. Ski goggles should have good ventilation to prevent fogging.
Choose a comfortable frame. The frame of the ski goggles should be comfortable to wear and should fit snugly to your face.
Choose a durable frame. Ski goggles can take a beating, so choose a pair with a durable frame that can withstand drops and impacts.
Consider interchangeable lenses. Interchangeable lenses allow you to switch lenses depending on the weather conditions, which can be very convenient.
Clean your goggles regularly. Fogging is a common problem with ski goggles, but it can be prevented by cleaning them regularly with a mild soap and water solution.
Bonus tip: If you wear prescription glasses, make sure to choose ski goggles that are compatible with them.
Goggles protect not only against sun, wind, or snow, but also constitute a kind of shield for most of our face. None of us want to return home with red spots, burns and frostbites...
Now, ask yourself a question: before reading the sentences above, were you aware how important the choice of appropriate goggles was to provide protection during the whole day spent on the slope? If not, this piece should help you sort basic information that will come in handy while choosing appropriate ski goggles.
Ski goggles should be chosen with gender and age in mind. Snow goggles for kids will be smaller and lighter. These heavier and larger will be suitable for adults.
Men's ski goggles are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. They tempt with dynamic, sports design and colours (marked by a symbol, e.g. C4Z14-GGM...).
Women's goggles usually have a narrower, smaller frame to ensure better fit to a relatively petite female face. Fashionable colours and sleek frame shape are their main features (marked by a symbol, e.g. C4Z14-GGD...).
Kid's goggles are intended for the youngest skiing aficionados. They are characterised by relatively small size and typical kid-friendly design. The goggles come with more basic technological parameters. Their relatively low price encourages the purchase (marked by a symbol, e.g. C4Z14-JGGM / JGGD...).
Goggle size may differ depending on head and face size. Over the last few seasons, it could be noticed that large, colourful goggles are becoming increasingly popular. You, however, can pick a model that appeals to you the most. It's as simple as that. There's total freedom.
Goggles with smaller frame – are narrower, shorter, and shallower than goggles in other sizes. They were designed for smaller faces or female/male skiers that appreciate understated accessories.
Goggles with medium frame – characterised by medium depth, width and height. Intended for people with larger faces.
Goggles with large frame – have very wide, high, and deep frames. Suitable for people with larger, more oval faces. If you appreciate modern design and want to stand out on the slope – big goggles are especially for you.
You should check if the goggles are big enough so that your prescription glasses fit underneath with no risk of damage. Everything depends on the style and size of frame that houses your corrective lens. Once you've put selected goggles on your prescription glasses, immediately make sure that the goggles fit snugly to your face without applying excess pressure on your forehead, nose, or orbits.
There are many types of lenses that come with various specialist technologies, influencing the quality and safety of your time on the slopes. To spend your money wisely, however, consider which weather conditions are best for riding and how advanced your skills are. Only then will you be able to select goggles that meet your needs.
Polarisation — significantly enhancing contrast of vision, eliminating glares and reducing the intensity of light reflected off snow. This technology will spare your eyes some fatigue during the whole day spent on the slope.
A REVO coat — providing additional protection against sun that effectively reflects rays.
A mirror layer — protecting the eyes against various, unpleasant ailments such as cataract or conjunctivitis. Perfectly blocks sun rays. Helps minimise glares too. All 4F goggles are equipped with the mirror layer.
Anti-Fog coat — as the name suggests, its main task is to prevent lens fogging in below-zero temperature outside. It distributes moisture accumulated on the surface, thus becoming a great weapon in the fight against fog. Remember that taking goggles off and putting them on your helmet or hat may cause lenses to fog regardless of the Anti-Fog system. All lenses in 4F glasses are equipped with the Anti-Fog coat.
UV 400 filter — protects against 3 main UV radiation types: UVA, UVB, UVC. It provides great protection against undesirable effects of eye exposure to solar radiation. All 4F goggles are equipped with the UV400 filter.
It's also worth highlighting that lenses do not cause image distortion. Instead, they provide appropriate contrast, clarity and field of vision (160°). Now you can be sure you won't become disoriented on the slope, and you won't cause, or maybe even manage to avoid, painful falls.
To check the field of vision, put goggles on your face. Next, stretch out your arms in front of you and spread them to the sides, looking out for a moment when they are still in your field of vision. Arms stretched to the sides create a 180° field of vision, so a slightly decreased angle will give you the required 160°.
One of the first decisions we face while purchasing ski goggles is the choice of appropriate lens colour and learning about the proper filter category that gives us information about light transmission index. It has a decisive influence on how much light permeates the lens and gets into the eye. Bad choice of lens colour in regard to weather conditions makes them plain useless.
S0 - white coloured: let through 80 to 100% light, suitable for riding at night.
S1 - amber and gold coloured: let through 43 to 80% of light, suitable for riding on a cloudy day, at dusk or in bad visibility.
S2 - yellow or orange colour: let through 18 to 43% of light, suitable for riding when the sky is overcast.
S3 - brown, grey, red or blue colour: let through 8 to 18% of light, suitable for riding on a sunny day.
S4 - black colour: let through 3 to 8% of light, suitable for riding on a sunny day.
Lighter lenses should be used on cloudy days and after dusk. Darker lenses are perfect for rides on sunny days.

View productLens shape has a decisive influence on field of vision and its quality. So-called spherical lenses are the most popular lens type. Their shape resembles a camera lens. Thanks to it, the lenses fit better to eye "curve", providing significantly clearer view. Models with spherical lenses come with relatively higher price, but they enable even better optics, so it's worth to check them out.
Ventilation enables to maintain appropriate microclimate inside the goggles. It prevents moisture accumulation on lens surface, preventing excess fogging. To put it shortly – better ventilation equals better comfort during riding.
Minimal (ventilated frame) – goggles with ventilation system found in the frame only may have a tendency to fog up when we're not undertaking any activity.
Moderate (ventilated lens) – provides significantly better fog protection than a frame ventilated system. It will work out perfectly during moderate activity.
High (ventilated frame + lens) – provides the best, maximum protection against fogging even during extreme runs down the slope.
It's also worth to pay attention to the material the goggles were made from. Make sure to check whether the frame is made of polyurethane. It is characterised by excellent flexibility and high resistance to weather conditions, such as frost. Lenses should be made of polycarbonate that makes goggles light and resistant to scratches and cracks. It brightens up and sharpens the view.
During the purchase, pay attention to the soft lining on the inside of the goggles. It absorbs moisture and makes sure the goggles fit snugly to the face.
Last but not least, learn more about the adjustable strap that ensures the goggles stay on our head. It can be adjusted even without removing gloves, which is particularly handy in very low temperatures.
Light conditions can change very quickly throughout the day. Sometimes we even fail to notice that light conditions change from one state to another. This quite significant issue was the mission statement of the designers that had decided to create goggles with lens change feature. This solution is one of the most significant innovations in improving the functionality of ski goggles.
In some cases, it's possible to purchase lenses separately for a given ski goggles model. On the other hand, it's becoming more of a widespread practice to provide interchangeable lenses to the complete set. An interchangeable lens usually comes in different colour and has another optical filter category than the main lens that has been placed in the frame by the company. The sets with additional lens are, however, more expensive. Still, it's worth investing in such a solution; thanks to it, you will be ready for changing weather conditions. You won't lose any time, energy, and patience. The lens can be replaced literally in seconds, e.g. while on a lift.
Snow goggles are prone to abrasion and mechanical damage, that is, scratches and cracks.
Always store your goggles in a special protective case. You sure know how often sunglasses get scratchy while transporting them in a car or in a bag with other things. It's the same with goggles. That's why you should store them, as often as possible, in a safe place.
If you want to clean your goggles, all it takes is wiping their outside surface with a special gentle cleaning cloth. You can also use the soft cloth case included in the set. Many ski jackets are equipped with special goggle cleaning cloths, a so-called goggle cleaner. If you have one - don't hesitate to use it. Clean your goggles gently. This is very important.
Don't wipe the inside of the lens. The inside is coated with above-mentioned Anti-Fog layer. If you wipe it off, it's almost certain that your goggles will be prone to fogging up. Wondering what will happen when snow or water gets inside your goggles? It's enough if you "shake off" the drops from lens surface and then wipe it down gently with a cleaning cloth. Remember not to rub too hard.
Never use facial tissues, paper towels or napkins. Wood fibre found in its structure can remove the protective layer and scratch the lens.
Never wipe the goggles using various chemical glass cleaning solutions! Chemical agents found in these liquids may permanently and irreversibly damage lens properties.
Fogged up goggles are the real menace to even the best skiers and freeriders. If you don't see very clearly, you can't ride. It's particularly annoying, isn't it?
Don't wipe the inside of your lens so as not to remove the Anti-Fog layer unintentionally.
Make sure to check all the ventilation holes. They can literally be "clogged" with snow. Their lack of tightness may prevent the air from effortlessly moving inside the goggles, causing the fog to form quickly on lens surface. Prevent it by gently removing snow/frost from the used ventilation system.
The moment you remove your goggles, keep them away from your forehead. The second you put them on a warm, often sweaty forehead, the goggles immediately fill up with warm, wet air. It will make it significantly harder to get rid of fog quickly once you put them on your eyes again. So - you're better off leaving them on your nose or placing the goggles directly on your ski helmet.

Goggle size, or precisely frame size, may differ depending on head and face size. Goggles protect not only against sun, wind, or snow, but also constitute a kind of a shield for most of our face. When choosing a model for ourselves, we have to pay attention to our comfort.
When choosing lenses, we should pay attention to specialist technologies they come with: polarisation, REVO coat, a mirror layer, Anti-fog coat, UV filter. Lenses do not cause image distortion while providing appropriate contrast, clarity and field of vision.
Lens colour is chosen based on prevailing atmospheric conditions. Lighter lenses (white, amber, golden, yellow, orange) are recommended for overcast days and riding after dusk. Darker lenses (brown, grey, red, blue, black) are better for riding on sunny days.
