Ski goggles buying guide
Guide
Buying guide: which ski goggles are right for me?
The 6 most important points when buying ski goggles – explained simply so you find the right pair.
1. Do the goggles fog up?
The most important point. Look for a double lens with anti-fog coating and vents, so no condensation forms between the lenses. All YAN BAY goggles have both.
2. UV protection
Ski goggles should offer UV400 – it blocks 100 % of UVA and UVB rays.
3. Lens change: classic or magnetic?
With magnetic ski goggles the lens is held by magnets and can be swapped in seconds without touching the inside. More comfortable – and it protects the anti-fog layer. More: Magnetic ski goggles.
4. Fit and helmet
The goggles should sit flush with your helmet, otherwise cold wind reaches your forehead. A wide, adjustable strap keeps them secure on the helmet.
5. Lens colour and style
Mirrored lenses reduce glare in the sun. The colour is mostly a question of style – pick what you like and what goes with your helmet.
6. Care tips
Never rub the inside – that’s where the anti-fog layer is; just dab off moisture. After skiing, let them dry at room temperature, not on a radiator. Store them in a soft pouch so the lens stays scratch-free. And don’t push the goggles onto your forehead when you sweat – they fog up faster.
