Basically, ski goggles are used for two purposes: firstly, it is to protect the eyes from snow, branches or other objects, and secondly, it is protection from bright sun and glare. To choose quality glasses, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics.
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to check the lenses. Even the smallest changes in glass thickness can lead to significant image distortion, so it is advisable to try each model on yourself. In addition, the lenses come in a variety of colors. For example, orange and yellow lenses will allow you to see the topography of the track most clearly in low light conditions. Dark lenses are best used in the mountains. Transparent ones are suitable if you ride in the evening or under artificial lighting.
Step 2
Spectacle frames are usually made of TPU, which remains flexible and durable at all temperatures. Check if the frame is restricting your peripheral vision.
Step 3
The seal must be made of foamy porous material. In this case, this will allow the glasses to pass air and absorb moisture. Two technologies are commonly used in the production of a seal: triple seal or thermoforming. In the first case, the seal consists of several layers - it is most convenient for wearing on the face. The thermoformed seal is made from a material of the same density.
Step 4
The goggle strap must be elastic in the first place. Also, while wearing gloves, check how easy it is to adjust the clasp.
Step 5
The ventilation system is used to prevent the glasses from fogging up. When driving on the highway, this system drives the air flow inside the glasses - this prevents the lens from fogging. There are two types of ventilation: single and double. In the single system, air enters the glasses through special channels in the frame. The dual system has additional holes at the top of the lens for improved ventilation. Pay attention to whether the holes are protected with a special layer of foam to keep out snow or water.
