Ganzton Ski/Snowboard Goggles, Double Lens, UV Protection, Anti-Fog, for Men / Women / Boys / Girls

Product Information

One nagging issue with wearing your prescription glasses under a pair of ski goggles is fog buildup. Retro-inspired cylindrical lens goggles are growing in popularity, and Spy’s Ace is a quality mid-range option. The Comfort Frame is designed in such a way that it adapts perfectly to the shape of the face thanks to the flexible plastic webbing in the forehead and cheek area.

For a similar all-around design but with a trimmed-down, medium/large fit, check out the Flight Deck M. Whether it is snow debris or glare, give your eyes the protection they need with a pair of Trespass ski goggles.At the same time, you really don’t want them to be loose enough for snow or debris to sneak into your eyes. Finding a suitable helmet to pair with your ski goggles that doesn’t result in the dreaded gaper gap (a large opening between the goggle and helmet) or worse, doesn’t fit at all, used to be a challenge.

Most goggles are designed with some degree of ventilation to allow air to flow inside and prevent them from fogging up. Advances in lens technology (covered below) are decreasing the negative impacts of the cylindrical shape, and many of our top models have this lens type, including the Giro Method. Smith doesn’t have a lot of holes in their snow goggle lineup—they pretty much cover it all—but the Proxy manages to fill a gap with its a framed look, spherical lens, and medium fit. Smith, Giro, Anon, Glade, and others also have a range of eyewear-ready models, including the Smith I/O Mag XL and Anon M4 MFI.

In terms of optical quality, it may lack the HD-like effect of some of the premium options from Smith or Oakley, but it’s not far behind and roughly half the cost. They feature an anti-fog coating to keep vision clear and constant face-fitting foam for maximum comfort and the best seal and a mirrored dual-lens for maximum protection against harmful UV light. In addition, you'll see "low bridge" options for those that find the fit of a standard nose bridge to be too tall. The current leader in this technology is Anon, which uses a magnetic system on their “M” collection that allows you to swap out lenses without taking the goggles off your head.

This goggle features a large frame (the women’s Drift offers a medium fit) with decent edge-to-edge visibility that minimizes the tunnel effect you find on many cheap designs.These lenses usually have a rose, orange or yellow tint and actively enhance what light there is to increase definition. A good fitting goggle will allow for a greater field of vision, including sideways, and should have a neat seal around the face.

Ski Goggles with The Best UV ProtectionShield your eyes from harmful UV rays with our ski goggles' high-quality lenses, which offer 100% UV protection. In use, we’ve found this to be largely true (especially in peripheral vision), although as mentioned above, the differences between lens types aren't as noticeable as they once were. They give exceptional peripheral vision for greater awareness on the slope and come in both female and unisex fits. If you only get out a couple times a year or plan your trips around favorable conditions, these aren’t big compromises.With a relatively low-profile shape, toric lens, and medium-large fit, the PXV2 offers comparable peripheral vision as top players like the Smith I/O Mag above (and noticeably better than the brand’s X2 and NFX2). The polycarbonate/acetate conception creates an effective thermal barrier between the cold on the outside and the heat coming from the inside, giving your kid a perfect view on the slopes! That said, for those that purchase a goggle with a single lens or only plan to change tints on rare occasions, it can be serviceable (although we recommend making the swap at home rather than outside on the mountain).
