Skiing goggles

Glasses Ski goggles - choose the most advanced models in the Sportano shopSki goggles are one of the most important pieces of equipment for every skier or snowboarder. Not only do they make skiing more comfortable, but above all they protect your eyes from negative atmospheric factors such as wind, snow or sun. Correct visibility on the slopes is a key element which affects the safety and quality of skiing. In the Sportano sports shop you will find professional ski goggles from renowned brands such as Bliz, Alpina, DYNAFIT, Oakley, Tifosi, Rudy Project or UVEX.Lens types: a guide to the different optionsChoosing the right lens in ski goggles is a key element that can significantly affect the quality and safety of your ride. This is influenced by many factors, from weather conditions to the skier's individual preferences. Here is a more detailed guide to the different types of lenses that can be found on the market: Cylindrical vs. spherical lenses: cylindrical lenses are flat vertically and curved only horizontally. They tend to be cheaper, but can cause some distortion and limitations in vision. Spherical lenses are curved both vertically and horizontally, providing a much better quality of vision and minimising distortion. Polarised lenses: if you often drive in very sunny conditions, polarised lenses may be ideal for you. They reduce glare and increase contrast, which is particularly useful on slopes with lots of snow. Photochromatic lenses: these are lenses that automatically adjust their level of tinting depending on the light conditions. They are perfect for people who do not want to constantly change their glasses depending on the weather. Tint and lens colour: different lens colours have different applications. For example, yellow and gold lenses are good in low light as they increase contrast. Lenses in brown, copper or pink are good in a variety of conditions as they increase clarity and depth of vision. Lens coatings and treatment: some lenses have special coatings that can increase their functionality. For example, anti-fog, anti-scratch or hydrophobic coatings that prevent water or snow from sticking to the lenses. When choosing lenses, it is also worth looking at their category, from 0 to 4, which determines the level of darkness of the lens and the amount of light transmitted. Higher numbers are better for bright, sunny days, while lower numbers are better for cloudy conditions or night driving. Remember that choosing the right lenses is not only a matter of comfort, but more importantly safety. That's why it's worth investing in the lenses that are best suited to your individual needs and the conditions in which you drive most often. Anti-fog technologies and UV protection: how to take care of your eyes on the slopes? Both fog and UV rays can be problematic on the slopes. That's why it's a good idea to invest in goggles with anti-fog coating and UV filters. Some modern models also have built-in fans to help keep the lenses clear. And don't forget to clean your glasses regularly - this is best done with special products designed for lenses.Fit and comfort: how do you find the goggles that are perfect for you? Finding the right fitting ski goggles is one of the key elements when it comes to ensuring both comfort and safety on the slopes. Although the design and colour of the lenses may attract attention, fit and wearing comfort are just as important. Here are a few aspects to pay particular attention to: Face size and shape: the most important factor is that the ski goggles fit the shape and size of your face. The goggles should fit snugly but not squeeze your face. It is worth paying attention to the foam seals, which should be soft and comfortable. Helmet compatibility: if you wear a ski helmet, make sure the goggles you choose will be compatible with it. Some ski goggles are specifically designed to fit helmets for maximum comfort. Strap adjustment: the ideal ski goggles should have an adjustable strap that allows you to adjust them to fit your head or helmet. The strap should also be padded with a non-slip material so that the goggles do not slip while riding. Ventilation: good ski goggles should have a ventilation system that prevents the lenses from fogging up. This can be particularly important on warm days or during intense riding. In-store testing: if possible, it is best to try on several pairs of goggles in a shop before making a purchase. Then you can also see how different models affect your field of vision. Some goggles can restrict visibility, which can be dangerous on the slopes. Additional features: some ski goggles offer additional features, such as interchangeable lenses that can be easily changed depending on the weather conditions, or anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings to increase the durability and functionality of the product. The final choice will depend on your individual needs and preferences, but with the above criteria in mind, finding ski goggles that are perfect for you should be much easier Ski goggles for children: what you need to know?Ski goggles for little ones should, above all, be safe and comfortable. It is important that they fit snugly on the face and are compatible with the helmet the child will be wearing. In addition, it is a good idea for children to choose lenses with extra UV protection and anti-fog coating. Goggles with elastic straps that can be easily adjusted to the size of the child's head are also an interesting option. There are many factors that go into choosing the right ski goggles, but remember that safety and comfort are the most important. Therefore, it is worth investing in high-quality equipment that will last for many seasons.
