Ski touring goggles for Children

Glasses Children's ski goggles - the right choice in the Sportano shopSki goggles are undoubtedly one of the most important pieces of equipment for little winter sports enthusiasts. Even if it seems insignificant in the context of children's fun in the snow, proper eye protection from a young age is crucial for staying healthy and comfortable during outdoor activities. In the Sportano sports shop, you will find children's ski goggles from tried-and-tested brands such as UVEX, Julbo, GOG or POC.Safety First and foremost: how do skitur goggles protect young eyes? Eye protection at a young age is crucial, and a lack of proper care in this area can lead to permanent health problems later in life. Ski goggles perform several important functions here. Firstly, they protect the eyes from harmful UV radiation. It is worth knowing that snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays, which increases the risk of damage to the eyes. This is why goggles with UV filters are not only desirable, but actually necessary. No less important is protection from physical factors such as wind, snow or ice chippings. Wind can cause irritation and dry eyes, which is particularly dangerous for children, who are often unaware of the risks and may not pay attention to the first signs of discomfort. Snow and ice, on the other hand, can pose a mechanical hazard. Good ski goggles are designed in such a way that they minimise the risk of foreign objects entering the eye.Fit and comfort: what can be done to make a child want to wear the goggles? Even the best ski goggles will be ineffective if the child insists on not wearing them. Comfort and fit are therefore extremely important for a child to want to wear them. The goggles should be comfortable, not too tight, but not too loose either, so that they do not fall off during the activity. Look out for models with adjustable straps and those with special padding or cushions on the nose and temples to avoid chafing and irritation. How a child perceives their glasses is also of great importance. Often, for children it is not only functionality that matters, but also appearance. Therefore, take the time to choose a model that will catch your child's eye and make them want to wear them. You can even make it kind of fun and give your child the opportunity to choose from several suitable models.Types of Lenses: what options are available for children? When it comes to skittish glasses for children, choosing the right lenses is a key element that affects both the safety and comfort of the young wearer. Here are a few types of lenses to keep in mind when choosing glasses for your child: Lenses with UV filters: virtually all modern ski goggles have UV filters built in, but it is worth checking additionally. Lenses with UV400 filters are able to block almost 100% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, which is absolutely key to protecting children's eyes. Polarised lenses: this type of lens reduces glare from surfaces like snow and water, making them ideal for bright, sunny days on the slopes. They can significantly improve the quality of vision, which is especially important for children who are just learning to ski or snowboard. Photo-darkening (photo-reactive) lenses: these lenses automatically adjust their brightness depending on the light conditions. They are therefore a great choice for changing weather conditions, when the sun can unexpectedly hide behind clouds and then shine up again with full brilliance. Lens colour: it is also worth paying attention to the colour of the lenses. Different colours are suitable for different weather conditions. For example, yellow and orange lenses are good for low light, while darker shades such as brown or grey are better for bright, sunny days. Factors Aesthetic: colours and designs that will catch the eye of young skiersFor children, appearance is also important. Glasses in a child's favourite colour or with a favourite fairy tale motif can become much more attractive to the little one. Some companies produce goggles in the shape of famous characters or with little gadgets, which can also encourage their wearing. Of course, design should never go hand in hand with a reduction in quality, but if you can combine protection with an attractive design, it is worth doing so.
