Scott Ski Goggle Lenses: The Buying Guide

SCOTT are world leaders in ski goggle manufacturing and their goggle lenses deliver unbelievable levels of clarity. All SCOTT goggles offer 100% UVA/UVB/UVC Protection and the lenses are either Cylindrical or Spherical giving superior optical clarity: (cheap ski goggles use ‘stamped lenses’ which are flat).
Buying a good pair of ski goggles is obviously essential for maximising your vision and enjoyment on the slopes.  Lens technology has advanced so much in recent years, but it can sometimes be confusing to know which lens to use when.

The Power of Gore-Tex® in a Ski Jacket!

When choosing a new ski jacket most are looking for the same thing - qualities of a jacket that will provide endurance and performance...so it's decision time - to Gore or not to Gore?!

Endurance: Gore-Tex® is the top of the range fabric for the slopes: highly durable, breathable, completely waterproof and windproof.  It really is every skier's dream, but comes at a cost.  Most of this season's Gore-Tex jackets start in the region of £300.  Worth checking out www.sports-outlet.co.uk for some genuine savings on quality Gore-Tex® jackets:

  • 20% off the Scott Ralston Jacket now £252! (RRP £315)
  • Even bigger discounts of previous season's GoreTex - how about £215 for the best-selling Scott Preston Jacket!?   
  • Scott Lombardo Jacket 2014 - 10% off £284
  • Scott Explorair (Shell Touring Jacket) now 50% off! £182.50
  • Many more bargains online!


Performance: So you've chosen the fabric - now look for extra features like underarm venting and functional storage in your new jacket.  Adjustable hoods if you need protection on those chairlifts and powderskirts to keep the white stuff out when you're heading back down the hill. Do you need just a shell jacket or some insulation where you need it most?  

Looking Good: the toughest jacket in the world has still got to look good!  The trend now is very much on block solid colours, rather than patterns which date faster.  We love the bright colours - but make your choice: bright top, dark pants; bright top, bright pants; dark top, bright pants....but never dark pants, dark top - don't play it that safe!
