Choosing the right ski goggles



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.

We stock Scott and Smith Ski Goggles.  We have chosen these brands as they are world leaders in ski goggle manufacturing and their goggle lenses deliver unbelievable levels of clarity. All Smith and Scott goggles offer 100% UVA/UVB/UVC Protection.  

All Smith and Scott lenses are either Cylindrical or Spherical giving superior optical clarity: (cheap ski goggles use ‘stamped lenses’ which are flat).  

We offer discounted junior and youth ski goggles, as well as OTG, male, female and unisex ski goggles for all conditions.  If you have any queries regarding which is the best goggle for you, then please do contact us.
