Snow Fusion – Ski Goggles

Budget vs The Best Ski Goggles

If there’s one bit of kit that can really make a difference to the enjoyment that you get out of your ski trip, it’s a set of ski goggles. Probably the smallest item of ski gear that you’ll be carrying with you, your ski goggles are quite literally the barrier between you and what you see on the mountain so understandably you want to make sure that you’ve got a good pair with you.

From the top budget buys to the leading brands on the ski and snowboarding market the best Ski Goggles are not always the most expensive but the ones that tick all the right boxes for you. Of course, we know that some brands are better than others and their tried and tested products win over skiers every season because of their awesome features and reputation, and its these that keep coming out every year with new and updated models promising a bit more by way of quality and comfort among other things. So whether you’re looking for the leading all singing, all dancing ski goggles for the trip of a lifetime or just a simple set that’s not going to break the bank or fail you on the first descent down into the valley these are our best buys for the coming season.

They may be some of the cheapest ski goggles available to buy but they’re certainly not low on quality too; Arnette Ski Goggles are backed by a reputation for great products and were the starting platform for other great brands too. Established back in 1992 Arnette is often thought of as the original action sports eyewear brand and has always prided itself on progressive design and functionality that’s second to none. The Arnette Series 3 range is a great starter goggle which meets all the standard requirements of the skier and then some. Technical features include anti-fog lens coating, triple layer face foam and their cool breeze venting system for comfort and uninterrupted visual clarity. In addition, these Arnette Ski Goggles are also scratch resistant and optimised to fit all kinds of size helmets and face shapes.

Von Zipper offer more in terms of looks, after all, they were established to inject a bit of the fashion world into the action sports market when four friends came together in 2000 and noticed a big gap in the market. Deciding that the sports scene needed a bit more to it Von Zipper didn’t lose sight of the products it created and so delivered premium sports equipment that reflected the team riders, the employees and designers perfectly. The Von Zipper Dojo Ski Goggles represent everything the brand does well with features such as integrated lens and frame venting, wide peripheral vision with 100% UV filtering. These Ski Goggles also feature VZ’s Thermo-Polyurethane frame which stays flexible in the coldest conditions.

As the saying goes, ‘save the best till last’, Oakley is the brand on the tip of the tongue of every skier looking for new Ski Goggles. The leading brand in skiwear technology, Oakley Ski Goggles are more than just good quality, they’re packed with technical features that trump all others. And while you do tend to pay a bit more for the luxury of Oakleys you do get so much more for your money in terms of quality, specifications and arguably, looks. The Oakley A Frame Ski Goggles are some of the best sellers on the market and with good reason too. Featuring the standard Triple polar-tech fleece face foam, these goggles are not only comfortable but wick away moisture which in turn reduces the risk of fogging. Coupled with anti-fog lenses, an excellent venting system also improves clarity of vision over the length of a full day on the mountain. Where Oakley excels is the superior High Definition Optics which offers unrivalled visual brilliance; it’s no surprise that Oakley Ski Goggles are the go-to brand for most skiers.
