And a quality pair of ski goggles shouldnt be taken for granted.

These work best with Smith helmets; we felt gaps when wearing other brands helmets.

The lens-swapping is a bit trickier to secure than a magnetized system.

Switching out the lenses has a bit of a learning curve.

These have integrated well with different helmets, and weve encountered few gaps or drafts.

These are somewhat more fog-prone than others we tested.

These only come with one lens.

We used these goggles in a variety of light and weather conditions from Vermont to Tahoe to British Columbia.

The frames have a wonderfully wide field of view, with excellent peripheral vision.

The goggles below performed well and can be a good option for some skiers and snowboarders.

Most high-quality pairs of ski goggles should last you at least three or four seasons of moderate use.

This depends on your face shape and how big your glasses are.

The best color lens for ski goggles depends on the weather and light conditions.

Some models have a dozen different lens options, including photochromic and polarized technology.

Photochromic lenses adjust to changing light, which are great for variable conditions.

We like yellow-tinted lenses for low-light or socked-in days, and darker lenses for bluebird days.

Look on the retailer or manufacturer site for the VLT percentage.

A higher VLT allows more light to pass through, making those lenses better suited for low-light conditions.

Lower VLT will be best for sunny days.

it’s possible for you to always purchase more colors separately and swap them out depending on weather.
