Mens Snowboard Goggles

Which lens do you need for Australian light?

This is the one most people get wrong. Australian riding is full of flat, overcast, snowing light far more often than bluebird, and a dark low-light-unfriendly lens leaves you unable to read the terrain. For our conditions a mid-range visible-light-transmission lens that lifts contrast in flat light is the smart default.

A low-VLT dark or mirrored lens is for bright bluebird days, which we get fewer of than the marketing shots suggest. If you can only have one lens, choose for the flat days.

Should you buy an interchangeable-lens goggle?

If you ride a range of conditions, yes. An interchangeable goggle lets you swap to a bright lens for sunny days and a low-light lens for storms in seconds. Many kits include two lenses, which works out cheaper than buying two goggles and covers the full range an Australian season throws at you.

How should a goggle fit?

A goggle should seal evenly around your face with no gaps at the nose or temples. Gaps let in cold air, cause fogging and leak light. Try it against your face and check the foam sits flush all the way around. Frame sizes vary, so if you have a smaller or larger face, size the frame accordingly.

Do goggles fit over glasses?

Some do. If you wear prescription glasses, look for goggles marked OTG (over-the-glasses), which have channels in the foam for the arms. Tell us you wear glasses and we will point you at the frames that genuinely work.

Will they fit your helmet?

Goggle and helmet should meet with no gap across the forehead. Most modern goggles and helmets pair fine, but the fit is worth checking as a pair. If you are buying both, buy them together or ask us and we will confirm the combination sits right.
