Ski and snowboard goggles

Ski or snowboard goggles are essential elements of your equipment. A good pair of goggles will protect you from these dangers:

Sun & Ultraviolet rays
The combination of high altitude and the reflection of the snow causes the sun's rays to hit you much harder during skiing or snowboarding than during other extreme sports. UV rays can damage your eyes and cause snow blindness.

Snow and Ice
During highspeed descents, you will want to prevent snow and ice particles from getting into your eyes thus blinding you.

Twigs
Those who go off slopes or into the backcountry will want to protect their eyes from twigs hitting their face as they descend through the trees
