The Benefits of Snow Goggles

Considering new goggles for your skiing or snowboarding kit? Snow goggles provide several benefits that will enhance your experience on the slopes:

1. Protection

A goggle offers excellent eye protection from snow, sleet, or ice. With the elements blocked, you will have a clearer view of the slopes ahead, which leads us to #2...

2. Optical Clarity

Goggles help provide you with a clear view of the mountain. With Giro’s VIVID technology you can read terrain even more clearly because it eliminates flat light and improves contrast in snow conditions. Learn more about VIVID tech.

3. Blocks UV Rays

All goggle lenses in Giro’s lineup filter 100% of harmful UV rays.

4. Keeps Face Warmer

A chilly breeze while you’re skiing or boarding can cause your face to go numb if you aren’t properly geared up. Goggles will keep your face warmer. Pair them with a buff or neck gaiter and the proper riding gear and you can be quite comfortable on the snow.

5. Style

Style is purely a personal preference, but luckily goggles help each rider flaunt their personality. There are so many different strap colors/designs and various lens tints/colors/mirror coatings to play with. Have fun picking whatever feels right and boosts your confidence on the mountain.
