Prescription Ski Goggles

Prescription ski goggles have become increasingly popular in recent ski seasons. The fact they avoid the problems associated with contact lenses, and advancements in anti-fog technology, mean this is likely to continue into the future as well. We feature prescription snow goggles by Adidas and Bolle - two of the leaders in ski goggle technology - so there is no need to compromise your vision or looks.

All prescription ski goggles include Free UK Delivery. The price also includes prescription lenses and prescription insert - so the price you see is the price you pay!

Lens Tint Guide for Prescription Ski Goggles

The perfect tint will depend on the conditions you want the sunglasses and goggles for, and your personal preference. As a guide:

	Vermillion/Rose Considered to be the universal lens tint for ski goggles. Ideal in moderate and poor light as it increases contrast, but when a mirror coating is applied the lens is also suitable for brighter conditions.
	Yellow Perfect for flat light conditions, especially fog, as it enhances contrast by eliminating blue light.
	Orange Perfect for overcast/low light conditions, as it enhances contrast and depth perception. A hybrid between yellow and vermilion lenses.
	Cat. 4 Category 4 lenses are very dark (3-8% light transmission), so are only suitable for use in very bright conditions, such as high-altitude use.
	Polarised Usually grey or brown - eradicates glare caused by light-rays reflecting off flat surfaces. Therefore, they are particularly useful for glacier-skiing and use in bright conditions.
	Photochromic Also known as Transitions or Reactolite - light-adjusting lenses that darken when exposed to UV. Therefore they are very flexible for changeable light-conditions. In ski goggles, photochromic lenses tend to be amber or rose based, rather than the grey/brown photochromic lenses found in sunglasses.

Prescription Ski Goggles in Detail

All prescription ski goggles work with prescription inserts, but we have also tailored our collection to focus on:

In particular, we have selected ski goggles that feature:

• 100% UV protection - essential for use at altitude and on snow
• Polycarbonate lenses - which are virtually indestructible, so offer enhanced impact protection
• Scratch-resistant coatings to keep your goggles in perfect condition.
• Air vents - either in the goggle frame or in-lens - this reduces fogging and keeps you cool.
• Anti-fog coatings
• Outriggers - reduce strain on the goggle's optics, and prevents gaping between the goggle foam and your face.
• Multi-layer foam - keeps your goggles comfortable and stops horrible red marks!
• Tints for both bright days and whiteouts, as well as intermediate lenses that offer huge flexibility.

• Prescription lens upgrades available: standard CR39 (plastic), polycarbonate (extra-tough), thin (high index).
