Cylindrical goggles curve horizontally, whilst remaining flat vertically. Spherical goggles, on the other hand, curve on both axes. Cylindrical lenses have traditionally been a cheaper option, but they are currently in fashion. From a technical perspective, the spherical lens is largely superior - offering better optics, more peripheral vision and less fogging.

Simply, OTG (Over The Glasses) goggles are designed to fit over the top of your everyday glasses. They tend to have cutaways in the foam or frame moulding which to avoid undue temple pressure.

Matching brand certainly helps for many people, as the brands have often designed the two products in conjunction. You will find that the vents line up perfectly, which will help to avoid fogging and overheating. Plus, you can match colours to look as cool as snow! However, it is not essential. We would always recommend choosing your ideal goggle and helmet first, and then checking compatibility after. Personal preference on fit/look and individual face/head shape means that there is no 100% rules in this area!

Look for products with maximum ventilation - both frame and lens vents. Also, the more expensive goggles in a range will tend to be equipped with premium anti-fog coatings, which will really make a difference. These goggles also tend to have better quality foam, which will help to wick moisture away, and so your lens stays fog-free. For those who really struggle, we also offer goggles with micro-electric fans - a bit like the set up you have in your car!

Good goggle care is just as important as specific products/features.
1. Keep the goggles where they belong - on your face, not on your helmet!
2. Keep the vents clear - not blocked with face masks/scarves/etc.
3. Put the goggles on warm - keep them close to you, so they are as close to body temperature when they go on. Don't leave them in boot rooms overnight!

It is inserts all the way for goggles right now. This allows you change the outer lens to match the weather, keeps costs down and makes prescription changes less of a headache. That being said, we know some people really want a direct glaze. When the technology catches up, rest assured RxSport will be the #1 place to look!

This depends on the manufacturer to a degree. With the growth of lens interchange systems, each brand works slightly differently. As such, we suggest checking the instructions that should have been in the goggle packaging. Alternatively, please contact us, and we can talk you through the process for your specific goggle. For traditional goggles, gently separate the frame from the lens, remove the lens carefully and store in a clean and dry location. To reinsert, you will see little notches that align to matching grooves in the frame. Start with the nose bridge and work your way out to the sides and finish with the top notches.

We offer a wide range of sizes, with sizing information provided on the individual product pages. Generally smaller goggles are preferred by women and guys with smaller heads. That being said, there has been a shift towards larger 'over-sized' goggles in recent years. These offer a cool look, and also open up a wider field of view. With adjustable straps on every set of goggles we sell, you will find most goggles fit most people. Overall, it depends on personal preference, and how the goggles fit with your helmet.
