subject: Kids Ski Goggles Your Buying Guide For The Winter [print this page] What a ski helmet does for the head, kids" ski and snowboard goggles do for the eyes. They are safer to use and offer greater protection than regular sunglasses. A good pair of kids" ski goggles will also have anti-fogging properties that make it ideal for keeping good visibility during icy wind and snow conditions while your kids are skiing, sledding, or snowboarding.
How to find the perfect kids" ski goggles and kids" snowboard goggles:
"Check out the lens of the goggles. VLT (Visible Light Transmitted) is a measurement of the percentage of light that comes through the goggle lens and reaches the eye. A clear lens may have around 90% VLT and a darker lens might have 10% VLT. It's important to pick a lens with the right VLT based on the conditions that your child will be skiing in. As a rule of thumb, an amber lens is perfect for all snow conditions.
"There are other features about goggles that must be kept in mind. Terrain, activity, and weather are all important factors to consider when you are buying eyewear for skiing in different conditions. For example, if you are going to ski in foggy conditions with low light, choose gold or yellow lenses. These lenses filter out the blue light. This will make it easier for your kids to see bumps on the ski slope.
"The goggles must also offer adequate protection against ultraviolet light, UVA and UVB rays. With advanced technology, you can now get kids" ski and snowboard goggles that provide 100% protection against these harmful rays. The light bounces off this type of lens. Because of this, it is advisable to wear ski goggles even when the day is cloudy.
"Make sure you are buying a pair of goggles with a double lens. Goggles with a single lens are only used for racing and may fog up too much and limit your kids" visibility.
"Make sure that your kids try on the goggles exactly the way they would wear them "" under helmets, over nose guards or by themselves, etc. The goggle should sit flushed with the helmet and not too low on your child"s nose. This way your child can breathe and limit the amount of fogging in the goggle.
"You want to place the goggle on the child"s face not using the strap or helmet. Check for peripheral vision. Determine if your child can see properly from side to side and that the goggle frame does not come to close to the child"s eyes, so they can see your finger to the side of their head.
"The goggle should sit flushed to your child"s face and cheeks. If there is a gap anywhere on the face, air and snow will get in and it will not be effective.
Let your kids enjoy the snow and the slopes without hurting their eyes. Equip them with the right kids" ski goggles and kids" snowboard goggles.
