Goggles or shades on the slope?

only actually been boarding on a mountain once.... done loads of times at milton keynes...

anyway last year in switz i wore goggles (nice oakley ones i bought) cause it snowed most days...

doesnt look like its snowing much during the day in boro so should i wear goggles or just shades?

bear in mind there not cheapo shade though...

re: Goggles or shades on the slope?

do a search for goggles on this board and you will find some more answers but i think as you say, people use goggles when its foggy / snowing and sunnies other times. Although I dont think theres any problem wearing goggles all the time as long as they're tinted.

You could just try and find some cheap shades?

I've ordered some off ebay shops but obviously im not sure of the fitment or quality but they were only a few quid, shipped from the US.

I wore expensive shades boardind last year in Switz. They only came off once and that was cause I bailed and landing on my face. Found them and no damage.

You can get cords that fix them to your head quite cheap

I recomend that you wear cucumbers with small slits in them as this will both protect and soothe your eyes.

You could also try 3D glasses, safety specs or wooden glasses as these do not harm the environment.
