Ski Goggles

Hi everyone,
Hope you can help! up until last year I have not used goggles but having tried a pair of Smith's I am thinking of buying some. Any advice on what I should be looking for? Any makes that are good and ones to avoid please. My budget is upto £100.
Many thanks John
Ps looking forward to renewing friendships and meeting new ones. All the best to everyone for a great season.

Whatever you do John try them on with your helmet to make sure they fit

Hi John,
I would agree with Tom, just bought some Bolle glasses with prescription inserts from the same company. They will also price match if you can genuinely find the same goggles cheaper.

re:Ski Goggles

Hi John 2nd emjay's comment to try on with your helmet if possible, there should be a close fit between the top pf the goggles and front of helmet to stop a blast of cold air on your forehead

My combo Anon Hawkeye / Giro G10 - goggles £95 - nice fit no gaps or misting problems to date, first pair foam split apart on seam, plus replaceable lenses available for £30

Cheers Danny

re:Ski Goggles

Sorry re-reading my earlier post, it should say the pair that split were not Anons, but Bolle, however these were some 5 years old and had very good wear
