Looking After Your Eyes

Be safe as well as stylish: you should never ski without sunglasses or goggles, even on overcast days. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet light can cause snow blindness, which may result in permanent damage to your eyes. When you buy sunglasses for the slopes, make sure they are polarised and preferably wrap-around. Never ever ski with glass lenses, always polycarbonate. Goggles are preferable when visibility is poor and for powder or serious bumps skiing. If you wear prescription glasses, look for goggles and sunglasses that accommodate them.

Looking After Your Goggles

How should I clean my lenses?

Always rinse off your lenses with water before wiping or cleaning. Even tiny particles can be abrasive when rubbed across the lens surface. Clean your lenses by using an eyeglass spray or just warm water and a little dishwashing liquid. Never use a liquid cleaner that contains ammonia as this will harm the UV coating. Use a soft, clean cloth to wipe the lenses. Never lay your glasses face down or they may come in contact with something that may scratch the lenses. Storing your eyeglasses in their case when they're not in use always helps to keep them clean.

What can I do about my eyewear fogging up?

We have a few hints:

Do not overdress. Be warm, but not too warm. Take off a few layers until you are comfortable.

Snow. If it is snowing and your goggles begin to fog, check to see if the snow has clogged the vents. If they are covered, the heat cannot escape so do your best to remove the snow.

If your goggles do fog, never wipe them clean. Doing this reduces its effectiveness. Anti-fog treated lenses will heal themselves given time.

Never clean your goggles with glass cleaner.-.it removes the anti-fog coating and only use anti-fog sprays or liquids on your goggles when the factory anti-fog coating has worn off or been removed.

For eyeglass wearers, try putting on the goggles before leaving the indoors since this will prevent the glasses from getting cold. If snow/water gets on your glasses/goggles, blot the water droplets dry with a soft cloth. You can remove them and set them foam side down on your leg so the moisture-laden air can dissipate and the no-fog coating absorb the remaining moisture.

**Please note that although our eyewear has dual anti-fog coating, there is always a possibility that goggles will still fog-up under extreme conditions. **
