Snowboarding goggles are a very important part of a snowboarders gear.
They protect your eyes from the deceptively strong UV rays of the sun.Even though
temperatures vary from zero and below, the sun is still very powerful.
The combination of high altitude and the reflection of the snow causes sunrays
to hit you much harder during snowboarding. They also protect you from thrown up ice
and snow. And if you are off piste snowboarding, they protect your eyes from
any tree branches.They are many types of lens:
Black/Polarized: reduce glare without distorting colours making them suitable for bright sunny conditions. At the end of the day they might be too dark.
Green/Silver: Enhances contrast making them suitable for most brighter conditions.
Yellow/Amber/Gold Lenses: filter out blue light and bring out shadows making them suitable for most conditions and especially in low to moderate light.
Purple/Rose: best used for low-light conditions as it brings out shadows and contours.
Clear Lenses: is best used for dark conditions such as sunset or cloudy conditions.
Make sure that the lenses of the goggles have had anti fogging treatment. Vents on
the top and bottom of the goggles create ventilation which can prevent fogging up.
When selecting goggles ensure you can see clearly out of them and they don't interfere with
your helmet if you wear one. And finally make sure they are a snug and comfortable fit
A helmet is another vital piece of snowboarding equipment. Helmets are becoming more
popular as snowboarders awareness of safety is increased. When selecting a helmet use
the following guidelines:
Put the helmet on and align the front of the helmet above your eyebrows and hold both straps until the helmet fits well.
Make sure there are no unwanted gaps between the helmet lining and your head. In addition, make sure the back of the helmet does not touches the back of your neck.
The helmet should fit snug and nicely and when shaking ones head should not move.
Put on your goggles and make sure they fit over the helmet without any problems
