How to choose ski goggles?

The main winter entertainment is skiing. It's wonderful - on a sunny, clear day to descend the sparkling snowy slope from the mountain, enjoying the fresh air and wonderful nature around. But few people think that skiing in the winter, we do not replenish our health reserves, but, on the contrary, sometimes we lose it. Especially when we forget that ski goggles are a necessary attribute of a good rest in nature. They will protect our eyes from bright light, strong Wind, beating snow in the face, and sometimes from the branches of trees and from the sharp tip of ski poles. Ski mask will protect your eyes from eye burn, the so-called "mountain blindness".

Do not forget about the possibility of a side scan. After all, glasses are worn not only by skiers, but also by snowboarders, for whom a broad view is very important.

It is necessary to pay attention to the presence in the ski mask of ventilation ducts or openings, so that the air under the mask does not accumulate, but well ventilated. Such channels are usually placed along the entire perimeter or from above.

If you are a real mountain skier, then you definitely have a helmet. So, you need to try on ski goggles only with him and pick them up so that the mask is easy to put on a helmet, but, at the same time, snugly and did not fly off your face. Adjust the glasses will help the belt, which is usually well regulated, stretched and fixed.

For those who have poor eyesight, ski glasses should be chosen so that it is possible to place corrective lenses. Skiers with good eyesight, double polycarbonate lenses are inserted into the ski masks. Such material is not scratched, does not break, it protects well from ultraviolet rays and the glare in the snow is weakened.

To reduce the distortion of vision in masks used lenses of different thicknesses. But before you buy ski goggles, you must definitely check - whether they accurately reflect the surrounding objects. This is easily seen if you look at a tree, a bench or something else through glasses, removed from the eyes by 30-40 cm.

The color of these lenses can be different, because each of them is designed for certain weather conditions. It is best to buy glasses with golden, amber or yellow lenses. They perfectly neutralize the sunlight reflected from the snow, they are comfortable in foggy or cloudy weather. Dark lenses are usually used for very bright and active M sun, and colorless - for skating at night.

If you want to buy ski glasses, pay attention to the fact that they should reflect more than 95% of the sun's rays. In the highlands, ultraviolet is reflected even from stones, and in bad weather its strength does not change. Especially the danger of eye burn is higher at an altitude of more than 2 kilometers. For skating at this height, glasses of the 4th category are used.

Different lenses have different purposes, and, therefore, you need to have two masks or a mask with a set of different lenses. And then skiing from the mountains will bring real pleasure! Although keeping an eye in winter is even in your spare time.
