Features

Goggles come in many shapes and sizes. Below is a checklist of things to look out for. *
Vents in the goggles allow fresh air to circulate inside, which will reduce fogging and provide fresh air for your eyes. Bigger vents provide more air, but also allow more cold inside. * Make sure you have 180-degree peripheral vision. * All of the foam inside of your goggles should cover and comfortably fit over all pressure points on your face. * It's always important to look for compatibility with other equipment (including helmets). * Make sure the strap is adjustable and feels comfortable on your head. * Look for lots of interior padding. When you fall on your face, this will prevent the goggles from becoming embedded in your head. * You want a snug fit. Poor fitting goggles could flip or lift off your face when you hit bumps.

Lenses

Many goggles have UV protection. Lens color is also a serious consideration, that deals more with function than style. Specific lens colors are better suited for specific light conditions.

Goggle Maintenance

Almost as important as picking out the pair of goggles that's right for you is taking care of them and storing them properly. Follow the tips below. * When not using, store your goggles in a protective pouch to avoid the accumulation of dust. * To clean your goggles, use a microfiber cloth and fresh water. Using paper products can cause scratching to the lenses. * Wiping down or cleaning off your goggles is fine for the outside of the lens, but cleaning the inside might affect the anti-fog coating. If they get wet on the inside, let goggles air dry. * When putting your goggles down, place them lens side up. *
