| Why should I use ski goggles? |
Whether you're skiing or
snowboarding, carving up a run gives you that feeling of freedom,
exhilaration, and invincibility that we thrill seekers crave every
moment of the day. But let's be honest, you're not invincible...or
infallible. You wear insulated winter jackets on the mountain to keep
the cold out. You wear winter gloves to keep your fingers and hands warm and loose.
You wear waterproof snow pants to keep you dry and comfortable. Maybe you
wear a helmet to protect the old noggin. But what about protecting your
eyes from the snow, ice, and wind whipping at your face at 50 mph as you fly down
a run?![]() Protection for your eyes is probably the most compelling reason to wear ski goggles. Even when conditions are mild, and wind and snow is light, when you take off down the run, those mild conditions speed up around you. Flying ice and snowflakes bouncing off your eyes can hurt, not to mention block your vision, ruining your run and probably your day. If you've ever tried to board or ski on snowy or icy days...you know what I'm talking about.

| Do Oakley ski goggles fog up? |
|
Fog is your central nemesis when wearing ski goggles, and can be the determining factor between a great pair of goggles and a cruddy pair. When heat and moisture build up in your goggles, while it is cold outside, condensation or fog is created on the lens. Fog blurs and obscures your vision, and basically ruins any benefits the goggles could offer. Thankfully, Oakley has studied the enemy for years, and has loaded their entire line of ski goggles with fog-killing technology that circulates air and prevents fog build-up, keeping your vision clear and crisp. |
| What are the main features and technologies of Oakley Ski Goggles? | ||
| Oakley ski goggles are chock full of the latest and greatest technologies and features to give you the most comfortable feel, secure fit, versatile performance, and visual clarity possible. Their mad scientists and team of athletes test, design, and re-test every development and advancement that goes into their goggles...and everything you'll find in their lines performs flawlessly. | ||
| Oakley Frame Technology: | ||
|
O Matter Frame Material Oakley's proprietary frame and chassis material, O Matter is an incredibly durable, yet flexible material that holds up to all kinds of abuse. Used in goggles and sunglasses, O Matter delivers just the right amount of flexibility to fit comfortably on your face, while still providing the structure you need to keep the lens in place. It also does not lose any flexibility in freezing conditions. |
|
|
|
|
Urethane Frame Material Urethane is a lightweight frame material that flexes and conforms to the contours of the face for a unique and comfortable fit and seal. Its design keeps it flexible even in extremely cold temperatures. |
|
|
Triple Layer Fleece Foam Moisture wicking and incredibly comfortable, Oakley ski goggles feature a triple-layer fleece foam seal to keep out the cold and keep you dry. The fit is so comfortable, you'll never want to take them off. |
|
|
|
Internal Skeletal Support
System Built into the frame and chassis of many Oakley ski goggles, an internal skeletal support system improves the structure of the goggle and reduces pressure on the nose. Its design also helps to maximize airflow to improve comfort and reduce fog. |
|
|
Articulating O Matter Outriggers Strap clips designed to create a balanced fit and improve helmet compatibility, Outriggers work with or without a helmet. When not wearing a helmet, the outriggers create a complete seal across the face by evenly transferring pressure against the nose and brow. If you wear a helmet, the outriggers articulate, so the frame fits into the helmet face, for a balanced, comfortable fit. Made of O Matter material, these outriggers are strong and flexible, for versatile performance. |

Surge Ports Built into the frame, surge ports control airflow through the goggles and vent hot air, to reduce fogging and condensation build up. |
|
|
O Matter Strap An adjustable O Matter strap holds up to abuse and fits comfortably around the head or a helmet. With a silicone backing, the strap has a no-slip grip, so it stays put wherever you leave it. |

|
Interchangeable
Lens System Oakley ski goggles allow you to swap out different lenses to suit changing weather and light conditions. Look for the new "Switchlock" technology in the latest Oakley snow goggles, that makes lens changing faster and easier than ever! |
|
|
Anatomical Fit Developed with 3-D CAD/CAM engineering, each Oakley ski goggle delivers a truly anatomically correct fit that feels incredibly comfortable while maintaining a continuous seal around the face. The fit also helps to wick moisture from the skin, keeping sweat out of your eyes. |
