Protecting your children's eyes
Protecting your children's eyes is the most important and most overlooked ski and snowboard safety precaution. Youth ski and snowboard goggles are one of the most essential items your kids and teens need to wear when venturing on the slopes. Children's ski goggles serve a dual purpose in protecting your kid's eyes. One reason your children should wear junior ski goggles is to protect their eyes from UVA and UVB sunrays. These rays are especially harsh in snow conditions because they reflect off the snow.
The second reason to wear goggles is to protect your child's eyes from objects. Your kids and teens will take a good fall on the slopes and when they do they need toddler ski goggles or teen ski goggles to protect their eyes from ski poles, skis, ice chunks, and their own flailing bodies. Sun glasses do not provide adequate protection, so don't be fooled into thinking sunglasses are an equivalent to junior ski goggles for youths.

Key Elements to Look for when Choosing Kids Ski Goggles
When choosing ski and snowboard goggles for children and teens, be aware of a few key elements that should be present in the children's ski goggles you pick. The goggles should be contoured to fit the face correctly, be helmet compatible if the child wears a helmet, protect against both UVA and UVB sun rays, have double lenses, and have anti-fog lenses.
Kids ski goggles need to be contoured to fit a child's face well. The curvature of the frame as well as the lenses should fit the face and sit flush against the skin. This allows for a comfortable feel and will keep the cold wind from penetrating the eye area. If a helmet is being worn, make sure that the goggles are helmet compatible. Youth ski goggles that are helmet compatible have a longer strap to fit around the helmet and are designed to fit snugly and flush with the helmet so the face is protected from the cold.
The quality of the lenses in kids' ski and snowboard goggles is very important as well. As previously mentioned, the lenses must be UVA and UVB protective to ensure the safety of the eyes while skiing or snowboarding. Double lenses give added protection during falls and also inhibit the lenses from fogging up. With double lenses, one lens is exposed to the elements and the other is next to the skin with a slight separation between the two. The separation is key in kids' ski goggles because it does not allow the heat or cold to transfer easily between the lenses thus reduces fogging. Venting and anti-fog coating are other elements which reduce the chance of fogged children's ski goggles.
Following these key elements and suggestions will ensure that all kids and teens from ages 2-16 have protected eyes, great fitting junior ski goggles designed for youths, and clear lenses to enjoy a day on the slopes.
