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 (to fit your child's helmet), protect against both UVA and UVB sun rays, have double lenses, and last, but not least--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.
