Spy Goggles

No matter what winter sport you are involved in from downhill skiing to extreme snowboarding you need to protect your eyes. When you are flying down the mountain your eyes are risk of being hit by snow, ice, branches and any number of other types of debris which can seriously injure your eyes or even cause blindness. You should always wear a pair of goggles to protect your eyes. Goggles from Spy and S4 are designed to provide the type of protection your eyes need at speeds that can approach upwards of 100 miles per hour on the slopes. Like the goggles from Spy those offered by S4 offer top quality protection from the number one problem that most skiers and boarders face, damage caused by the UV rays of the sun. Many people are under the mistaken impression that only the summer sun can cause damage to their eyes and skin, but as any seasoned skier knows if you can tan in the winter sun it can also cause damage.

UV rays have been proven to be a leading cause of eye damage and cataracts, to prevent this all goggles manufactured by S4 Optics provide 100% protection from UVA and UVB radiation whether you by clear or tinted lenses. Another big problem faced by those who participate in winter sports that require goggles from Spy or anyone else is fogging. When your goggles fog up you are faced with what can be a very dangerous situation. The fogged over lenses can make it difficult at best or impossible at worst to see where you are going. When you are screaming down the side of the mountain this can lead to a serious or tragic accident if you cannot see the drop offs or obstacles in front of you.

Newbies seem to have far more problems with this as they tend to spend more time falling over and because they are new to the sport they also tend to breathe more heavily. To combat this the goggles from Spy and other manufactures like S4 Optics use techniques like multiple lens and ventilation systems that allow the goggles to breathe and keep a fresh air flow moving through goggles. This air flow is vital in helping to keep the lenses of the goggles fog free making it far safer to go skiing. The goggles that Spy and other companies like S4 Optics are designed around the realization that comfort also plays a big part in whether or not people are going to wear their goggles. The goggles need to provide a wide field of view and the lenses while protecting you from the effects of UV radiation should offer a clear, undistorted view. They should be comfortably padded and be fully adjustable so that you can achieve a snug fit that matches the contours of your face. While you could pay top dollar for goggle from Spy, you can get goggles of equal or better quality from S4 Optics who for the last 20 years has been working with today's leading athletes to create some of ht finest ski goggles on the market at a price everyone can afford.
