Prescription ski and snowboarding goggles from RX Sport

Nov. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- With the Ski season about to start, how do you go about finding suitable ski goggles or glasses to replace standard glasses or contact lenses on the slopes? RX Sport, the sports eyewear specialists, stock a huge range of prescription ski and snowboarding goggles in a variety of styles from leading brands. New season models are now being stocked in the Smith, Adidas and Bolle goggles ranges.

Around 60% of the UK population is thought to need glasses, making prescription ski goggles as essential at item of kit as saloppetes or gloves. While it is possible to wear glasses underneath goggles, contact lenses can become uncomfortable at altitude. Glasses themselves are inherently fragile so can become easily damaged or broken on the slopes which can lead to further problems when visibility is hindered. Wearing glasses with standard ski goggles also fails to provide the precision and comfort that prescription ski goggles afford. In a sport where performance is all important, prescription goggles can be a real advantage.

Prescription goggles can be achieved through a variety of different solutions. The most preferable is to have direct in-frame prescription lenses. If this is not possible for any reason, there are a number of alternatives, for example prescription inserts, or clip-ins. A great example of direct in-frame prescription goggles is the Adidas ID2 Prescription Ski goggles range. Winner of both a red dot and boardsports award in 2008, they are the serious choice for athletes. Packed full of technology, they are assured to fit perfectly and ensure fog free vision.

Bolle prescription goggles are fitted with an optical prescription adapter and make full use of the brand’s 100 years of experience. Unique features include their Forestay outrigger system and the Equalizer ventilation system - the result is distortion and fog free vision at any altitude. Bolle Quasar Prescription Ski Goggles feature spherical lenses for unimpeded vision and are high-performance eyewear loaded with tech features such as anti scratch / anti fog coated P80 carbo glass and flow tech venting.

James Coakley from RX Sport said, “It’s surprising how many enthusiastic skiers and boarders hit the slopes without prescription eyewear. A prescription ski goggle can make a huge difference to the entire sporting experience and can enhance performance and give increased comfort. There’s also a greater than ever range of styles and brands to choose from with dozens of colourways and styles.”
