The problems with traditional forms of eyewear in winter sports

Dec. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Winter sports and in particular skiing and snowboarding rely very heavily on equipment such as ski goggles. Unfortunately for those individuals who require day to day eyewear such as glasses or contact lenses, winter sports can prove to be a particular problem. This is because ski goggles are such a necessity and performance aid for those who partake in the sport. However wearing goggles alongside traditional forms of eyewear can cause problems, and also reduce the effectiveness and the performance benefits that are provided by goggles. Thankfully RxSport provides a wide range of prescription ski goggles, giving the performance benefits associated with ski goggles without the problems that traditional forms of eyewear bring to the table.

One of the biggest concerns stemming from wearing glasses with goggles is that this can lead to significant fogging. Fogging can lead to poor visibility and actually make the goggles extremely ineffective. With custom designed prescription goggles, fogging is no longer an issue. The Adidas ID2 Pure is an excellent example of prescription goggles’ ability to deliver clear vision without being compromised. Thanks to their anti-fog decentred Vision Advantage Polycarbonate lens and ventilation system, the Adidas Yodai goggles guarantee perfect vision on the slopes.

In addition, RxSport coat all of their prescription inserts with an anti-fog solution prior to despatch, and include a free ‘Fog Tech Anti Fog Towelette’ with every order of prescription ski goggles.

Though they pose fewer problems than glasses do, contacts can also be less than ideal when combined with regular ski or snowboard goggles. In the cold and dry mountain air contacts can dry out extremely quickly, causing irritation and poor vision so prescription goggles again need to be considered.

As well as prescription ski goggles with inserts, RxSport also offer a wide range of prescription sunglasses for skiing. From the Adidas Elevation Climacool, which also works with inserts, through to the directly glazed Oakley Jawbone prescription sunglasses.
