Best Snowboard and Ski Goggles for Men

Best Snowboard and Ski Goggles for Men

by Shannen Knight in Sporteyes Blog Posts

Buying new ski goggles isn't complicated, but there are some basic considerations to keep in mind. If you haven't already, read our blog on "Tips for Buying Ski Goggles or Snowboard Goggles" to understand what to look for.

There are so many good snow goggles on the market today, but we’ve narrowed down a handful of our favorites for men.

All of the ski goggles below are shatter-resistant polycarbonate material, provide 100% UV Protection,  and can accommodate prescription inserts.

Bolle Nevada

Best Ski or Snowboard Goggles for Men Bolle Nevada

The Bolle Nevada is one of my favorite goggles for men. I love the sleek look of it and the many lens options. The Phantom lens is photochromic, meaning that it changes from light to dark depending on the conditions. If you ski in very sunny locations, try the Polarized option with the Phantom lens to minimize the glare off the snow. With a wide variety of goggles and lens colors, there is something for everyone here.

Avail in sizes Large and Small.

Julbo Launcher

Julbo Launcher air venting technology

Julbo has worked with professional athletes to develop a unique solution to fogging. Rather than using fans or gels, or sprays to dissipate fog condensation, simply pull the lens out and away from the frame to create a natural airflow. Use when standing in lines or resting on the slope. This high-end goggle only offers light-changing (photochromic) lenses, so you never need to carry extra lenses or face the tough choice of "which goggle should I use today?"

Fits size Large.

Bolle Y7 OTG

Bolle Y7 Black/Phantom Red

If you wear everyday glasses and still want to wear snow goggles, the Bolle Supreme OTG is the perfect choice for you. This goggle has cutouts in the side foam to accommodate most daily wear glasses. Special venting helps minimize fogging.

Fits size Medium/Large.

Smith 4D Mag

Smith 4D Mag Black/Chromapop Everyday Red MIrror

The Smith 4D Mag is a magnetic interchangeable ski goggle, so you can easily swap lenses for different lighting conditions on the fly.  The wide field of view lens gives you vision in all directions. Available in medium, large, and small fits and an alternative nose bridge option for Asian or low fit noses. 

Fits size Medium/Large.

Bolle Cascade

Bolle Cascade Plum Tie & Dye Matte/Sunrise Photochromic

The Cascade by Bolle is a great, basic, all-around goggle. The gold, vermilion, or aurora color lenses all protect from the sun and UV and give contrast to the snow. These are a great budget-friendly option if you only hit the mountain a few times a season. 

Fits size Medium. 

These ski and snowboard goggles can all be found at sporteyes.com- along with a great selection of goggles for women, children, and teens. If you see a lower price elsewhere on an authorized site, let us know, and we'll be happy to price match. Ships from tax-free Oregon.

New Ski Goggles with Built-In Prescription Lenses – No Inserts Needed!

New Ski Goggles with Built-In Prescription Lenses – No Inserts Needed!

Up until now,  skiers and snowboarders who need prescription lenses had to rely on bulky inserts that snapped inside their ski goggles.  Inserts are a great low-cost option for most eyeglass wearers.  However, the common complaints we hear daily from customers are that they are "bulky", fog between the lenses (mostly while stopped or on a lift), or provide a limited field of view.  We get asked daily, "Are there goggles that can have the prescription built into the lens of the goggle?  We are thrilled to finally say "yes" to these customers.  Now there’s a game-changing solution—prescription ski goggles with built-in lenses. A new product has just come out, made by Austrian-based Silhouette Eyewear in their "Evil Eye" sports eyewear line. Evil Eye was created to be the ultimate sports eyewear, having multi-functional glasses that work for a variety of sports and recreation activities.  It is no wonder that a cutting-edge technology brand creates what we've been asking for decades. The Evil Eye E606 Peaklite Ski Goggles eliminate the need for prescription inserts. Available now at A Sight for Sport Eyes, these goggles are designed with prescription lenses built directly into the shield for a seamless, fog-free experience on the slopes. Why Choose Ski Goggles with Built-In Prescription Lenses? Skiers and snowboarders who wear glasses want options other than inserts.  The Evil Eye prescription ski goggles meet the demand for these customers willing to spend on the highest technology available. Key Benefits of Built-In Prescription Ski Goggles: Reduces chance of fogging– Unlike inserts, which can trap moisture between lenses, built-in prescription ski goggles will sit further from the face to allow the body heat to dissipate before reaching the lenses. This can reduce the chance of fogging (note nothing can be considered fog-free--every person's body chemistry is different--though most goggles will stay fog-free while in motion--it is the stopping of the airflow that causes goggles to fog). Wider Field of View– Prescription inserts tend to be flatter and not curve around the face.  With ski goggles with Rx lenses, you get a more seamless prescription lens that curves with the goggle, offering unobstructed peripheral vision. No More Loose or Rattling Inserts– Sometimes, generic clip-in adapters that are not made for a specific goggle don't fit exactly right.  Thus, the adapters that can move around or "jiggle" can be annoying.  These custom Rx ski goggles eliminate that issue. Custom Fit & Comfort– An alternative to snap-in adapters for goggles is wearing OTG or "over the glasses" goggles.  These can be bulky and uncomfortable. Having the prescription built into the goggle provides a streamlined fit without the bulk. Evil Eye E606 Peaklite Ski Goggles – Features & Specifications These prescription snow goggles are designed for serious skiers and snowboarders who want the top-of-the-line prescription ski goggles without the inconvenience of inserts. Product Features: Slim & Lightweight Siliconized Head Strap– Provides a secure, comfortable fit, keeping the goggles in place during dynamic movements. Lens Ventilation System– Enhances airflow to reduce fogging and ensure clear vision in varying weather conditions. Anatomical Face Foam– Contours to the face for a snug fit, enhancing comfort and minimizing pressure points. Replaceable Narrow Strap– Offers versatility and longevity, allowing users to replace the strap as needed. Prescription Lens Integration– Utilizes a cut-out insert technology, where a hole is cut into the ski goggle lens to place the prescription lens. Currently, this is limited to one shield color (though additional lens colors are available, they may not match seamlessly). More colors will hopefully be introduced in the future. Includes Accessories– Comes with a microfiber bag, hard case, and protective box for storage and safety. Important Note: The customization process is conducted overseas and requires 2-3 weeks for production. Are Built-In Prescription Ski Goggles Right for You? While the Evil Eye prescription ski goggles provide superior vision correction, it’s important to consider a few factors: Longer Production Time– Each pair is custom-made, so expect a longer wait time than standard prescription ski goggles with inserts. Higher Cost– The advanced technology and precision optics make them more expensive than traditional insert-based solutions. However, for those who want fog-free, hassle-free, and optically superior ski goggles, built-in prescription ski goggles are a game-changer. Where to Buy Prescription Ski Goggles Without an Adapter? A Sight for Sport Eyes specializes in sports eyewear, and we do our best to stay on the cutting edge of all technology out there. That is why we are proud to offer these new ski goggle options that don't require something that goes inside the goggle. If you’re looking for ski goggles for those wearing spectacles and you don’t want an insert, the Evil Eye E606 Peaklite Ski Goggles are your best option.  They offer a seamless design where the lens is built into the outer shield of the lens.  The lens is large and curved to your face, so it will offer a very wide, unobstructed field of view.  The only downside to this technology is that the lens colors are limited right now, and you have a single lens that is touching the outside air, which, depending on how hot you run, may make the lens fog when you stop or are on a lift.  This technology also has a hefty price tag, so it may not fit everyone's budget. We also have the Snowvision Magnus or the Snowvision  Ottho, which uses similar "cut out" technology.  The difference is that the Snowvision has an internal lens that has the cutout instead of the front lens that the Evil Eye has. The double lens technology on this one may work to combat fog better.  The photochromic (light-changing) lenses change with various light conditions. Thus, one lens will serve you for any condition you ski in.   The downside to this technology is that the lens is more permanently installed. If your prescription changes, you'll need a new shield and have to re-glue the lenses together.  The lens surface is also not as large as the Evil Eye lens.

Final Thoughts: The Future of Prescription Ski Goggles For skiers and snowboarders who wear glasses, prescription ski goggles have come a long way. Until now, prescription inserts were really the only option (with some exceptions of products that didn't last long on the market).  While priced for everyone, inserts have their drawbacks, and there has been consistent demand for something better. With the launch of these new products,  you can finally enjoy custom Rx ski goggles that provide crystal-clear vision, superior comfort, and a hassle-free experience.
