The 10 Best Ski Goggles of 2025

Lydia and Amanda wearing some of the best ski goggles around

See good, ski good.

Goggles are often an over-looked piece of gear. But it just takes one day of foggy lenses, insufficient clarity in low-vis conditions, or an uncomfortable fit to convince you to upgrade. Goggles that work just as well on a sunny March day as they do during a blizzard in December are well worth a few extra bucks. We've picked a few of the best ski goggles in our inventory to help make your ski days more comfortable and enjoyable.

Looking for some information on ski goggles?

There's a lot of different tech specs on goggles. Here's a quick guide to get you started.

Spherical vs. cylindrical: Spherical lenses are blown into a spherical shape to closely match the curvature of your eye, ultimately placing less strain on your vision throughout the day. In theory, this shape creates the least amount of distortion for your eyes, while also giving you greater peripheral vision. Cylindrical lenses are stamped out of a sheet of plastic and bent into the shape of your goggle. This shape can allow for very wide fields of vision.

Different lenses: Some goggles will feature a system to change out lenses that work best for different lighting conditions on the mountain. You'll see this represented as VLT (visual light transmission). The lower the number, the less light passed through the lens. Those low VLT lenses appear dark, like sunglasses, preventing light from going through the lens and blinding you (especially with bright white snow on the ground). The higher the number, the more light passed through. These are best for low light conditions when the snow appears flat and it is difficult to see the terrain in front of you. If you deal with variable conditions a lot, consider looking for a google with interchangeable lenses. Not all goggles come with two lenses already. Be sure to read the description to find out what's included.

Helmet and goggle compatibility: Be sure to have a goggle and helmet combination that's compatible. All we're looking for here is a snug fit along the top rim of your goggle to the visor of your helmet. The helmet should also have vents right on top of the visor to help prevent fogging. A good fit between the two will ensure there's no fogging and keeps your face and head more insulated. Nothing feels worse than a biting cold wind hitting your forehead and keeping you from feeling comfortable! Most goggles and helmets work together, but for the best fit, use a goggle and helmet from the same brand.
