Collection: Smith Goggles

Yes, you can wear snow goggles over glasses, but it’s important to choose the right type of goggles for comfort and visibility.


What Are OTG (Over-the-Glasses) Goggles?

OTG goggles are specifically designed to fit over prescription glasses. They have:

• A wider frame to accommodate glasses
• Foam cutouts on the sides to prevent pressure on the temples
• Better ventilation to reduce fogging


How to Prevent Fogging When Wearing Glasses Under Goggles

• Choose goggles with anti-fog coatings and good ventilation
• Use anti-fog wipes or sprays on your glasses
• Make sure there’s enough airflow between your glasses and goggles
• Avoid tucking your face mask inside the goggles, as it traps warm air


Alternative Options

• Prescription goggle inserts – Custom-made lenses that fit inside goggles
• Contact lenses – A hassle-free solution for skiers and snowboarders

A proper fit is essential for comfort, visibility, and protection while skiing or snowboarding. Here’s what to look for when choosing ski goggles.


Key Fit Guidelines

• Snug but Comfortable – Goggles should create a secure seal around your face without pinching or pressure points

To check this seal, put the goggles on and lift your chin so that you are facing the ceiling, in that head back position look down towards the end of your nose. If there is no light coming through the base of the goggles where the foam touches your face then the goggles fit well!

• Full Peripheral Vision – The frame should not obstruct your field of view
• No Gaps Between Goggles and Helmet – A seamless fit with your helmet prevents cold air and snow from getting in
• Adjustable Strap – Should be tight enough to hold goggles in place but not too tight to cause discomfort


Finding the Right Fit

• Small to Medium Fit – Best for smaller faces or youth sizes
• Large Fit – Designed for wider faces and more peripheral vision
• OTG (Over-the-Glasses) Fit – Accommodates prescription glasses

Fogged-up snow goggles can ruin visibility and make skiing more difficult. Here are the best ways to keep your goggles clear on the slopes.


1. Ensure Proper Ventilation

• Make sure your goggles fit well with your helmet without blocking vents
• Avoid covering ventilation holes with a hat or balaclava


2. Keep Goggles Dry and Clean

• Always let goggles air dry after skiing
• Use a microfiber cloth to clean the outside of your lenses—never wipe with gloves or clothing
• Do not wipe the inside of your slese as you can remove the anti fog coating


3. Avoid Overheating

• Don’t put goggles on your forehead or helmet brim, as heat and moisture from your head can cause fogging


4. Use Anti-Fog Treatments

• Apply anti-fog sprays or wipes for extra protection
• If fogging occurs, shake excess moisture out rather than wiping the lens

❄️ How Do I Clean My Snow Goggles?

Shake off snow/dust – Gently tap the goggles to remove any loose snow or debris.

Let them air dry – If the inside lens is foggy or wet, do not wipe it. Let it air dry fully to protect the anti-fog coating.

Rinse the lens (optional) – If there's dried gunk or salty snow, rinse the outer lens with lukewarm water or use a lens-specific cleaner. Avoid soap.

Pat dry with microfiber – Use a clean microfiber cloth to dab the lens dry. Never rub or use paper towels.

Wipe frame & strap – Use a slightly damp cloth to clean around the frame and straps if they're sweaty or dirty.

Store properly – Always keep your goggles in a protective pouch or case when not in use.
