Ski goggles
Maintenance
and Storage
Care instructions
Ski goggles are a pair of protective eyewear that are subjected to harsh conditions: extreme cold, damp and sudden changes in temperature. To ensure they retain their performance season after season, there are a few habits you should get into — both when using them and when storing them.
Dual-lenses
Dual-lenses (Alpha1) offer superior optical performance, but require special care in damp weather. Such conditions naturally lead to condensation forming between the two lenses. A few simple steps are all it takes to prevent this.
During
the session
01
High
body temperature
Do not place your goggles on your helmet or hat immediately after a run. If your helmet or hat is damp — particularly in snowy or rainy weather — the dampness will seep directly into the foam padding.
02
Gondola lifts,
Cable cars
Open the windows.
It’s the simplest way to quickly get rid of the moisture that has built up whilst exercising.
03
If the lens fog up
Don’t panic. Remove the lens and give it a shake for a few moments in the open air. That’s usually enough to sort the problem out.
04
Bad weather
Regularly remove any snow and water that accumulates on the goggle’s foam pads. Foam that is saturated with moisture accelerates condensation.
After the session:
drying
This is the most important step, and the one most often overlooked. It is essential to allow your goggles to dry and to store them in a dry place after a day in the snow or rain.
For best results: remove the lens from the goggles and leave them to dry separately, in the open air, laid flat with the inside facing downwards. This position helps any residual moisture to evaporate naturally.
