Whether you prefer goggles (alone or over eyeglasses) sunglasses, or prescription sunglasses, comfort is paramount when it comes to performance eyewear for skiing—the better your eyewear fits, the more likely you are to wear it. Protective eyewear is crucial while shredding snowy mountain top trails, and the best ski goggles fit well without slipping or pinching. Look for styles with adjustable head straps, foam linings, and moisture-wicking materials so your goggles fit better, and shield your vision from harsh wind and snow.
In most cases, goggles are the safest and best choice when it comes to skiing eyewear. This is due to the fact that the majority of glasses are untinted, will not shield your eyes from wind or snow, and are also likely to break if you fall. Ski goggles are specifically designed to provide reliable, fog-free wear that easily protects your eyes while you shred. If you need prescription eyewear to see, we recommend opting for goggles that are designed to accommodate your eyeglasses underneath.
No. Many professional and amateur skiers choose to wear sunglasses instead of goggles in certain conditions. However, goggles are always the safest and most comfortable bet when taking to the slopes, as their features allow for the clearest field of view along with optimal protection for your eyes. Plus, you can avoid fogged-up lenses and your frames shifting in the wind by wearing a securely fastened pair of goggles on the mountain.

In some cases, yes. Trusted brands like Oakley and Von Zipper make goggles specifically designed to accommodate a pair of eyeglasses worn underneath.
