Things You'll Need:
- Your helmet or headgear
-
Step 1
Bring your helmet or the headgear your normally wear when snowboarding, and go to your local sporting goods retailer. Make sure it is a location that sells goggles that are specifically designed for winter wear.
-
Step 2
Try several pairs of snowboarding goggles on, wearing them over your headgear. This is how you will be wearing them when you are snowboarding, so it is important to make sure that the goggles fit over your headgear while also fitting firmly against your face.
-
Step 3
Check the sides of the goggles for vents. Vents are often made of a foam material. They are important because they need to allow enough airflow to prevent your snowboarding goggles from fogging up, but no so much that your eyes dry out.
-
Step 4
Buy goggles with double lenses if you don't mind spending extra money. These operate somewhat like a double pane window in terms of creating a temperature barrier. Having double lenses helps remove any possibility of your goggles fogging, regardless of weather conditions.
-
Step 5
Stick to your budget. Snowboarding goggles cost anywhere from $15 to $150 per pair, so they can usually be found to match any budget.
