Ski wear?????????

Question

I'm looking to buy ski goggles and gloves, does anyone have any favorite brands and what is so good about these brands??

Answer 1

Oakley Wisdom Goggle - High Intensity Lens. An eye bunker for ice storms, the Oakley Wisdom Goggle's amplified lens dimensions extend the range of peripheral and downward vision. A High Intensity lens increases contrast in snowy or overcast conditions for improved visibilit.

Reusch Samurai Grand Slalom Ski Glove. Made for professional and semi-professional racers, the Reusch Samurai Grand Slalom Ski Gloves are worn by some of the fastest skiers on the planet. High-tech design and a streamlined profile help you push your adrenaline when you're screaming down a sheet of sheer ice. Padded knuckles, fingers and sides protect your hands from bashing the gates when you're carving hard turns at speed. Reusch packed the Samurai Gloves with low-bulk Thinsulate insulation, so your hands don't go numb while waiting your turn.:-)

Answer 2

I live in Alaska, and regardless of the brand, I like goggles with yellow lenses for when the light is bad because of clouds or snow. Dragon goggles are pretty good, but don't waste a lot of money on a brand, go online and save yourself a bunch of money by shopping around.

Answer 3

The only thing I can really tell you here is that I bought a Smith brand ski goggle (goggles?) that had a double-layer lens. The package said they would not fog over because of that. I paid 10 bucks extra for that over the single-layer version.

They fog over every time I wear them.

They say no cotton only because if it gets wet, it'll take ages to dry. But hey, I still wear cotton all the time. Truthfully, you don't have to go crazy with dressing up...I throw on my snow pants over my pajama pants, and get on a t shirt and hoodie for under my jacket and I'm fine. If you really wanna fine tune what your wearing though, you should have a non-cotton base layer (under armour), a non-cotton shell over that, and your waterproof jacket on top of that. This way, when you get too hot (because you will with these layers on), you can shed off the shell or base layer. However, don't sweat it (pun unintended), I've snowboarded in clothes much less proficient than that. It really depends on the type of conditions you're riding in too. If it's a freezing cold, windy day and it's snowing I would go for the non-cotton set up. But if its a normal mid-20 degrees day, just wear a comfy t shirt and sweatshirt under your jacket, and wear anything from long underwear to sweatpants under your snow pants. Hope this helped! Have fun for sure.

Answer 5

im a snowboarder, not a skiier but spy, and dragon goggles are very good. They have many different frames and lense to choose from ranging from light gray or yellow to dark purple. (depends on where you ski and what the weathers like) They are very fashionable too..heh, gore tex gloves are good to keep you warm and keep the wettness and wind out, i heard that bon fire is pretty good too.

Answer 6

Scott USA also makes awesome goggles.

For gloves, I would go with Columbia, North Face, Mountain Hardwear or Patagonia... all four companies are dependable, make good gear, and stand by their name.

Answer 7

Oakley, or Smith goggles work the best. My favorite gloves are Reusch gloves. They are SPENDY.
