Women's specific fit goggles often have less volume over the bridge of the nose to reduce excess space for snow and wind to enter. The frame will also be a little smaller than a standard-sized adult goggle.

Children's goggles are less bulky and fit closer to the face. They are usually simplified to reduce the cost and keep them robust.

O.T.G (Over The Glasses)

Oversized goggles, appearing to be frameless in some cases, have also grown in popularity. They give exceptional peripheral vision for greater awareness on the slope and come in both female and unisex fits.

Spherical lenses curve equally along the horizontal and vertical axis which results in a slight ‘bubble’ look. The increased volume allows for more airflow to reduce fogging and the curvature of the lens provides a more optically correct visual. 

Toric lenses are the latest addition to the goggle world, they’re a best-of-both-worlds option that takes features from both spherical and cylindrical lenses to create optimum visuals. The curvature follows that of an eyeball, keeping a true spherical curve horizontally across the X axis, with a slightly flatter curve vertically along the Y axis. They’re deliberately shaped to reduce glare points and avoid distortion for top-of-the-range performance. 

All but our very basic junior goggles use a double-layered lens, made up of two separate layers with a rubber or silicone seal to separate them. The double layer acts like double glazing in a house, trapping heat and reducing the chances of the goggles fogging up, especially when combined with an anti-fog treatment.

Several goggle brands have been developing specialty lenses to give riders increased protection and better vision in the conditions they’re likely to face in the mountains. 

Some goggles come with two easily changeable lenses as part of a package, allowing you to tune your goggles depending on the conditions. One lens is normally best suited for when it's bright and the other for flat light and darker conditions.
