The Best Ski Goggles of 2026

While 100% might not be considered a household name for many skiers, the brand has been building gear since the 1980s and the Norg goggle packs a performance punch, along with a touch of high-octane style. The dual-pane lens filters out distinct wavelengths to enhance detail while anti-fog, hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings ensure your vision stays crystal clear. The Norg’s lens-change system uses eight magnetic touchpoints for quick and secure swaps on the hill while the flexible frame employs multiple layers of foam and moisture-wicking micro-fleece to ensure a comfortable fit.

Positioned as the brand’s premium snow offering, the Snowcraft goggle features a proprietary lens technology that filters out unnecessary color wavelengths to enhance contrast and keep the eyes from fatiguing in flat light. Arguably the most versatile goggle in the brand’s lineup, 100% offers the Snowcraft in a regular frame, an XL frame, as well as an alternative fit where extra foam is placed on the nose to close the gap. One step further, the lenses are interchangeable between the regular and XL frames, and both frames fit comfortably over prescription glasses.

Beyond shielding from wind and snow, goggles protect our precious eyeballs from other hazards like tree branches and invisible UV rays. With the Valnor from 100%, you can count on dependable protection from the goggle’s shatter-proof lens. Additionally, the flexible frame and multi-layered foam lining harp on comfort, because at the end of the day, if your goggles don’t fit right, you’re not going to wear them. To take that a step further, 100% offers the Valnor in two sizes: regular and low bridge fit. If you tend to get a gap between your goggles and your nose, the low-bridge fit uses extra foam to eliminate any draft.

The M6 goggle features a large cylindrical lens on a low-profile frame that’s designed for medium-to-large faces. The lenses are engineered to reduce peripheral distortion while delivering the high-contrast vision that skiers need on a daily basis. Anon’s magnetic lens-change system is one of, if not the, best in the game and the included face mask also attaches to the bottom of the frame via magnets. Of course, the M6 comes with all of the bells and whistles you’d expect from a top-shelf goggle, including anti-fog treatment, full-perimeter venting and moisture-wicking face foam.

Designed in collaboration with Amie Engerbretson, this Four Q L Signature goggle features an oversized, cylindrical double lens with anti-scratch and anti-fog treatments. The goggle comes with a spare lens and the magnetic lens-change system is easily actuated by buttons on the top and bottom of the frame. Underneath, triple-layer foam molds to your face and gives you a perfectly snug fit, right out of the box, ensuring that when the snow flies, you’ll be ready to pounce.

With timeless styling and performance that skiers have come to count on, the Method has been one of Giro’s best sellers for years. It features an injection-molded, cylindrical VIVID lens that offers less distortion than thermo-formed lenses and comes with a scratch-resistant finish. New this year is a quick-change lens system that utilizes post mechanisms that lock securely into the frame. This adds a nice bit of security in the event of a hard fall, when a magnet-only solution may fail. The Method’s venting system uses non-absorbent foam vents that release moisture while keeping the elements out.

The Vitrea is an oversized goggle with a frame that extends further down your cheek to provide an extra-large field of view. To complement the frame design, POC’s toric lenses are angled to provide excellent lower-periphery vision. When you  combine these, the result is a noticeably larger window to the world. Of course, you never know what Mother Nature might throw at you, so a double-locking, quick-change lens system allows you to swap out lenses without having to take the goggles off—even with gloves on.

The heart of the Effect goggle is its Lucent photochromic lens, which smoothly shifts from 68- to 14-percent VLT, depending on the light, making it highly versatile in a variety conditions. But Pret didn’t stop there. The Effect also comes with a mega low-light lens—the Lucent Storm—that you can put to use when Ullr really turns it on, and a magnetic system makes swapping lenses easy. The cylindrical shape pairs cleanly with Pret helmets and offers wide, unobstructed vision, while triple-layer foam makes for a comfortable, secure fit. Pret’s attention to airflow shows up here too, with seamless helmet integration that keeps fogging to a minimum.

The Sentry Pro Sigma brings a sleek, cylindrical design that hugs the curvature of your face to provide a massive field of view. Salomon’s Sigma lens sharpens contrast and definition, allowing you to pick up subtle terrain changes, even when the light is flat. The plush, triple-layer foam adapts to your face for an anatomical fit that works across different shapes and sizes, while a mechanical, quick-switch system makes swapping lenses hassle-free. With eight fresh colorways, the Sentry Pro Sigma not only complements your kit but also keeps your vision sharp when the weather turns ugly.

With a minimalist design and a top-of-the-line lens, the Ambit goggle sits close to the face to deliver a wide field of view. Behind the frame, three layers of molded face foam sit flush against the skin to absorb moisture and keep sweat out of your eyes. Scott’s Amplifier lens enhances color and contrast to help you navigate the mountain in low-light conditions and an extra-wide silicone strap keeps everything secure on your noggin. Available in a variety of styles to match your kit.

The newly designed Preview goggle features Smith’s BirdsEye Vision, which means the bottom of the lens curves down and in toward your face for a 25-percent increase of the overall field of view when compared to Smith’s standard spherical lenses. You won’t find a lens-change system here as the goggle features a fixed lens with ChromaPop, which filters light to deliver better definition, clarity and more natural color recognition. This medium-fitting goggle also features an anti-fog treatment, triple-layer face foam to wick moisture and an ultra-wide, silicone-backed adjustable strap.

Sweet Protection designed the Boondock goggle for small- to medium-sized faces and skiers who want nothing but high performance in a minimalist design. The semi-frameless goggle hugs tightly to your face and combines a low-profile fit with a large field of vision. The lens enhances contrast by amplifying wavelengths that improve definition and reducing those that cause color distortion and eye fatigue. The lens and strap are thicker than average, ensuring durability and longevity, in addition to the clean style.
