When trying out the goggles, take some time to properly adjust the strap. If you can’t adjust it or the buckle won’t stay the way you adjust it, look for a different pair. It’s also a smart thing to bring your helmet with you so you can make sure the goggles will fit with it. The best buckles are soft, rubber ones. They are more comfortable because they won’t dig into your skull. Also, the wider strap means more comfort.
Good goggles should have foam cushioning that will keep the dirt, snow, and wind out. The best foam will be dense enough to keep your face cushioned in case of fall, but not too dense. If your cheekbones are high or your nose bridge shallow, you might want to consider the “Asian fit” goggles. If you happen to be wearing glasses, make sure that they will fit inside the goggles. In some optic stores, you can even order prescription inserts that you can put in your goggles so you don’t have to wear glasses. Not all goggles can accept the prescription inserts, but your optician should know which ones can.
