Ed Hardy Ski Goggles: Review

Filed Under Designer Sunglasses, Eyewear Knowledge, Fun with Eyewear 



This year I got a pair of Ed Hardy women’s ski goggles from Smart Buy Glasses. Since I spent the winter in Whistler, BC, Canada, I thought I’d write up a review for the goggles that kept me safe on some of the world’s harshest slopes.
Vision: the snug fit of the Ed Hardy goggles made it possible for me to wear them all day long on the slopes with my Clearvision contacts in, little to no air penetrated the goggles and they did not fog up on the interior—which has happened to me before with rental goggles or generic cheaper equipment common on lesser slopes. Whistler is no place to be cheap. Since the mountain was fit for the Olympics, it is surely deserving of top-quality eyewear.
Tint: the Ed Hardy ski goggles come with an extra pair of lenses (pop in) that are orange tinted. My second day on the slopes of Whistler a storm rolled in that included all the worst conditions for skiing including fog, sleet, low-visibility and summit snow. The orange tinted lenses popped in quickly while I was on the ski lift, and increased contrast so I could see the minor changes on the slope fractions of a second faste, saving me countless wipeouts.
Fog: Anti moisture coatings (water proofing) made it possible for me to ski in the fog, sleet and snow that varied across the dual mountains of Whistler/Blackcomb.
Style: many snowboarders maintain that skiers are simply not as cool or chic as their snowboarding counterparts. This is downright ridiculous. Skiing takes a lot more skill, more muscle control and the end wow factor is a bit higher. Ed Hardy goggles on a skier should not be out of place, but sadly many skiers think they can’t wear cool gear while on skis. This is erroneous! Bring the cool back to skiing with Ed Hardy next winter, as this reviewer gives their goggles two thumbs up for style and performance-enhancing attributes.

    Oakley ski goggles are well-known for its quality and top of the line
    snowboarding protective eye wear. Available in various designs and
    colors that fit your requirements, its best features are well-advanced
    in terms of technology and function. Because of these, many prefer to
    use this type of snow gear for the eyes
