Scott Ski Goggles By Kakoa on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
When I was going to go skiing for the first time, I wasn't sure what I really needed and what was just over the top when it came to equipment. My brother had told me I should really get some goggles. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, but I didn't want them to be huge and ugly.
I found these Scott goggles on sale and decided to try them. They said they had vents on the top and bottom of the goggles to help prevent fog and condensation and circulate fresh air to your face. I found NONE of them to be true!
These goggles did stay fog free for about the first hour of our first day. After that, they would start fogging as soon as I put them over my eyes. I even tried the whole diving mask trick of spitting in them, but that did no good. I ended up wearing them on my hat the whole rest of the time.
I never felt fresh air circulating through the goggles. This was fine with me though because it was cold outside. I would put them over my face every now and then just to keep the wind from burning my eyes. They did a really good job at that at least.
I bought the pair that had a red tint to the lenses because it said it would cut the glare and blinding white of the snow. Well, yes that was true, but it turned everything red! When I ski, I don't want to see everything red, I want to see the beauty of the slopes! I later found out that the lens pops in and out, but if you're not very careful it will snap at on of the attachment points.
I would recommend wearing goggles to ski in, but definitely not these! Stick to the clear lenses too!

LOL, I'm with you...who wants to see RED snow, yuck! Thanks for the heads up on this product too...it sounds like a brand to steer clear of.
So you got the oppertunity to see the world through rose colored goggles and it wasn't all that, LOL. I try the spitting trick in swim goggles all the time and it never works for me there either. Sorry you were disappointed.
This is good information. Guess one should not get cheap goggles. A product called Cat Crap will keep them from fogging though.
Cat Crap works??? Great info Sharkey! I thought it was a joke product LOL!~!!
That is too bad you didn't have good luck with these goggles. It is a very important accessory to have while skiing.
How frustrating that after an hour your goggles kept fogging up...that takes away from the fun of skiing. I'm glad you suggested clear instead of the red lenses!!
I think it would bother me to see everything in red as well. Iwould also want to look at the pretty white slopes and what waste that they fogged up. Thanks for giving us the heads up!
If they are going to make goggles that fog up why bother putting in see through lenses? Might as well just wear a sleep mask on the slope! ;-)
lol. That would be funny to see everything in red. That doesn't make sense to me. Sorry these didn't work out for you. =-)
I'm sorry you had such a bad experience . Thank you for being so honest . I think that is so important that people will tell of their bad products as well as good .Thanks
