9 best points for skiing and snowboarding with Aliexpress

Ski goggles are an important component of equipment for all lovers of descent along the snowy slopes, ranging from beginners to professional sportsmen. Of course, in theory, you can ride without them, but, as practice shows, nothing good comes of it. And the matter is not even in security (unfortunately, many people remember it in the least), but in the banal convenience. After all, the vast majority of people come to the slopes for the sake of positive emotions. But when the wind is constantly blowing into the eyes, the sun is shining or the snow and ice chips strive to fall, it is very difficult to enjoy the process.

Therefore, for all those who are going to try skiing or snowboarding, there is no question: do you need glasses or not. Here there is a completely different problem - how to choose the most suitable model for yourself. In this ranking, we collected 9 of the best options available on AliExpress. But before buying the equipment you like, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with a couple of tips: they will help you make the right choice.

1. The most important part of the glasses are the lenses. They differ in color, material and type, and all characteristics are significant in their own way. So, each color is designed for specific weather conditions, but dark shades (black, gray, gold) are more popular among riders. They are focused on sunny and cloudy weather, in which most non-professionals prefer to skate. The most optimal material for lenses is polycarbonate, because it best protects against shocks and mechanical stress.
2. Today, it is almost imperative for any glasses model (including budget) to have 100% UV protection (they are marked with UV 400) and an anti-fog coating (eliminates the problem of lens fogging). The presence of other functions (advanced ventilation system, location tracking via GPS, video camera, etc.) will undoubtedly be a plus, but you can also do without them.
3. Choosing glasses for snowboarding, you need to look for options with a wide viewing angle, since this type of winter entertainment is more demanding to have good lateral vision.

5 MAX JULI BNC

Below in the review will be mentioned points GOG-201 Pro from COPOZZ. So, MAX JULI BNC looks almost like a complete copy of them (or vice versa, it’s difficult to determine exactly, most likely, both companies were inspired by some European brand). However, it is quite difficult to blame them for it - the mask looks quite elegant and at the same time has all the characteristics required from this segment. Judge for yourself: Anti-fog coating, 100% UV protection, interchangeable lenses and straps (you can order several types of components and combine them depending on the external conditions), compatibility with ordinary glasses for sight (there are special notches for easy dressing - this the function is marked with the designation OTG). The lenses have a spherical shape, so that the natural breadth of the review is limited to a minimum (which will especially appeal to riders on snowboards).A fly in the list of praise is not the best frost resistance (some misting is already observed at -20 ° C).

4 NANDN NG3

NANDN decided to make a bid for the widest range of color solutions. At the time of the ranking, 13 variations of frames and lenses were available, and there are about 20 of them. The choice’s wealth is, in general, the main advantage of this model. For the rest of the declared functions (ventilation, 100% UV protection, anti-tumanka, OTG compatibility, removable straps and lenses), there are no serious complaints from buyers, but there is also no technical revelation on the background of cheaper analogues of competitors. Interesting except that the smallest width (165 mm) of all the points presented in the category. For this reason, in theory they should not look too huge on a person and hide half of their faces, but in practice it is very difficult to see the difference.

3 VECTOR HB 108

HB 108 from the company VECTOR is an excellent choice for those who appreciate wearing glasses not only ergonomics and reliability in use (although there are no particular complaints about these features either), but also their appearance. At first glance, a completely uncomplicated futuristic design with a mirror-coated lens in reality looks cool and stylish, and their dark blue version, combined with some suitable helmet, will also fit to cut snow on skiing, and at the same time it will be appropriate, for example, for Robocop cosplay at Halloween. The set of characteristics is standard for this segment, although reviews say that lenses need to be extremely accurate - without the lack of proper care, they are easily scratched and get dirty quickly. In addition, buyers note the presence of an unpleasant odor of varying degrees of sharpness (its origin is not known for certain, but the main suspicions are in the direction of glue). Compensation for the above inconvenience can be considered a storage case that comes in the kit (for competing firms these are included in the delivery only in models from 2000 rubles).

2 COPOZZ GOG-201 Pro

The COPOZZ brand has long established itself in the segment of sports equipment and accessories and is well known among those who do not want to overpay money for European brands of virtually identical quality. The considered model GOG-201 Pro is the most popular in the range of the company and has everything you need to satisfy even demanding customers. The seller stated that the main material used double lenses made from high-quality Italian high-resolution polycarbonate (it is likely cunning, and in reality everything is more prosaic, but in any case, no complaints about the quality of the material were noticed). There are several rows of vents, so there will be no problems with the influx of fresh air. On the product page, a wide range of colors is available, both of the lenses themselves and of the frames, each of the shades is accompanied by an explanation regarding the light transmission and recommended weather conditions. Separate enthusiasm buyers causes the possibility of removing and replacing lenses.

1 COPOZZ Polarized

The main difference of this model from the already mentioned GOG-201 Pro is the presence of polarizing lenses. This is an optical technology, the essence of which is to improve the quality and clarity of the image by neutralizing the glare of light reflected from snow and ice. That is, ideally, the glasses will perform not only a protective function, but also seriously improve the visibility of what is happening on the snow slope. But here it should be noted that such lenses are really effective and in demand only in those places where the bright sun constantly shines (which means we boldly delete most of the Russian resorts), and in other weather the difference is almost imperceptible.

2 Tree Better S400

The most budget version of ski goggles, which can be found on AliExpress. It’s worth making a reservation: there are instances cheaper (some products are almost doubled), but unlike the Tree Better S400, we could not find any reliable evidence that they were actually used during skiing or snowboarding (but buyers happily shared information about their use in the garage, during repairs, etc.). Concerning this model, such confirmations are available and the reviews about them are quite good. They protect you from getting something in your eyes, from the sun too, and for many other functions you don’t need it. The entire line of colors is marked as UV400 (100% UV protection), and one of the modifications even comes with polarized lenses (but it’s unlikely for this price to expect a significant effect).

1 MiYang HX-X400

For a little more than 500 rubles, the buyer is offered "lightweight and flexible ski goggles with ergonomic design." Actually, add to the description of the seller themselves and nothing. Reviews of riders who have tried them in practice, say that the HX-X400 honestly work out their price: durable polycarbonate, does not break from the slightest contact, does not mist over the breath and whims of the weather, all types of colored lenses give a nice picture corresponding to color shade. Apparently, for greater reliability in the nose bridge, the glasses are fastened by a plastic partition, and on models with transparent and light lenses, it does not look very nice, but does not interfere with the view. As a gift, the seller puts a scarf mask (with a skull).

2 COPOZZ GOG-201-Set

Already familiar GOG-201 provided an additional yellow-transparent lens (specially designed for riding at night or in cloudy weather) and a carrying case, where all this stuff can be neatly folded, without fear that equipment will be broken during transportation. In principle, the whole set is easy to buy and separately, but if you do not bother with the search for discounts and bonuses, it will cost a little more. Plus, there is a danger of getting not exactly what I ordered, and the components will not fit together. In this case, however, this probability is practically excluded, since compatibility is specifically checked before dispatch. Many people have difficulty with the replacement of lenses, but here it’s rather a matter of manual dexterity and with time you can adapt (or you may not).

 

1 COPOZZ GOG-2181-Set

Having heard complaints about the “hellish mechanism of changing lenses” in the GOG-201 model, the guys from COPOZZ decided that they needed to get rid of the problem fundamentally and released GOG-2181, identical in completeness and characteristics, but with one important feature - the lenses are held on magnets. Thanks to this, the process of their replacement will not cause difficulties even for a child. The magnets themselves are very strong and fasten the structure reliably (numerous positive reviews of those who tried the glasses actually say that there were no excesses during random drops and collisions - the lenses always remained in place). Therefore, GOG-2181 is perfect for those who want to collect a whole arsenal of color filters for different situations and be able to change them quickly.
