Find the right ski mask to protect your eyes from sunbeams and bad weather
How to choose your ski mask to feel comfy and be protected in any circumstances
When you are preparing your winter sports holidays, you first think about the equipement to face cold weather (gloves, coat, beanie, etc.). But sometimes, you tend to ignore the protection of your eyes, whether it be against the sun, the fog or snowfalls. Yet, whatever the weather condition, you must think about sunglasses, or even better, about a ski mask. But there are so many of them that it might be difficult to choose the perfect one. So here are several essential facts you should consider to find the right mask:
- Protection factor of the screen: from category 1 in low-lighting until category 4 when the sun shines, including categories 2 and 3 which allow to ski when the weather is uncertain or when there are clouds. For more comfort, some brands offer easy and fast systems to change your screen according to the weather. Others, like Julbo, have designed photochromic glasses which adapt to the light in a few seconds.
- Type of screen: the double screen allows to really reduce the mist in comparison with a simple screen, especially if it is provided with ventilation or anti-mist technologies developed by lots of brands.
- Comfort and size: the foam must perfectly hug the contour of your face. This way, you will be well protected and you will feel comfortable to ski down the slopes without continuously adjusting your mask.
