Best Women’s Snowboard Goggles of 2024

BEST FOR: PERFORMANCE AT A VALUE

The Smith Drift snowboard goggles are just about the best performance you’re going to find from a goggle for the price. These goggles provide active ventilation to reduce fogging on your lenses in almost all conditions, and they also have a special anti-fog coating on the interior of the lens to ensure that you have a clear field of vision throughout the day.

The goggles are designed to be compatible with snowboard helmets and particularly for Smith’s helmets. Their seamless compatibility makes sure that there’s no gap between your goggles and your helmet, keeping you warm, dry, and your field of vision clear throughout the day. Finally, these medium-fit goggles are covered by Smith’s signature lifetime warranty, so you can enjoy a day on the hill without worrying about losing or breaking your goggles, knowing they can easily be replaced.

BEST FOR: ULTIMATE COMFORT

Transition from the streets to the slopes with these sleek glasses-compatible snowboard goggles. Discreet notches on the frames of the goggles allow glasses stem to fit comfortably inside without putting added pressure on your temples or the bridge of your nose. Additionally, these goggles are designed for interchangeable lenses, so as the conditions change, you can switch out the lenses for darker or lighter ones to help you see better in any weather condition. Finally, the combination of three layers of face foam, a 50 millimeter wide adjustable strap, and a flexible frame that conforms to your face even in extreme cold weather make these goggles some of the most comfortable on the market for long days at the resort.

BEST FOR: LUXURIOUS PERFORMANCE

The Anon Tempest goggles are as stylish as they are effective. Superior fit and comfort combines with advanced lens technology to make these goggles some of the best out there. The lenses have a spherical design, meaning they’re curved both horizontally around your eyes and also vertically from the bridge of your nose to your forehead.

This design provides enhanced field of vision and clarity while you’re out enjoying the mountain. The lenses are also interchangeable so that you can adjust them if the weather conditions suddenly change from sunny to cloudy to snowy. The lenses adhere to the goggles with a magnetic mechanism that ensures a seamless fit between the lenses and the frames, which makes sure that no wind or excess moisture gets into the goggles causing fogging.

BEST FOR: HIGH TECH VISION

Advances in goggle lens technology can really help you have the best time possible out there on the slopes. The Smith I/O MAG S ChromaPop Photochromic goggles feature the best of the current lens technology with a spherical design (meaning, the lenses are curved both horizontally across your face as well as vertically from your nose to your forehead) for better field of vision and clarity and photochromic lenses. The photochromic technology automatically adjusts the tint of your lenses to better match weather conditions on the slopes. When you purchase these goggles, they also come with a second lens, one that’s best and will adjust for bright light and one that’s best and will adjust for lower light conditions. Finally, a durable hydrophobic lens coating repels moisture, grease, and grime for longer lasting performance.

BEST FOR: THOSE THAT RUN COLD

If you tend to run cold in the winter, then these goggles might be the ones for you. Powerful magnets on the base of the goggles allow you to attach a facemask when the weather turns colder or detach it easily when you’re cooling off on the chairlift. Also, the better the fit, the warmer that you’ll be. These goggles are also designed specifically for women, meaning they have a smaller overall profile, so they’re guaranteed to hug your face without any gaps.

These goggles also feature really easy-to-use lens change technology so that you won’t have to spend much time fumbling with your lenses without your gloves to change them out when the weather changes. Finally, these goggles are fully helmet compatible so you won’t have to deal with that annoying (and chilly!) gap between the helmet and your goggles.

BEST FOR: RETRO PERFORMANCE

The retro style of the Giro Dylan snowboard goggles combines with serious performance and value, making these one of the best deals out there. The wide-angle field of vision, the impact-resistant cylindrical lens, and the choice of the amber & pink lens or the yellow lens provides best-in-class visibility in all conditions. The amber & pink lens is best for sunny or light overcast conditions, while the yellow lens will help you see in overcast and low-light conditions. Finally, the frame is rimmed with three layers of face foam, including a plush fleece layer that helps with moisture wicking, that combine for superior, all-day comfort.

BEST FOR: CLARITY AND VISION

The rimless design of the Oakley Flight Deck XM snowboard goggles, modeled after jet fighter pilot helmet visors, provides unmatched wide-angle field of vision for maximum clarity on the snowboard hill. Oakley’s lens technology boosts contrast, so that you can be sure that you’ll have superior vision and definition even in the snowiest, low-light conditions. Additionally, the goggles feature a triple-layer of foam and a fleece lining around the rim of the goggles, ensuring a tight seal, moisture wicking, and all day comfort.

Finally, the lenses also have a specialized anti-fog treatment, so that even when you’re working hard out there on the trails, you won’t have to stop and wipe off the condensation on the interior of your goggles. You should have clear vision all day and in all conditions!

BEST FOR: VARIABLE CONDITIONS

The best feature of the Dragon goggle lines is its Swiftlock lens changing technology, which makes it incredibly easy to switch out your goggle’s lenses as conditions change throughout the day. If a sunny day suddenly turns blustery and snowy, simply pull out the low-light lens (which is included in your purchase), and switch it out in seconds.

The goggles also feature color filtering technology that corrects for distortion and optimizes for clarity, so that you can both enjoy the views and stay safe as you cruise down the hill. Finally, the signature Dragon colors and style seen both on the strap and in the colors chosen for the lenses make these goggles some of the most stylish, safe, and effective goggles out there.

BEST FOR: TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Inspired by the grit and courage of NASA’s astronauts, the Spy Legacy snowboard goggles are the ones you’ll want to buy to take it to the next level. They fit seamlessly with most snowboard helmets, so you should be able to throw them in with the rest of your gear and hit the slopes without having to worry.

The spherical lenses (curved both horizontally across your face as well as vertically between your nose and forehead) makes for superior vision and minimal distortion, and the lenses also feature anti-scratch technology and venting that prevents excess fogging. Finally, the lenses are changed out with a simple button mechanism so that your field of vision remains fingerprint free in all conditions and so that you can easily switch out the lenses if the weather suddenly changes while you’re out on enjoying the trails.
