Hi
I've booked my first ski holiday (can't wait!) and now I'm trying to get kitted out with the right gear. Should I buy goggles, glasses or both?
I tried on some goggles at the weekend and they seemed massive. Any ideas on which goggles are best for ladies (with pin heads)?
Many thanks

Sunglasses as much as you can, but you will need both as they are next to useless in some situations.

^ That thread descends in to a goggles vs. sunglasses debate but at the end of the day everyone has their personal preferences. Take both and decide for yourself what you like the most.

If you decide on goggles the Oakley Stockholms are great for women with pin heads! :lol:

Definately need both. Glasses for blue sky days but take the goggles because you never know what might happen up them there mountains.

Yep, always carry both. And youth sizes are good for smaller heads. ( and cheaper!!!!!)

You'll need goggles if it's snowing or you're in the powder. Sunnies for non-snowy, non-powder days.
