Scratch-free Goggles?

Hi,

I have a pair of goggles that I've used for a couple of years. When not in use, I keep them in their pouch with the aim of protecting them. However, the lens has become quite scratched, to the extent that I'm conscious of the scratches when I use the goggles and look through the lens. So - I need to buy a new pair of goggles.

My question is - do all goggle lenses tend to get scratched, or only particular types? If so, what type of lens technology should I look out for and avoid?

Thanks.

Can you not just replace the lenses?

Hi,

If the lens is replaceable, my question is what type of lens technology should I look out for and avoid?

In time they all scratch. Its a fact of life I am afraid. You can try your best to treat them well, but the scratch fairy gets them.

they're not all equal of course, mirrored lenses are more prone to visible scratches obviously as it's a coating on the lens itself and some mirroring seems much susceptible than others. But mirroring is good so I do have some, I just try and be careful with them and I don't have them kicking around my sack day in-day out. If there's a brand you fancy you can often turn up reports on google from people who've had experience with them.
