The 6 Best Kids' Ski & Snowboard Goggles of 2024
By: Jen Streby: Senior Buyer | October 19, 2023
Ski goggles have come a long way in the last decade. Optics manufacturers have been experimenting with frame styles and fits, different goggle foams, and of course, different lens tints and technologies to make sure that skiers and snowboarders have clear vision no matter the conditions. So, like always, the first thing to look for in goggles is a comfortable fit, especially for your kids. If kids' ski goggles don’t feel good, they won’t want to wear them. That’s why we’ve put a wide variety of goggles on this list, so there’s sure to be something for every child.
New This Year:
Kids' ski and snowboard goggles this year are all about combining function with fun. The trend of lively and playful straps remains a favorite among the young riders. Smith, always at the forefront of goggle innovation, has introduced the new Snowday goggle. As parents and guardians choose the goggle that's right for their young ones, it's essential to find that perfect blend of protection, style, and fun. Smith's Snowday ensures that kids not only stay safe on the slopes but also stand out with style.This Year's Best Kids' Ski & Snowboard Goggles:

Jen Streby
Hi! My name is Jen and while growing up in the very cold Midwest, I didn’t have much experience in the snow apart from sledding and building your classic snowman. Eventually, after college, I migrated my way out to Utah. There I stepped on the snow on skis for the first time at the young age of 27. The first experience being at Alta, doing a complete yard sale under the Collins lift on my first run. Stubborn me didn’t give up. I soon after got a job at Snowbird where I grew to love the sport and learned to love the mountains in the wintertime as much as I do in the summer.
My winter passion didn’t change upon moving to the PNW where I call Seattle my home. I started with evo 6 years ago and have been a buyer for several categories, one of which currently includes the snow accessories category. Come to me if you want to talk about helmets, goggles, gloves, and more.
