Skiing, snowboarding, bobsledding, motocross, and snowmobiling; what do all of these sports have in common? They are all extreme outdoor sports! Do you have all the right equipment? What about 509 goggles? No? You need goggles for participation in these sports. Here are the benefits to wearing goggles when you participate in all of the above.

Protect Your Eyes from Rocks

In motocross, your bike kicks up a lot of loose stones, pebbles, and dirt. All of that can come right at your eyeballs. The dirt can cause infections, and you could actually lose your sight if pebbles or rocks embed themselves in your eyes. The goggles will prevent all of these nasty injuries and health concerns while you race or perform.

Ice and Snow Sting

Ice and snow are no picnic for your eyes either. If you have ever had someone give you a "face wash" with snow, you know how much this stings and burns. Throw in a few little bits of ice, and it is torment until it melts. Now imagine snowmobiling, skiing, snowboarding, or bobsledding and getting snow and ice in your face. You would not want to continue participating in a sport where it hurts not just your face, but your eyes too. Again, the goggles prove their worth and let you see clearly as you go.

Being Able to See Through Strong Winds and Dust

Strong winds in winter and dust in summer or spring can really cloud up your vision. Not being able to see means your bike, your skis, your sled, etc., could hit something or make a bad landing. That causes additional unpleasant injuries you can do without. Wearing goggles allows you to see through dust and see through winds whipping up the snow. You land where you want to and steer clear of everything you do not want to hit.

Buy the Toughest, Most Durable Goggles 

If you buy the toughest, most durable goggles you can buy for these outdoor sports, you have more than just the above benefits. You also have protection against accidental impalement of the eye sockets and protection from the sun. The best goggles are shatter resistant and can withstand several pounds per square inch of force. While you may get a concussion or cracked ribs doing these sports, you can bet your eyes will survive it all with the best goggles that money can buy.
