How to order Clip-In prescriptions for ski and snowboarding Goggles

Clip-In’s have become increasingly popular for those who require a prescription for skiing or snowboarding. Although the pros and cons depend on your personal preference, the increase in up take is largely due to the fact that by having your prescription clipped inside your goggles they are a more convenient and comfortable alternative to fitting your goggles over your glasses. All the adult goggles on our website will take a clip-in prescription.
