OTG ski goggles: Perfect vision for glasses wearers on the slopes
For glasses wearers, a ski vacation often meant compromises: uncomfortable contact lenses, expensive prescription lenses, or bulky ski goggles that pressed against the frames. But those days are over! With modern OTG (Over The Glasses) ski goggles like THE ARC, you can enjoy unrestricted comfort and crystal-clear vision. In this guide, we'll show you how to perfectly wear your prescription glasses under your ski goggles and what's important to keep in mind!
What makes a good OTG ski goggle?
Not every large ski goggle is automatically suitable for glasses wearers. True OTG (Over The Glasses) models are specifically designed to offer space and comfort. The THE ARC ski goggle was developed from the ground up as an OTG solution and combines all the essential features.
- Cutouts in the frame: Side cutouts in the foam and frame give the temples of your glasses enough space without putting pressure on your temples or nose.
- Generous internal volume: Enough depth so that your glasses don't hit the visor of the ski goggles.
- Excellent ventilation: A crucial factor in preventing both pairs of glasses from fogging up!
With ARC ski goggles, you no longer have to choose between clear vision and comfort. You get both!
How to find the perfect fit: Your setup check
To ensure your goggles stay comfortable all day, proper adjustment is crucial. Take a few moments to check the setup before hitting the slopes.
Step 1: The glasses check
First, put on your regular prescription glasses. They should fit snugly and comfortably. Then, put on the THE ARC ski goggles over them. Pay attention to the following points:
- No pressure: The ski goggles should not press your prescription glasses against your face. The three-layer high-comfort foam of the ARC should gently conform to your face, while your glasses remain unobstructed underneath.
- No slipping: When you move your head, your corrective glasses should stay in place and not be moved by your ski goggles.
Step 2: Helmet compatibility
OTG ski goggles must work perfectly with your helmet. The ARC is universally helmet-compatible and designed for a seamless fit.
- Put on your helmet and pull your ski goggles over it. The strap goes over the helmet.
- There should be no large gap ("goggle gap") between the top edge of the ski goggles and the helmet.
- The ARC's non-slip silicone band ensures that the goggles stay securely on the helmet without slipping.
Anti-fog tips for OTG users: Double the clarity!
Wearing two pairs of glasses doubles the risk of fogging. But with the ARC and a few tricks, your vision is guaranteed to stay clear!
The ingenious ventilation system of the ARC ski goggles ensures constant air circulation and immediately removes moist air. Additionally, the high-quality anti-fog coating on the inside of the visor prevents fogging.
Pro tips for glasses wearers:
- Put on your ski goggles indoors: Go outside already wearing your ski goggles. This allows the temperatures of the goggles to equalize gradually.
- Avoid pushing your glasses up onto your forehead: Sweat and heat collect on the forehead. If you push your glasses up, they trap this moisture and fog up immediately.
- Clean your prescription glasses: Clean glasses fog up less quickly. Use an anti-fog wipe on your glasses before your day on the slopes.

Care & Cleaning of Your OTG Ski Goggles
To ensure you can enjoy your glasses for a long time, proper care is important – especially for the sensitive anti-fog coating.
- Exterior: You can easily wipe away snow and water with the included microfiber bag.
- Inside: NEVER RUB! This will destroy the anti-fog coating. Gently dab away any moisture. For heavy soiling, rinse with lukewarm water and allow to air dry.
- Transport: Always store your glasses in the included hard case . This protects them from scratches and damage.
