Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Ski Goggles - Keeping them safe whilst travelling

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hello All,

I have a question:

How does everyone keep their goggles safe in their hold luggage?

We usually keep the goggles in the (thin) plastic boxes that they came in, however they are getting quite knackered now so wondered if anyone had a case that they use, or any other suggestion...

I've had a look on the interweb and can see plenty of Dakine cases, however, they don't look very resistant to knocks. I tried searching for a hard case but didn't find any...

Thanks! Very Happy

junitrules, Welcome to snowHead
Another vote for inside a ski boot or careful packing surrounded by t shirts and socks.
The only time I broke a pair was when I had them in my carry on hand baggage.
I always get more scratches on them whilst in resort and they are in use or hanging arround the accomodation!

Helmet or boot seems to work fine for me too.

You can get rigid mask boxes for diving masks - this kind of thing: https://www.ewetsuits.com/acatalog/diving-mask-boxes.html. That said, I use a soft version of the same thing for my goggles and just pack clothes around them.

In suitcase between layers of clothing....
Short of dropping the luggage cart on the suitcase I doubt the helmet, evem less the googles, would suffer.

I am sure if someone tried hard they could do damage but then I could carry the helmet with me all the time, trip, fall on it and crack the helmet... and a rib...

Being a snowboarder, and having my own board, my goggles go within the bindings, the rigid surroundings providing the protection. Prior to that they went in my boots. They did go in my hand luggage once, but that was because I almost forgot to pack them so were thrown in last minute!

junitrules, I kept mine in my helmet, someone knocked it over they fell out and then they sat on them, cracking the lens...

I got one of these - fitted my Scotts and my Oakleys. It came in at the price advertised and arrived really quickly - I'd recommend the seller.

Helmet - good shout!...

Didn't think of that as I haven't had one in the past but will have one next time I go...

Sorted!

Although, those cases look quite useful, Megamum, thanks!

I put my helmet in han d luggage and goggles in that. But I do have a soft case... one of the scuba mask cases... perfect for goggles and they scrunch up in a ski pack for lunch stops or taking a spare pair.
