Dual-Pane Lenses

Also known as the dual-layered lens is a construction that features two lens walls, one at the front and one at the exterior.

Ventilation

Look for OTG goggles with proper ventilation. Some OTG goggles come with a vent port, vent padding or even, battery-powered fans to allow for proper ventilation and airflow. This prevents ice and snow clogging as well as sweating under the eyes for a full day of comfort.
