- Description
- One pair of ski goggles with an adjustable elastic head strap. The lenses are convex, dark and oblong-shaped, surrounded by metal frames. The frames have four horseshoe-shaped vent holes (to prevent fogging) on the top and bottom with two larger holes on each side so the lenses can be clipped to the frame; there are also smaller holes in the metal with twine threaded through to attach the soft rubber portion that will be against the wearer’s skin, and slits on the side so the head strap elastic can go through. The head strap is held together by a metal circle ring on one side and a clip on the other. The lenses are joined by a piece of black leather across the nose portion.
