ABSTRACT:
A sports goggle, for water sports, downhill skiing and other sports, comprises a frame having left and right vision openings and having anterior and posterior surfaces, the frame is floatable and is contoured and constructed of a resilient and flexible plastic or rubber material so as to enable the posterior surface to conform to a wearer's face. Included are left and right curved lenses which are sized and shaped for covering a respective one of the vision openings in the frame and which are constructed of a thin, transparent, shatter-resistant plastic polarized lens material. A plurality of stand-off mounting bosses are formed on the frame to project forwardly from the anterior surface around each vision opening, each mounting boss having a forwardly-opening recess therein. A like plurality of rearwardly-projecting pins are fixed to each lens, the pins being sized and located for inserting into corresponding recesses in the mounting bosses. Spacing bosses are formed on the frame intermediate at least some of the mounting bosses so that an air gap is assured between the lenses and underlying regions of the frame even when the frame is flexed to conform to a small-sized face, air flow through the gap keeping the lenses from getting fogged during use and enabling water drainage. A floatable resilient strap is connected to rearward ends of the frame for retaining the goggles on a wearer's head.
