What is actually the main difference between ski and mtb goggles and am I really such a weirdo for practicing both sports with the same pair?

Ski goggles tend to not breath as well and tend to fog up in typical condition mountain bike riding. Lenses are often tinted lighter or not at all on mtb/moto goggles as many are riding in dense forest.

You’re doing it right. I use Scott Xi89 goggles for skiing that can be used for MX and MTBing, you just need to sources the right lenses separately for the right activity. You can even get vented lenses for skiing that don’t fog up.

there's actually a few - you can make them work but you might have a few things swinging in favour

- fit - deppends on the type of helmets you use - if your ski and mtb helmet are of the same brand, chances are the goggles will snug well

- tint - when skiing you're far more often exposed to uv than if mountain biking in the forest - if you change lenses accordingly, no reason to not wear the same pair

as @gnarnaimo pointed, ski goggles do not breath as well as mtb because humidity levels are usually very different from open top of the mountain freezing ice cold, as opposed to dense forest muddy conditions

I wear my ski helmet most of the year too. Warmer and more comfortable.

I have a smith squad mtb and ski frame. The lenses are compatible between the two which is really nice for using lenses between the two. The difference between the two at least on the squad is no insulation on the mtb, single pane lenses, tear off mounts, and much improved ventilation.

@Luis-Sc: Not sure if you are aware but tint has very little to do with UV protection. In fact tinted lenses without proper UV protection are more harmful than clear lenses without proper UV protection as they allow our pupils to dialate further and our eyes open wider despite the UV rays.

@vtracer: I never knew they were interchangeable, I also have both Ski and MTB frames. May switch my clear MTB lens to my Ski frame for winter commuting where there's lots of wind chill and I just need something to protect my eyes from the wind

I use their Aerospace goggle for winter fatbiking. Its a split board goggle that pops the lens forward a bit for when walking. I use them closed out in the open and open when im riding singletrack, Work unreal. Would love to try these.
