Abstract

A strap for ski goggles is disclosed wherein the strap includes a ring at the location of the wearer's ears so that the ring surrounds or substantially surrounds the ear. In this way the strap does not press down on the ears. The ring may include a Velcro perimeter that engages a corresponding Velcro perimeter of a removable ear cup for keeping the ears warm. The rings may be circular, oval, or generally U-shaped.
