As the title says, Im looking for a place in Calgary that I can rent snowboard gear with goggles. The actual ski mountains rental gear cost too much and I heard that renting a day before in Calgary is a lot cheaper. However, I tried searching up places but none of them include ski goggles!
Does anyone know a place where I can rent gear and goggles? Or just goggles?
Thanks!

I don't think anyone would rent that. They are fairly inexpensive to buy. Maybe hit up a sports thrift store if you don't want to buy.
Unfortunately, these are not for me, but for my friends. This is their first time and I dont see them doing it again anytime soon, so buying it seems like a waste. Thats why theyre renting everything. Also, most goggles cost 30 - 40 on sale and those are the cheaper ones. Most goggles cost over 200 i think.
Time to borrow from some friends?
No friends that have goggles :(. The ones that do are unwilling to give it because their goggles cost over 200

Go to the goodwill thrift store, I just saw like 15 pairs there for about $5 each, Just be aware they're not "New quality"
Maybe I would try calling the places? It would seem very strange to me that a Helmet rental doesn't also include renting goggles.
Goggles get scratched and ruined pretty quickly by someone who doesn't give a shit about them, aka a renter. Also probably why buddies won't lend them out.
Yeah Ill definitely check that! However, when I check their websites, every store seems to not have goggles. I find this extremely weird as when I went to Vancouver they were everywhere.
Get your self a set of ESS land ops. There 20 bucks on eBay and they are designed for people with glasses or if you would like to add the prescription mount you have that option as well!
Rented snowboard equipment for nephew at this place in NW a few times. Don't think they have goggles though.

With Prime they can be here on Sunday
U can borrow mine
U of C has an outdoor gear place.
Yeah I think I looked them up, but they didnt seem to have goggles :/
No one will rent goggles as far as I know. It's pretty personal gear. You can buy a decent pair for under $100 and use them for winter cycling if you don't ski often!
U of C does rent goggles!
