English term or phrase: soft-touch temples
I've come across this term in a translation about safety goggles. The "soft-touch temples" are for added comfort. The best translation I've found is "almohadillas," but I'm pretty sure there's a more accurate term out there. Please help! Thank you!

laterales suaves / blandos / flexibles
Explanation:
Since the temples are at both sides of the eyes and safety googles have to cover both the front and side areas, I think "lateral" could be used instead of "sien", and I know that soft-touch is not exactly the same as flexible but it has the same purpose and it can also be soft as opposed to rigid. I have used safety googles and never seen any with "almohadillas", although they may exist of course. Maybe you could even say "con protectores laterales flexibles", your context will help a bit here if there is any kind of description. Suerte.

Explanation:

"Debido al material con que están hechas, su tacto es muy suave en las sienes, resultando muy cómodas de llevar".

This would be my option.
Good luck!
