Ski Goggle Lens Options Explained
- Gold -The most popular lens tint. Filters out blue light for exceptional flat to bright light conditions. Wide range of weather conditions.
- Black Iridium -The mirrored coating helps reduce glare with maximum visual clarity. Great for sunny days.
- Bronze -Great protection on those sunny days when you can’t help but squint out there. Give your eyes a break on those super clear days.
- Silver/Green -All around Lens. Enhances contrast in diffused light. Ideal for all light conditions.
- Rose -Great for low light conditions, yet still practical on sunny days.
- Psycho (Purple) -One of the best low light lenses we’ve used. Perfect for overcast and snowy days. Brings out the shadows and contours in the flattest light.
- Clear -Night skiing or extremely cloudy days. Provides 100% UV protection without an added tint.
Some advice on goggles:
Single lens or double lens?
Go for the double lens. Single lenses fog much faster than double lenses. We also recommend a No Fog Cloth to provide maximum fog protection.
Venting?
Get vented goggles!! Venting in the goggle allows air to flow through the goggle to reduce fogging and also to provide fresh air for your eyes. You’d be amazed at the difference. The vents are commonly small holes in the top of the lens, or slots on the sides of the frame.
