Ski Goggle Lenses

Ski goggle lenses for all weather conditions

While skiing, you might find yourself gliding down the slopes beneath a clear sky and radiant sun. At times, it can be cloudy as dusk approaches. The lighting in these situations varies greatly, making it unfeasible to find a ski goggle lens that accommodates every single light scenario.

It's challenging to come across ski goggles with lenses suitable for all weather; hence, it would be wise to invest in an additional lens to enhance your skiing experience no matter how overcast or sunny the day might be. Ensure that your ski goggles support interchangeable lenses prior to purchasing an extra one, to prevent unnecessary expenditure.

A wide selection of tones and colours are available for ski goggle lenses. The lenses' visual appeal and style matter, but their performance in the required skiing conditions is paramount.

Select the appropriate VLT for your ski lenses

Crucial to consider is the amount of light transmission you wish for your lenses. This is measured by VLT (Visible Light Transmission), which ranges from 0 - 100 percent and indicates the percentage of external light that reaches the eye.

For skiing in midday sunny conditions, a lens with a VLT of 5 - 20 percent is ideal, whereas 60-90 VLT lenses suit cloudy conditions, snow, twilight, and the artificial light found on evening slopes.

The majority seek out lenses functional across most conditions. In this scenario, lenses with a VLT ranging from 30 - 60 percent are recommended.
