Ski Goggle Lenses

A ski goggle lens for every weather condition

When skiing, you might find yourself gliding down the slopes under a clear sky with bright sunshine. At other times, you could be skiing in overcast weather during twilight. The light in these situations varies greatly, and a single ski goggle lens cannot accommodate all the varying light conditions.

Locating a ski goggle with a lens apt for every weather may be challenging; therefore, consider acquiring an additional lens to ensure the best possible skiing experience, whether it is heavily overcast or especially sunny. Ensure that your ski goggles allow for lens exchanges before purchasing an extra lens to avoid wasting money.

There are numerous shades and colours to select from for your ski goggle lenses. While the appearance and style of the lenses are one aspect, their performance in the conditions you intend to ski in is most vital.

Select the suitable VLT for your ski lenses

An essential consideration is the amount of light transfer you desire for your lenses. The light transfer level is quantified in VLT (Visible Light Transmission). This measurement varies from 0 to 100 percent and indicates how much external light reaches the eyes.

For skiing in bright sunlight at midday, opt for a lens with a VLT between 5 and 20 percent. Conversely, lenses with a 60 to 90 percent VLT are ideal for cloudy conditions, snow, dawn, and artificial lighting on the slopes during the evening.

Many individuals seek a lens suitable for various conditions. In such instances, consider lenses with a 30 to 60 percent VLT.
