Collection: Otg Snow goggles with Category 3 Smoke Lenses
Prescription Snow Goggles with Mirror Lenses
For skiers and snowboarders who wear prescription glasses daily and find contact lenses uncomfortable or impractical, DEMON has developed a specialized line of OTG (Over The Glasses) snow goggles with Category 3 smoke lenses. These goggles are designed to combine high-performance protection, clear vision, and comfort while accommodating your optical frames underneath.
The OTG design allows you to wear your own eyeglasses comfortably, eliminating the need for temporary clip-in lenses or contact lenses. The side frames are specially contoured to make inserting your glasses easy, while the slightly wider front structure stabilizes the frames, preventing movement or shifting during high-speed runs, sharp turns, or jumps. This ensures that your prescription glasses remain secure, allowing for uninterrupted vision throughout your activity.
The Category 3 smoke lenses offer excellent protection against bright sunlight and glare from reflective snow surfaces, making them ideal for skiing or snowboarding in sunny or high-altitude conditions. By filtering out excessive light, these lenses reduce eye fatigue, enhance contrast, and provide a comfortable visual experience even during extended periods outdoors.
Using snow goggles that fit over your prescription glasses is the optimal solution for winter sports enthusiasts seeking a technical goggle that delivers consistent visibility, protection, and comfort. With this setup, you can focus entirely on the slopes, your performance, and the enjoyment of the sport, without worrying about compromised vision or uncomfortable eyewear.
Technical Characteristics of OTG Snow Goggles with Category 3 Smoke Lenses
Category 3 Smoke Lens
The Category 3 smoke lens used in DEMON OTG snow goggles is engineered from high-quality, anti-break polycarbonate, providing a combination of optical clarity, durability, and safety. This lens allows skiers and snowboarders to maintain clear vision both on-piste and off-piste, while offering reliable protection against impacts. In the event of a strong collision, the polycarbonate material disperses the force across the lens surface, preventing the formation of dangerous fragments that could injure the eyes.
Double-Layer Construction
The lens incorporates a double-layer system, with two polycarbonate layers separated by a thin plastic material. This creates a cavity effect that reduces thermal transfer from the external environment to the internal surface of the lens—a major factor in the formation of condensation and fogging. By stabilizing the internal temperature, this design ensures a clear and uninterrupted field of vision, even during rapid transitions between cold outdoor air and warmer body heat.
Anti-Fog Treatment
The internal surface of the lens is treated with an advanced anti-fog coating, which works synergistically with the double-layer construction to further minimize condensation. This ensures that your vision remains consistently clear, even during high-intensity skiing, snowboarding, or prolonged exposure to changing temperatures.
Optimal Light Protection
The smoke tint of Category 3 is ideal for bright sunlight and intense snow glare, making it perfect for high-altitude conditions or sunny days on the slopes. The lens reduces eye fatigue during prolonged use, offering a relaxing effect similar to that of polarized lenses. Skiers and snowboarders can enjoy longer, more comfortable sessions without straining their eyes.
Mirror Finish
Externally, the lens features a strong mirroring effect. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the mirror coating serves a functional purpose: it reflects excess sunlight, further reducing glare and enhancing comfort for the eyes. This combination of smoke tint and mirrored finish ensures maximum visual clarity, eye protection, and style.
OTG (Over The Glasses) Technology
OTG, which stands for “Over The Glasses,” refers to a specialized type of snow goggle designed specifically for skiers and snowboarders who wear prescription glasses. This technology allows users to wear their own optical frames comfortably underneath the goggles without compromising fit, vision, or performance.
OTG snow goggles achieve this through carefully engineered design features. The internal foam is shaped with extra depth and flexibility, creating a soft, cushioned space that accommodates the temples and frames of eyeglasses. Additionally, the front contour of the frame is slightly widened and strategically structured to securely hold the optical glasses in place. This prevents unwanted movement or shifting during activity, ensuring that your vision remains clear, stable, and uninterrupted on the slopes.
By combining these design elements, OTG goggles provide maximum comfort and protection for prescription eyewear users. Skiers and snowboarders can enjoy the full functionality of their optical lenses, while benefiting from the same high-level UV protection, anti-fog treatment, and impact resistance as traditional snow goggles.
OTG Snow Goggles: Frame Accommodation and Comfort
The triple-density foam used in OTG snow goggles is carefully engineered to provide both comfort and functionality for prescription glasses users. Within this foam, specific shapes and contours are designed to facilitate the easy insertion of your optical frames. This ensures that the glasses sit securely without causing pressure on the temples or sides of the head, even during extended periods of skiing or snowboarding. The layered foam also helps absorb shocks and adapt to different facial shapes, maintaining a snug yet comfortable fit.
At the front of the goggles, the frame is widened and contoured to stably accommodate the optical glasses. This design prevents micro-movements of the frames that could otherwise disrupt your vision or cause discomfort during dynamic movements on the slopes. By keeping the prescription lenses perfectly aligned with the OTG goggles, the mask allows for prolonged wear without fatigue or irritation, providing consistent visual clarity throughout your activity.
The goggle mount is crafted from a specialized, high-resilience plastic material that is resistant to both extreme cold and high temperatures. This ensures that the frame retains its shape and structural integrity in alpine conditions, from freezing mornings to sunlit afternoons, without warping or breaking.
To further enhance comfort and performance, the mount includes strategically placed ventilation sections. These allow airflow to circulate inside the goggles, reducing condensation and helping prevent fogging on the internal lens surface. By combining secure frame accommodation, temperature-resistant materials, and optimized ventilation, these OTG snow goggles provide maximum comfort, clear vision, and reliable performance for skiers and snowboarders who wear prescription glasses.
Elastic Strap with Silicone Grip Sections
The elastic strap of the DEMON OTG snow goggles with Category 3 smoke lenses is designed for maximum stability and secure fit. Integrated silicone grip sections on the strap enhance adherence to the helmet or headgear, preventing slippage even during dynamic movements, high-speed descents, or challenging snow conditions. This ensures that the goggles stay firmly in place throughout your skiing or snowboarding session, maintaining consistent vision and comfort.
Using an OTG snow goggle with a Category 3 smoke lens is the perfect solution for skiers and snowboarders who require prescription eyewear. These goggles allow you to wear your optical frames comfortably underneath, eliminating the need to remove them, carry them in a backpack, or store them in pockets while on the slopes. This promotes freedom of movement, uninterrupted visibility, and enhanced safety, allowing you to fully enjoy every moment on the snow.
The combination of smoke-tinted lenses, OTG compatibility, and a secure elastic strap with silicone grips ensures that your vision remains clear, relaxed, and protected in bright sunlight, reflective snow, or prolonged outdoor activity. The lenses reduce eye fatigue, enhance contrast, and provide reliable protection from glare, while the OTG design allows seamless integration with your prescription glasses.
DEMON is committed to continuous research and technological innovation, developing OTG snow goggles that meet the evolving needs of skiers and snowboarders who wear optical frames. Every detail, from foam comfort to lens quality and strap stability, is designed to provide optimal performance, safety, and comfort, ensuring that athletes can focus entirely on their passion for winter sports without compromise.
