Collection: Ski and snowboard goggles with category 3 smoke lenses
SKI GOGGLES WITH MIRROR LENSES
In the market for ski and snowboard goggles, there is a wide range of lens options designed for different weather conditions. Whether you're skiing, snowboarding, or ski mountaineering, it's essential to understand how to choose the most suitable goggles for your activity. Each discipline has unique requirements that can significantly impact performance.
Different types of lenses are available for various weather conditions, and selecting the right one can mean the difference between an enjoyable outing and one filled with visibility issues. It's crucial to choose goggles with lenses tailored to the specific conditions you'll encounter, ensuring optimal performance and enjoyment.
Using a category 3 smoke lens in ski and snowboard goggles is essential for days with very intense light conditions. This lens provides the same darkness as standard sunglasses, but its design blocks both vertical and lateral rays, ensuring a consistent level of darkness. This feature promotes excellent eye relaxation even in the blinding light caused by strong glare from the snow.
When skiing or snowboarding in bright conditions, a smoke lens offers a sensation similar to that of a polarized lens. Its striking mirrored finish not only enhances aesthetics but also acts as a barrier, effectively shielding against solar and UV rays.
Recommended Light Conditions
We highly recommend using a smoke lens primarily on very sunny days. Its main purpose is to provide eye protection and ensure maximum relaxation in such conditions, even during prolonged use. It can also be suitable for less intense sunny days while retaining its benefits.
However, its effectiveness in cloudy weather is subjective. While it may be appropriate on days with both clouds and strong brightness, it can significantly darken the view in low light conditions, making it challenging to identify obstacles like ripples, bumps, and depressions.
For fog, snow, or night skiing, we advise against using this type of lens due to its darkness.
The double smoke lens for ski and snowboard goggles is shatterproof, offering maximum protection in case of accidental impacts. Its lighter weight and enhanced impact resistance ensure optimal performance and safety.
Equipped with an anti-fog treatment, the smoke lens prevents moisture accumulation on the lens surface, minimizing fogging. The double lens design creates a cavity that isolates the external surface from the internal one, reducing thermal shock, a primary cause of fogging. Combined with ventilation holes in the ultra-light and elastic frame, this lens effectively combats fogging.
The side wings of ski and snowboard goggles with a smoke lens are designed to provide a better fit with any helmet available on the market.
Additionally, the adjustable elastic band features a grip insert that prevents slipping along the surface of the helmet, enhancing both stability and comfort.
For Those Who Use Prescription Lenses
For individuals who require prescription lenses while wearing ski and snowboard goggles with a smoke lens, there is the option to use a special removable clip-on. This functions like regular glasses inside the goggles, accommodating various types of vision corrections as needed.
