Selection criteria for the perfect snowboard goggles

When buying snowboard goggles, you should pay attention to various factors:

1. The weather and light conditions on the piste determine the ideal goggles.
2. Dark tints are suitable for sunny days, while we recommend light-coloured, contrast-enhancing lenses for poor visibility and snowfall.
3. The difference between men's and women's models often lies in size and design, with many goggles being unisex.
4. In any case, you should make your choice according to personal preference. Retro with a wide frame or futuristic with a quick-change system - it's up to you.

Here you will find a brief overview of suitable VLT values for sunshine to snowfall:

VLT 4% to 13% for sunny days and the glacier: This range includes lenses with dark tints that only allow a small amount of light to pass through. They are ideal for days with intense sunlight and reflection from snow surfaces.

VLT 14 % to 20 % for sunny and slightly cloudy days: These lenses come with medium tints that block enough light to provide good vision in sunlight and slightly cloudy conditions.

VLT 21 % to 40 % for changeable weather: These versatile tints are a good middle ground between protection from sunlight and improving vision in changing conditions.

VLT 41 % to 80 % for overcast conditions and snowfall: These are light to clear tints that maximise light transmission to improve visibility in low light conditions such as dense fog or heavy snowfall.

Which lens is ideal for my needs?

Apart from the tint, the shape is also decisive. Cylindrical and spherical lenses offer different fields of vision and optics, and the choice also depends on your preferences.

• Spherical lenses are curved in two trucks, which is closer to the natural curvature of the eye and reduces optical distortion. They offer a wide field of vision and clear vision. You will often find such lenses in premium models.
• Cylindrical lenses are curved in only one axis and provide a flatter look and the popular retro look. They position the lens closer to the face, which potentially widens the peripheral field of vision. They are also often cheaper.

The most important features of snowboard goggles

Key features of snowboard goggles include UV protection, anti-fog coatings and interchangeable lenses for different weather conditions. A good fit and ventilation systems are crucial to prevent fogging of the lenses and ensure all-day comfort.
