CHOOSE THE
RIGHT LENS.

Sun, clouds, snowfall or flat light. The right lens changes how you see the mountain — and how confidently you ride it.

LOW LIGHT S0–S1
CLOUD / SNOW S1–S2
VARIABLE S2–S3
BRIGHT SUN S3–S4
WHY THE LENS MATTERS

SEE MORE.
RIDE BETTER.

Ski goggles do much more than protect your eyes from snow and wind. The lens controls how much light reaches your eyes, reduces glare and helps you see contrast, shapes and changes in the terrain.

Snow reflects light intensely and conditions can change quickly in the mountains. The right lens makes it easier to read what's in front of you while UV400 protection shields your eyes from harmful ultraviolet light.

UNDERSTANDING VLT

HOW MUCH LIGHT
GETS THROUGH?

VLT means Visible Light Transmission. A high percentage lets more light through, while a low percentage blocks more light.

100% MORE LIGHT 50% VARIABLE 0% LESS LIGHT
S0 80–100% Night & very low light
S1 40–80% Cloudy & snowy
S2 20–40% Mixed conditions
S3 10–20% Bright & sunny
S4 0–10% Extreme alpine sun
PHOTOCHROMIC

ONE LENS.
CHANGING LIGHT.

Photochromic lenses automatically react to changing light. Scroll to see how the lens adapts.

LOW LIGHT LIGHTER LIGHT CHANGES → BRIGHT SUN DARKER

In lower light the lens stays lighter to let more light through. As conditions become brighter, it gradually darkens to reduce glare and brightness.

LENS COLORS

DIFFERENT TINT.
DIFFERENT JOB.

Lens color isn't only about looks. Different tints affect brightness, contrast and how the terrain appears.

S3

BLUE

S3

GREEN

Versatile for bright to partly cloudy conditions.

S3

BRONZE

S2

PINK

Extra contrast and depth in flatter light.

S1–S4

PHOTOCHROMIC

Automatically adapts as the light changes.

UV400 UV protection

DUAL LENS Built for the mountain
THE SIMPLE VERSION

LET THE CONDITIONS
CHOOSE THE LENS.

Bright sun needs a darker lens. Flat light needs a brighter lens. And if you don't want to think about it, a photochromic lens adapts as the mountain changes.
