Snowboard Goggle Lenses

Selecting Snowboard Goggle Lenses

Possessing more than one snowboard lens guarantees that you can navigate the slopes regardless of the weather conditions encountered during the day. The variation in lens colours serves not only an aesthetic purpose but is crafted specifically for distinct weather and lighting conditions.

What requires your consideration here is VLT, which stands for visible light transmission. Expressed as a percentage, VLT indicates the amount of light transmitted through the lens. Regarding colours, opt for a darker hue when snowboarding on sunny days. For lower light conditions, select a yellow, amber, or rose hue. To explore further about choosing the appropriate lens, have a look at our Snowboard and Ski Goggles Guide.

Naturally, when opting for an interchangeable lens, it is essential that the snow goggles are compatible.

Maintaining Clean Snow Goggle Lenses

Maintaining the cleanliness of your snowboard lenses helps to preserve their condition, but it's vital to do so correctly to prevent damage. Generally, refrain from using any cleaning products on the lens, as these can often be detrimental. To clean the outer lens, begin by shaking off any snow adhering to the goggles. Then, rather than wiping, gently blot or dab the lens with a microfibre cloth to eliminate any excess moisture.

Apply the same method to the lens's interior, taking particular care as this section houses the anti-fog coating and is susceptible to damage. A commonly shared tip is to minimise touching the lens interior to prevent the appearance of fingerprints.
