Snowboard Buy goggles
Are you going on a winter holiday soon and still want to buy new snowboard goggles? Then you’ve come to the right place at Sideways. Do not underestimate the importance of good snowboard goggles! The goggles protect your eyes from the cold, wind and possible falls. Especially in less favorable conditions you’re better off with ski goggles. There is no difference between ski and snowboard goggles. There can, however, be differences between men and women snowboard goggles.
The importance of a snowboard goggle
In addition to protection against the cold wind, wearing a snowboard goggle prevents unfiltered sunlight from reaching your eyes. When intense UV radiation shines directly into your eyes it can have unpleasant consequences. During winter sports this danger is even greater because the snow reflects UV radiation. UV also penetrates thick cloud cover. That is why wearing a well-sealing snowboard goggle is a must during your winter sports trip.

What to pay attention to when buying a snowboard goggle?
When buying a snowboard goggle there are several important aspects to keep in mind. First of all, fit is essential - make sure the goggle fits your face well and is comfortable to wear, without pinching or shifting while snowboarding. The lens color is also important, since different tints are suitable for various weather conditions. A clear lens is ideal for cloudy days, while dark lenses are good for sunny conditions. Also consider anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings for clear vision and durability. Furthermore, the ability to change lenses can be handy if you often snowboard in changing conditions. Finally, choose a stylish goggle that matches your personal taste and snowboard outfit.
Lens category of the snowboard goggle
For each type of weather you should put a different lens in your goggle. That is not always possible. There are three lens categories: Category 1, 2 and 3.
The brighter the sun, the darker the lens should be. During a clear blue sky you will therefore have the best view with a ski goggle with a lens from category 3.
Goggle with cylindrical or spherical lens
The main difference between a snowboard goggle with a spherical and a cylindrical lens is the shape of the lens. A spherical lens has a curved shape in both the vertical and horizontal directions, similar to the appearance of a sphere. This allows the lens to better conform to the shape of the face, resulting in a wider field of view without distortion. Spherical lenses also reduce the risk of glare and reflections, providing clear and sharp vision in various conditions.
On the other hand, a cylindrical lens has a flatter shape in the horizontal direction and a curved shape in the vertical direction, similar to the appearance of a cylinder. Cylindrical lenses are often somewhat cheaper than spherical lenses and can still provide good vision, but they usually have a narrower field of view and can cause more distortion at the edges of the view. Overall, spherical lenses are more popular due to their better fit and wider field of view, but the choice between the two lens types depends on personal preference and budget.
Photochromic snowboard goggles
A photochromic lens is ideal in a snowboard goggle because it automatically adapts to changing light conditions. These lenses contain photochromic properties that react to UV light, causing the tint of the lens to darken when there is more UV light present, such as on sunny days. Conversely, the lens becomes lighter when there is less UV light, such as on cloudy days.
This adaptability of the photochromic lens offers several advantages for snowboarders. First, it eliminates the need to swap lenses or take multiple goggles with you, which is convenient in changing weather conditions. You can wear one goggle that adjusts to the environment, allowing you to continue snowboarding uninterrupted.
