Buy Snowboard goggles
Are you going on a winter sports trip soon and want to buy new snowboard goggles? Then you've come to the right place at Sideways. Don’t underestimate the importance of good snowboard goggles! The goggles protect your eyes against cold, wind, and potential falls. Especially in poor conditions, you are better off with a pair of ski goggles. There is no difference between ski and snowboard goggles. However, there may be differences between men's and women's 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 bright UV rays shine directly on your eyes, it can have unpleasant consequences. During winter sports, this danger is even greater because the snow reflects UV rays. Additionally, UV rays penetrate thick clouds. Therefore, wearing a well-sealing snowboard goggle is a must during your winter sports activities.

What to consider when buying a snowboard goggle?
When buying a snowboard goggle, there are several important aspects to keep in mind. Firstly, the fit is essential—make sure the goggle fits well on your face and is comfortable to wear, without pinching or shifting while snowboarding. Additionally, the lens color is important, as 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 scratch-resistant coatings for clear visibility and durability. Furthermore, the ability to swap 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 every type of weather, you should use a different lens in your goggle. Now, this is not always possible. There are three categories of lenses: Category 1, 2, and 3.
The brighter the sun, the darker the lens should be. During a clear blue sky, you’ll have the best visibility with ski goggles that have 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 direction, similar to the appearance of a ball. This allows the lens to better conform to the shape of the face, providing a wider field of view without distortion. Spherical lenses also reduce glare and reflections, providing clear visibility 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 slightly cheaper than spherical lenses and can still provide good visibility, but they typically have a narrower field of view and can cause more distortion at the edges of the field of 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 adjusts to changing light conditions. These lenses have photochromic properties that react to UV light, causing the tint of the lens to darken when more UV light is present, such as on sunny days. Conversely, the lens lightens when there is less UV light, such as on cloudy days.
This adaptability of the photochromic lens offers various advantages for snowboarders. First, it eliminates the need to swap lenses or bring multiple goggles, which is convenient in changing weather conditions. You can wear one goggle that adapts to the environment, allowing you to snowboard uninterrupted.
