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 hits your eyes directly, it can have unpleasant consequences. The risk is even greater during winter sports because the snow reflects the UV radiation. Additionally, UV rays penetrate through thick clouds. Therefore, wearing a well-fitting snowboard goggle is a must during your winter sports.

We have selected a beautiful collection of ski and snowboard goggles for you from various amazing brands such as Spy, Smith, Aphex, and Anon.

What to consider when buying a snowboard goggle?

When purchasing a snowboard goggle, there are several important aspects to keep in mind. Firstly, the fit is crucial - make sure that the goggle fits well on your face and is comfortable to wear without pinching or shifting while snowboarding. In addition, 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 work well for sunny conditions. Also, consider anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings for clear vision and durability. Furthermore, the option to interchange lenses can be handy if you often snowboard in changing conditions. Finally, choose a stylish goggle that matches your personal taste and snowboard outfit.

Category lens 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. On a clear blue sky, you will have the best visibility with ski goggles with a lens from category 3.

Goggle with cylindrical or spherical lens

The main difference between a snowboard goggle with a spherical lens and a cylindrical lens is the shape of the lens. A spherical lens has a curved shape in both vertical and horizontal directions, similar to the appearance of a ball. This allows the lens to conform better to the shape of the face, providing a wider field of view without distortions. Spherical lenses also reduce the risk of glare and reflections, ensuring clear and sharp 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.

Photochromatic snowboard goggles

A photochromatic lens is ideal in a snowboard goggle because it automatically adjusts to changing light conditions. These lenses contain photochromatic 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, like on cloudy days.
This adaptability of the photochromatic lens offers several advantages for snowboarders. First, it eliminates the need to swap lenses or carry multiple goggles, which is convenient in changing weather conditions. You can wear one goggle that adapts to the environment, allowing you to snowboard without hindrance.
