Picking Ski Goggle Lenses

Video Transcript

"In this section I'm going to be giving you a run-through on the lenses of the goggles that you're choosing. If you'll notice here, I've popped out the top part of the lens. Goggles now have removable lenses. Depending on the different weather conditions outside, you're definitely going to want to match your lenses to the light that's outside so you can see and so you won't be not enjoying anything just because you're not going to be able to see anything. It's going to be too dark; you're not going to be able to see the certain bumps in the run. So what I've done here is popped out the top of it. As you'll notice there are little notches inside that fit to smaller notches that are on the inside of the frame. The frames are soft enough and they're made out of rubber so you can stretch them and pull them and you're not going to have to worry about it breaking. So this first lens right here is going to be geared towards fog and you could use it for night riding, also. The yellow lens is going to help with depth perception when it's really foggy out or when there's really a low light and you can't see the certain features or the bumps in the snow. Since everything is white, sometimes with a darker lens everything will blend together, or even if you don't wear goggles at all, everything's going to blend together just because of the lighting on the snow. So it's really important to have a yellow lens within all your lenses just so you can see and be able to still perform when there's low light and when it's foggy out. So this lens right here is going to be a little bit darker. It's of an amber color. It's going to help out when it's really sunny out. You're not going to want to use a clear lens or a really light lens because it's going to be really bad for your eyes, it's actually going to magnify everything and make it just so your eyes are just burnt by the end of the day. You're not going to be enjoying yourself when you're done with skiing for the day and it's going to just make it so you're going to dread going up there. So for sunny days you're definitely going to want a dark lens just to keep all the sun and all the sun rays off of your eyes and reflect everything. They make a few different mirror colors. They make a whole bunch of different colors depending on preference and the way you want your goggles to look that are of a darker lens. So, you can pretty much go with all your personal preferences, just make sure that you have a dark lens for the sunny days."
