So that you waste as little time as possible, many manufacturers rely on sophisticated interchangeable systems. Depending on the model, you can choose between clip-, click- or magnetic systems. They allow you to change the disc in a flash to lose as little time as possible on the slopes. For those for whom this effort is too great and who can live with minimal compromises in visibility, there are of course also all-rounder goggles that provide a good view in any weather conditions. In addition, most goggles have a ventilation system so that the lenses do not fog up during the descent and your field of vision remains clear.

THE RIGHT LENSES

Another thing you should pay attention to when buying your ski goggles is the shape of the lenses. Goggles with cylindrical lenses can be recognized by the fact that they are only curved horizontally, but not vertically. These models are usually cheaper, but can also filter light a bit worse than goggles with spherical lenses. These, on the other hand, are curved both horizontally and vertically, which, in addition to a larger interior volume, also provides somewhat better ventilation and a more expansive field of vision.

The tint of the lenses also plays a crucial role, as it is decisive for the light transmission, which is often indicated with the VLT value. The VLT value here stands for the percentage of light passing through the lens. The lower this value, the less light can pass through the lens of the glasses. Such glasses are ideal especially on sunny days, because they prevent you from being blinded. If it is rather cloudy or foggy outside, a higher VLT value is recommended so that you can still see enough and it does not get too dark for you on your descent. Especially in heavy light conditions, good visibility is the key, as the risk of injury is increased here. Snow masses pushed together often result in dangerous hills, which you can see very badly or only very late, especially in fog.
