      WHICH LENS TINT IS RECOMMENDED FOR A SNOWBOARDING OR SKIING TRIP?

      Most people who shop for goggles for the first time often believe that the lens tint is a nice decoration feature, so they choose a colour they like. However, lens tints do serve more than just an aesthetic purpose. They play a crucial role in enhancing vision and adapting to different lighting conditions in specific environments. By understanding the various types of lens tints available, you can choose the most suitable one for your skiing or snowboarding trip. It's essential to consider factors such as light conditions, fog, and the intensity of sunlight to ensure optimal visibility and eye protection. Selecting the right lens and tint can improve colour definition and depth perception and reduce eye strain, ultimately enhancing your overall experience on the slopes.

      It's important to note that personal preferences and specific conditions can also influence the choice of lens tint. Some individuals may find specific tints more comfortable or visually appealing, so it's advisable to try different options and see which one suits you best. Specific lens tints provide these qualities in an environment with lots of light, e.g. an area with lots of snow from which light reflects. Of course, you could also encounter sites that are not that bright. So, here is the lowdown on popular lens tints.

      Yellow, gold and amber lenses - This lens tint is most suitable for environments with reduced light and possibly fog. Using this colour lens, you can filter out any blue light present and view shadows better. As such, you can enjoy enhanced vision in poor light conditions.

      Pink and copper lenses - For poor light conditions but with no fog, pink and copper lenses could be the more suitable choice for your goggles. While they are less effective in foggy environments than yellow hue lenses, they are good when dealing with darker environments.

      Dark brown, grey, and green lenses - As a general rule of thumb, the darker lenses are more suitable for brighter environments. If you encounter lots of light, choosing dark brown, grey, or dark green will ensure your eyes get spared the strain intense light could cause.

      CHOOSING THE RIGHT GOGGLES FOR SKIING OR SNOWBOARDING

      High-quality ski and snowboard goggles have many built-in features, including lumens, iridium, red ion, and unisex goggles for all ages. Quality snow goggles last a lifetime, with replacement and spare lenses available. 

      Other things to consider are durability and fit/comfort. We only stock snow goggles made from high-quality materials designed to withstand the demands of skiing or snowboarding. Quality goggles can last long, ensuring you get value for your investment. Ensure the goggles fit well and are comfortable to wear for extended periods. They should provide a snug fit to prevent snow or cold air from entering and impairing your vision.

      Remember to try on different goggles and consider your personal preferences and specific needs before making a final decision. Please speak to the knowledgeable staff at Rapid Surf & Ski (we all snowboard or ski) to get further recommendations based on the specific conditions of your skiing or snowboarding trip.
