“For maximum fun on the slopes, you need to choose the proper goggles: so comfortable you forget you're wearing them and tailored to the weather conditions to ensure visual clarity. I think the ideal option is to have one pair of goggles with different lenses that you can easily swap to suit the weather conditions.
Ensure your goggles align snugly with your helmet to avoid any unpleasant drafts on your forehead.
And finally, choose a pair of goggles that appeal to your taste in terms of color and shape."
To navigate through all the technical features, it is a good idea to learn more about the different components of ski goggles. Goggles consist of the following parts: lens, vents, frame, strap, foam and hinges.
HOW TO CHOOSE OPTICAL QUALITY FOR YOUR SKI GOGGLE
Whether you're an occasional or frequent skier, the weather is a factor none of us can control. There are goggles for every type of weather condition, in addition to lenses that adapt to the light.
Ski goggle lenses are cylindrical, spherical or toric.
CYLINDRICAL
Cylindrical lenses provide horizontal goggle curvature; this provides a wider field of vision at the sides.

SPHERICAL
Spherical lenses provide horizontal and vertical curvature, similar to the shape of the retina. This construction helps provide a wide field of vision and reduces optical distortion.

TORIC
The toric lens looks similar to the spherical lens but it has different lateral and horizontal curvatures. This further increases the lateral field of vision and avoids optical distortion as far as possible.

ROSSIGNOL works with the optical expert ZEISS to develop high-performance goggles that provide visual clarity in all conditions.
ZEISS' Sonar Lens technology is a patented high contrast tint specifically developed to improve vision in the snow, enhancing colors, brightness, and contrast. This provides clearer visibility of shadows, textures, bumps, and potential hazards.
This cutting-edge technology allows you to anticipate terrain and improve performance in changing conditions.
A. Choosing the right category of sun protection
All goggles offer 100% protection from UV rays. Visible light transmission (VLT) varies by lens, which can be swapped to provide better visibility in different conditions.
The 4 types of lens:
|
|
RECOMMANDED FOR |
VLT |
| S0 |  NIGHT |
80% - 100% |
| S1 |  CLOUDY DAYS |
43% - 80% |
| S2 |  MIXED WEATHER |
18% - 43% |
| S3 |  SUNNY DAYS |
8% - 18% |
B. Colour
In low light conditions (falling snow or fog), choose a yellow, orange or pink lens which tends to emphasise contrasts.
In sunny conditions, opt for a dark lens for better protection of your eyes.
C. Type of lens
GOGGLES WITH THE ZEISS SONAR LENS TECHNOLOGY:
Optical experts have developed polarised lenses to reduce glare from the reflection of the sun's rays on snow or ice. ZEISS Sonar Lens technology is a patented high contrast tint specifically developed to improve vision in the snow, enhancing colors, brightness, and contrast.

Rossignol’s MAGNE’CLICK technology allows fast lens changes to maintain optimal vision in changing weather conditions. Magnets and clips keep the lens secured to the frame throughout an entire day on the slopes.

HOW TO CHOOSE COMFORTABLE SKI GOGGLES
Now that you know all about the different types of lenses, it's time to consider the comfort of your goggles, determined by the foam, strap and hinges.
First, it is essential to choose goggles with a shape and size that match your face. Goggles should fit snugly and comfortably.
Ski goggles must not pinch around your nose. Make sure you adjust the strap correctly to ensure it’s not too tight.
Some straps have silicone inserts to keep the goggles firmly in place on the helmet.
The density and quality of the foam are important factors to consider. For added comfort, opt for double-density foam incorporating a very soft fleece covering. Triple-density foam, with two thicknesses of foam and a fleece covering, will provide better support.

A hinge type fastening allows the goggles to adapt to the shape of your head to ensure a comfortable and storm-resistant interface with the helmet.
Now that you know how to tailor your goggles to the weather, your face and your preferences, you're ready to enjoy the snow. However, if you want personalized advice, simply call in to our stores or contact our experts online.
