Snowboard goggles come in a few main styles and shapes. The first choice is between framed or frameless goggles. Traditionally, goggles have always been framed, but over the last decade, a fashion of frameless snow goggles has emerged. This has been further diversified by the addition of different lens shapes. Spherical and cylindrical lenses produce either a clean or bubble-eyed look, and allow the rider to really customise their style. Whether you’re riding during the peak of winter or enjoying a sunny spring day, snowboarding gear must adapt to the conditions.
Most snowboard goggles are made from injected TPU to create a strong but flexible plastic frame backed by comfortable foam padding. The foam padding ensures a snug fit, keeping you comfortable on the slopes all day. The lens itself is usually stiffer, made from polycarbonate that is treated to be scratch and abrasion-resistant. Many snowboard goggles feature interchangeable lenses to deal with light changes, as well as changeable straps for added customisation. These are available in a versatile one size that suits most riders.
Dope and Montec utilise a dual-layer technology to reduce refraction for better clarity and reduced glare from the sun, resulting in less eye-strain and better snowboarding experience. Advanced anti-fog coatings help keep your vision clear, even in challenging weather conditions.
The Visible Light Transmission. VLT is rated on a percentage scale. The lower the VLT rating, the darker the lens, and the better suited to bright-light conditions it is. At 25% or lower are great for bluebird days, and 50% ratings are good for flat light days. Greens, blues, and blacks usually have lower VLTs, while reds often have medium. Yellows and pinks often have the highest ratings and are designed for flat-light riding.
Dope and Montec offer snowboard goggles with a pop-out function for simplicity, while other brands may go with a magnetic attachment. This style of lens is easy to change and takes no time, making it ideal for quick-swapping. Though all changeable lenses are simple once you get the hang of them. With their innovative design, Dope and Montec goggles combine functionality with standout looks.
If you are choosing a reputable brand, the biggest question is of style. Framed or frameless, cylindrical or spherical lens. Once that choice is made, looking at lens tech and colours is the next step. These are designed to perform in both bright sunshine and low-light conditions. A flexible frame molds comfortably to your face, ensuring a secure fit.
