Design & Features

What design features you should look for before buying your next pair of goggles.

gettext.alts.spherical_lens

Spherical lens

The spherical style curves both vertically and horizontally offering a wider field of view with less distortion and glare compared with cylindrical style goggles. While usually more expensive than a pair of cylindrical style goggles, it is technically a superior option.

gettext.alts.cylindrical_lens

Cylindrical lens

The cylindrical style only curves horizontally and as such has a flatter lens. Unfortunately, a downside to this design is that it encourages more distortion and glare compared with spherical lenses. This style of lens is usually found in lower priced goggles.

gettext.alts.ventilation_airflow

Ventilation & airflow

All goggles will provide a good degree of ventialtion and airflow to not only keep you cooler, but to also prevent fogging of the lenses which will ensure your vision is kept clear at all times.

gettext.alts.interchangeable_lenses

Interchangeable & replacement lenses

Changeable weather conditions also bring changes to lighting conditions which means goggles you were wearing in the morning are no longer suitable for your afternoon session. Fortunately, many brands, including Oakley, now feature interchangeable lens systems which enables you to quickly swap lenses rather than changing to another pair of goggles.

Lens Technology & Tints

What lenses are available and what's right for you and the conditions.

gettext.alts.overcast_conditions

Overcast & flat light conditions

Category 1

80% to 46% light transmission

Often only useful in flat light or overcast conditions where you need to enhance levels of contrast. Not recommended for sunny conditions.

gettext.alts.variable_conditions

Variable conditions

Category 2

45% to 18% light transmission

The most popular and versatile choice for ski goggles. They offer good levels of light restriction during sunny conditions yet let enough light through if conditions become overcast.

gettext.alts.bright_conditions

Bright conditions

Category 3

17% to 8% light transmission

Perhaps more popular for very sunny conditions where more glare may be expected.

gettext.alts.extremely_bright_conditions

Extremely bright conditions

Category 4

8% to 3% light transmission

The darkest lens possible for use in extremely bright conditions (or very high altitude) only. These could prove to be too dark if conditions become slightly overcast.

Lens colours

Lens colouring can make all the difference under different light conditions.

Tip: Choose an iridium or mirrored finish to help boost contrast and reduce glare!

Low & flat light conditions

gettext.alts.ski_mx_yellow_gold

Yellow or Gold

Suitable for extremely low light conditions where enhanced detail and high contrast will be required. Generally unsuitable for brigther conditions.

gettext.alts.ski_mx_orange_amber

Orange, Persimmon or Amber

More versatile than a yellow lens as can be used in slightly brighter conditions. Useful for boosing contrast, definition and depth perception.

gettext.alts.ski_mx_pink

Rosa

A pink tint is great for lower light conditions where high contrast may be required.

gettext.alts.ski_mx_clear

Borrar

General protection from the elements, however, clear lenses have no tint and are only suitable for very low light conditions.

Bright light conditions

gettext.alts.ski_mx_black_grey

Black or Dark Grey

Most suitable for bright to extremely bright conditions as they block out most light. True colour perception due to the neutral tint but don't really assist with contrast enhancement. Often available as a polarised lens.

gettext.alts.ski_mx_brown_bronze

Brown or Bronze

Perhaps a better choice of lens over black or dark grey as they're great for bright or partly cloudy conditions and also add a layer of contrast enhancement. Often available as a polarised lens.

gettext.alts.ski_mx_red_vermillion

Red, Rose or Vermillion

This is a perfect all round lens tint with the red hue offering increased colour perception and definition. A solid mirror finish is perfect for sunny conditions whilst flash mirror is more suitable for lower light.

gettext.alts.ski_mx_blue_sapphire

Blue / Sapphire

Great for medium bright to very bright conditions especially with a mirrored or iridium coating. Blue lenses are often combined with a brown or bronze tint which provides better performance during brighter days.

gettext.alts.ski_mx_green

Verde

Great for medium bright to very bright conditions especially with an iridium coating to help cut glare and improve contrast. The neutral lens tint provides a truer colour representation.

Prizm™ is a revolutionary lens technology, developed by Oakley labs alongside Oakley athletes, that dramatically improves contrast and visibility over a wide range of weather and light conditions. Now with the Prizm™ lens, every bump, mogul and contour is clearly visible, giving you full confidence while on the slopes. See the difference for yourself...

Gafas de esquí y MX graduadas



Desgraciadamente, debido al diseño y a la superficie de la lente, es imposible fabricar unas gafas con tu graduación. Afortunadamente, hay 2 grandes opciones disponibles para asegurar que puedas ver con claridad.

OTG (Over the Glasses) goggles

gettext.alts.otg_goggles

OTG or 'over the glasses' goggles are designed to provide enough space inside the goggles (normally by cutaways in the frame) for prescription glasses to be worn comfortably ensuring crystal clear vision for the wearer. Another benefit of this type of goggle is that they normally have a larger lens which ensures greater peripheral vision.

Prescription inserts

gettext.alts.prescription_inserts

Many goggle manufacturers also provide prescription inserts/adapters, these have a frame that's similar in style to a regular pair of prescription glasses and can be glazed in a similar way. These adapters then fit snuggly inside your goggles ensuring crystal clear and corrected vision.
