What are ski or snowboard goggles with magnetic lens?
This type of goggles comes with at least two interchangeable lenses that attach to the frame via a system of magnets. By swapping one lens for another, you always get vision adapted to the ambient light. It could hardly be simpler. It only takes a few seconds to switch lenses without having to remove your gloves or mittens. Most interchangeable magnetic goggles come with two lenses. Most often, it is a category 1 lens for cloudy days and a category 3 lens for sunny days, so you are covered for most weather conditions.
Interchangeable lens ski goggles VS photochromic ski goggles
Whether magnetic or photochromic, all ski goggles protect your eyes from the sun’s rays, the wind and also the snow when it starts falling. Needless to say, a pair of interchangeable magnetic lens goggles is neither more nor less effective than photochromic ski goggles. Each option has its own characteristics, advantages for some, drawbacks for others.
Features of interchangeable lens goggles
Magnetic lens goggles allow skiers and snowboarders to choose, according to their sensitivity, the lens that best suits the light conditions. The different tints available provide great flexibility. So, whether the forecast is for sunshine, mixed weather or cloud cover, the advantage is being able to anticipate conditions by only taking along the lenses suited to the forecast.
Features of photochromic ski goggles
Photochromic lenses react to ultraviolet light. When exposed to strong sunlight, they automatically darken and they lighten when brightness decreases. This ensures constant adaptation to weather changes. There is therefore no need to manually change lenses according to the light conditions. However, the transition from light to dark tints can take from a few seconds to a few minutes. This may not be ideal during a sudden change in brightness. In such a rare case, interchangeable lens ski goggles have the advantage.
So, how do you choose your men’s and women’s magnetic ski goggles?
Efficient and affordable models from Cairn
Well-known and respected on the ski goggle market, Cairn offers several models including its best-seller, the Magnetik, which with its spherical panoramic lens, features anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings.
Smith’s best-sellers
Among the different models in the range of Smith magnetic lens ski goggles, you’ll find the Smith I/O Mag, the 4D Mag, as well as the Squad Mag. The latter offers optimal visibility with its cylindrical double lens, enhanced with ChromaPop technology for exceptional clarity. It stands out for its stylish design and its magnetic lens system which, as with all Smith models, is highly reliable.
Weather protection with Anon
In addition to offering high-quality ski goggles, Anon stands out with its MFI magnetic system which allows you to attach a neck warmer or face mask directly under the frame. This ensures every skier or snowboarder benefits from excellent protection against the cold. Of course, the brand has thought of everything, thanks to its active ventilation system that prevents fog from forming on the lens. Anon confirms its mastery in combining functionality with design.
OTG goggles (compatible with prescription glasses)
Many ski goggles are OTG, meaning they are compatible with prescription glasses. At Smith for example, in addition to being OTG, the 4D Mag adapts to your style and preferences thanks to its interchangeable straps, available in several colour options.
Category 1 spare lenses for fog or white-out days
Available to purchase separately, a spare category 1 lens provides UV protection and ensures clear, quality vision when the weather is bad and the sky is overcast.
Who hasn’t regretted putting on their skis when the mountain is shrouded in thick fog? To avoid the inconvenience of poor visibility in mist, make sure you’re equipped with a category 0 lens.
