SNOW GOGGLES: SPHERICAL VS CYLINDRICAL LENSES

Snow Goggles are one of the most important snow pieces in a snowboarder and skier’s kit bag. Not only do they protect your eyes from sun glare on those bright bluebird glacier days, but they also give you the tools to still have an incredible shred in a whiteout. Goggles provide enhanced definition and contrast so that you can still see your line whatever the conditions.

This creates less distortion and less glare, while also allowing you to see more with the greater lens surface area. They usually come in large-size frames.
