Smith Photochromic Snowsports Goggles

Understand lens shapes

• Cylindrical: Curve horizontally, but are flat vertically. More affordable, but can cause more glare and slightly limit peripheral vision.
• Spherical: Curve horizontally and vertically for better peripheral vision, less distortion and less glare. Cost more than cylindrical lenses.
• Toric: Curve in both directions, but with a subtler vertical curve. They offer improved optical clarity and reduced distortion—at a higher price point.

Light transmission (VLT)

VLT is the percentage of light that passes through the lens to reach your eyes

• Bright conditions: Look for less than 25%
• Partly cloudy: Aim for between 25%-50%
• Overcast, stormy or low-light: Look for 50% or higher
• Night riding: Use clear goggles or 80%-100%
