Ski goggles with high or low light transmittance have their own advantages and disadvantages. The choice should be made based on the specific usage environment and personal needs.
Ski goggles with high light transmittance: In cloudy or overcast weather, lenses with high light transmittance allow more light to pass through, providing better visibility, helping skiers see the snow trails and obstacles more clearly, thereby improving safety. In addition, they can help identify changes in terrain, which is conducive to improving skiing skills. However, in strong sunlight, lenses with high light transmittance may cause glare and affect vision, so they may not be suitable in sunny weather. 1
Ski goggles with low light transmittance: In strong sunlight, lenses with low light transmittance can better filter strong light, provide a more comfortable visual experience, and protect the eyes from direct sunlight. This type of lens is more practical in strong light conditions and can effectively reduce eye fatigue.
Selection advice: Make a comprehensive consideration based on the actual skiing environment and personal needs. If you often ski in cloudy or overcast weather, ski goggles with high light transmittance may be more suitable; while in strong sunny weather, ski goggles with low light transmittance are more practical. In addition, some ski goggles are designed with replaceable lenses, which can be replaced with lenses of different light transmittance according to weather changes to adapt to different skiing environments.
