Smith SQUAD XL - Ski Goggles - Men's - hornet flood/chromapop sun black + Spare Lens

TECHNOLOGY:

ChromaPop™: This technology helps you see detail and colour beyond normal capabilities. ChromaPop filters two specific wavelengths of light that cause colour confusion. By doing this the lens delivers greater definition, more natural colour, and unmatched clarity to help you to see more detail. This technology offer you optimal visual comfort and protection against impacts, while reducing glare.

FOG-X: The Fog-X lens treatment employs a hydrophilic, micro-etched surface to absorb moisture and disperse it over a wide surface area to prevent fogging. Since the FOG-X is physically carved into the lens, it can’t be wiped away like other anti-fog coatings.

CARBONIC-X: The Carbonic-X outer lens material is individually moulded to offer optimum scratch and impact resistance, increased visual acuity and enhanced contrast sensitivity. The Carbonic-X material meets Class 1 optical standards.

TLT: When light passes through a medium it refracts, i.e. changes course. If left uncorrected, this refraction can cause visual distortion and eye fatigue. This technology straightens out the incoming light rays by progressively tapering the lens from the optical centre toward the peripheral view. What this means for you is that you see with 100% accuracy and maximum comfort.

RESPONSIVE FIT: This design lets you adjust the lens to fit to the curve of your face. Each face is different. By reducing the quantity of material and creating a flexible latex architecture, Smith frames act like a suspension system that adjusts to the millimetre to your unique facial structure, guaranteeing a precise and comfortable fit.

LENS CONSTRUCTION:

Cylindrical: Cylindrical lenses are built on a base curve only in the X (horizontal) axis to fit to the face. They are relatively flat, so do not distort your view. They tend to be worn by regular skiers, especially for piste skiing.

CATEGORIES:

Category 3 solar lenses provide a perfect filter for most light conditions. Your solar lenses will filter 83 to 92% of sunlight. They offer excellent eye protection from sun rays and glare for most of your activities. This protection is particularly effective in conditions of strong sunlight (during summer, holidays by the sea, on the beach and winter sports).

Category 1 solar lenses are slightly tinted, and filter 20 to 57% of sunlight. This type of index is recommended for low sunlight, for example in winter or for cloudy days. This type of index is strongly discouraged in very sunny conditions.
