The single most important part of a ski goggle is undoubtedly, the lens. Different lens technologies and treatments can be valuable in different conditions. Take a look at some of our favourites:
Dragon are a leader in sports eyewear and their LumaLens technology is perfect for the slopes. Optimising colour and contrast, LumaLens enhance visual clarity and adapt to different lighting environments, making them perfect for a long day of skiing, where the sun can be in and out all day. This Dragon lens aims to amplify natural colour perception, making it easier to spot changing contours in the snow, which can sometimes look flat and washed out.
By filtering out harsh light rays and reducing distortion, the chance of eye fatigue after a long session is reduced. LumaLens’ accuracy will give you greater freedom of judgement, hence improving your performance. Advanced anti-fog coating is installed on the LumaLens, helping reduce misting in rapidly changing temperatures.
Available in a range of colours and tints, LumaLens goggles can be tailored to your environment. If you ski in brighter conditions, we suggest you opt for a darker lens, like the LumaLens Dark Smoke. Whereas in greyer, overcast conditions, a lighter lens such as the LumaLens Rose would be more beneficial.
Julbo REACTIV is one of the most effective light adaptive lenses on the market. Renowned for precision, Julbo have created a lens which is not only the fastest changing available but amplifies contrast and enhances depth perception exceptionally. This is crucial on the snow, as obstacles and uneven textures can be difficult to spot in low-light or overexposed environments without the appropriate equipment. The lightweight build means they can be worn all day and will not weigh heavy or sit uncomfortably on the face, you may forget you are even wearing them!

The choice between a sports and luxury ski goggles boils down to more than just a matter of style.
Sports goggles from brands such as Dragon and Bolle are absolute stalwarts in the winter sports industry and have encountered every possible outcome when designing a snow specific lens. The technical innovation in these goggles, such as the aforementioned LumaLens technology from Dragon is sure to have an exponential benefit to your experience on the slopes.
If you are all-out-performance, we would suggest choosing a sports specific brand. The marginal advantages that the years of incremental innovation have created can play a significant role in your output. If you are trying to beat your record time, a quality pair of goggles with crisp colour and contrast perception may be the split-second difference you need.
However, this is not to say that ski goggles from iconic luxury brands such as Gucci and Bottega Veneta are lacking in functionality. Although their aesthetic is second-to-none, the luxury fashion houses have combined their knowledge of fashion and allure with optical experts, designing collections that are not just stunning pieces of equipment, but carry out their duties to an excellent standard. It goes without saying that if you are looking to turn heads faster than a black diamond run, luxury goggles will be your go-to.
If you are an inexperienced skier, who perhaps prioritises your aesthetic as much as your performance, we cannot recommend a pair of luxury ski goggles enough. The truth is that you will not benefit from the additional technology in sports specific goggles as much as somebody with years of experience, so why not look as chic as possible instead?
