Buying Guide & Technology
Understanding Lens Categories: S1 vs S2 vs S3
Lens category (S1, S2, S3) refers to the level of light filtration and is critical when choosing ski or snowboard goggles.
S1 – Low Light / Snowfall / Flat Light
• Higher VLT (lets more light through)
• Ideal for overcast, snowy, or foggy days
• Enhances contrast when visibility is reduced
Best for storm conditions and shaded slopes.
S2 – Mixed Conditions
• Medium VLT
• Suitable for partly cloudy conditions
• Balanced brightness control and clarity
A versatile option for varied alpine weather.
S3 – Bright Sun / High Altitude
• Lower VLT (blocks more light)
• Designed for strong sunlight and clear skies
• Reduces glare at high altitude
Best for bluebird days and intense sun reflection off snow.
Choosing the correct lens category improves terrain reading, reduces eye fatigue, and enhances safety for both skiing and snowboarding.
