Snow Goggles Lens Chart

We have put together a collection of all the lenses available and their light transmission ratings so you can have an easy time finding the perfect lens for your next snow trip. These guides are all gathered from the manufactures themselves and can change without us knowing. Please use this as a guide only and if you need further help give us a call in the shop on 03 9470 1822 or send us an email with any questions to web@melbournesnowboard.com.au.

Light transmission is important when choosing lenses. 100% would mean you don't have anything between your eye and the light source and 0% means no light can get to your eyes. Choose a low light transmission lens for sunnier days and a high light transmission lens for stormy overcast days.
