Buying Guide
How to Choose Ski & Snowboard Goggles
In Oregon, lens tint matters more than frame style. Most Mt. Hood days are overcast — flat light conditions where a rose or amber lens dramatically outperforms a dark lens. If you only buy one lens, make it a mid-VLT all-rounder.
VLT (Visible Light Transmission)
Low VLT (5-20%) for sunny days. Mid VLT (20-50%) for all-around use — your daily driver for Mt. Hood. High VLT (50-80%) for storms, flat light, and night skiing.
Best Lens for Oregon
Rose or pink (VLT 25-40%) is the PNW workhorse. It enhances contrast in flat light, which is 60-70% of Mt. Hood skiing days. Add a dark lens for the occasional bluebird day and you're covered.
Lens Change Systems
Magnetic and lever-lock systems let you swap lenses in seconds. Worth it for Oregon where conditions change mid-run. Smith ChromaPop and Anon MFI are popular quick-change systems.
FAQ
What goggle brands do you carry?
We carry Smith and POC goggles. Both offer excellent lens quality and quick-change systems suited for Pacific Northwest conditions.
What lens color is best for Mt. Hood?
Rose or amber with VLT 25-40%. Most Mt. Hood days are overcast, and these tints enhance contrast in flat light. A dark lens (VLT 8-15%) is good to have for sunny spring days.
