Historically, there have been two snow goggle lens shapes: cylindrical and spherical. The toric lens is the new kid on the block that essentially combines the two shapes.
TORIC LENS
Glare - The curve of the toric lens has fewer surface points for UV rays to penetrate Fog - Medium volume between your face and the lens making it sufficient for combating fog Vision - Most optically true lens choice
WWW.SPORTRX.COM INTERCHANGEABLE LENS
INTERCHANGEABLE One Lens LENS
Most optimal lens for Less moving parts each condition results in less wear Quick and easy lens with seasons of use swaps on demand Don't have to carry extra lenses
WWW.SPORTRX.COM INTERCHANGEABLE LENS
Skiers and snowboarders encounter a range of weather conditions on the mountain. There are versatile lenses suited for different weather conditions, but no lens can optimally perform in all conditions.
Brands developed quick lens interchange systems for having the right lens at all times – even with gloves on. Some shredders prefer one lens. The choice is yours.
WWW.SPORTRX.COM LENS TINT
Every lens tint varies in brightness or darkness. The amount of light that passes through the lens is the Visible Light Transmission (VLT). VLT falls along a range between 0% and 100%. The higher the VLT, the more light allowed through the lens. Lens tints fall into three categories:
Bright Conditions – The darkest lenses allowing the least light through the lens. For blue bird days, often feature a mirror coating. VLT range from 5% - 20%.
Medium / Bright Conditions - For days when the sun plays hide and seek behind cloud cover. These lenses have a medium copper, rose, or brown base tints with a light to no mirror. VLT ranges from 11% - 35%.
Low / Medium Conditions - For overcast days on the mountain, yellow and amber base tints are supreme. These deliver the best contrast, enabling you to clearly see the bumps in the snow up ahead. VLT ranges from 50% - 90%.

Contrast is what allows you to see the bumps and edges in the snow and find your lines easier. A snow goggle lens boosts contrast by filtering the colors of the light spectrum. The lens filters out 'noisy' colors while boosting the light- sensitive colors that help you to see detail.
Each brand has their own contrast-enhancing lens technology that gives you a leg up on the competition. Oakley has PRIZM, SMITH has ChromaPop, Dragon has Lumalens, SPY has Happy Lens, Anon has SONAR, and the list goes on...

PRESCRIPTION INSERT
WWW.SPORTRX.COM RX SOLUTION
SportRx makes prescription inserts that fit in any goggle on the market! Here is why its the prescription solution for your next ride:
Anti-Fog - Prescription snow goggles fight fog far better than the going OTG (over the glasses). The Rx insert sits flush against the shield of the goggle and away from your face. Better heat management lets the anti-fog coating work twice as hard for you.
Comfort - Our inserts are far more comfortable than wearing eyeglasses underneath your goggles. For one, there is no temple pressure from the arms of your glasses; and two, you don’t have to mess with adjusting your glasses as they move around inside your goggle.
Safety & Damage Control - Regular eyeglasses are not the safe when you're bombing down slopes at 40+ MPH. What’s more, if you take a spill, you risk damaging your only pair of everyday eyeglasses, or even worse, losing them in a sea of snow.
