How to Choose Google Lens for Snowboarding

In this show I am going to be explaining to you the different lenses that you are going to want to be picking for the goggles that you have just chosen. As you can see with this goggle and with most other goggles you can pop the lenses out and you have the ability to change them depending on the weather and the lighting that is outside. As you can see right here this is a yellow lens and this lens could be used for night time or for when there is low light, if it is foggy out, this is going to help with the depth perception when it is really really hard with the darker lens to see if there is bumps and grooves in the snow and if you are wearing a goggle it is almost impossible to see because everything blends white together and you can't see any depth perception. These yellow lenses help a lot when you are trying to ride when it is poor lighting and it is foggy out and even at night time they are highly recommended as opposed to using clear lenses which you can use but these are really good as an all around generic poor light lens for your goggle. I definitely recommend picking this lens up and not just having one lens for your goggle. Moving on, when it is really bright light out there are a few different colors that different goggle companies make that you want to have a darker lens. With lighter lenses what you will find is that they are letting too much light in and at the end of the day it will seem that you didn't wear goggles at all. So you will want to pick a darker goggle. They are typically mirrored in the front but they are of a darker shade. This allows for less sunlight to come into your eyes just making it so it is similar to a darker pair of sunglasses as opposed to a lighter pair. You want to have something darker protecting your eyes from the sun because when you are skiing and snowboarding there is sun coming down and reflecting off the snow too so there is more sunlight coming into your eyes and you really do need to have a dark pair of lenses. Now these two lenses right here, the yellow lenses for bad lighting and for dark if you need and the darker ones for when it is really sunny out, these are your two optimum lenses to choose if you want to pick up two generic lenses for your goggles and you can interchange them and you will be good to go for all different weather types and lighting.
