What is the best goggle lens color? It is mostly personal preference, but here are a few attributes to certain lens tints that can help you make the best choice for your eyes and skiing conditions.

General Lens Color Guide

*Blue light limits the eye's ability to focus and creates blurriness, especially in snowy environments. Many lenses are designed to reduce the amount of blue light that reaches the eye.

Lens Color	Benefits
Yellow/Orange	Provides greater clarity in fog and low-light, high contrast and depth perception by blocking blue light.
Pink/Red	Improves depth perception, provides the best contrast, reduces eye strain (alters perceived color).
Blue/Purple	Reduces glare, helps define contours and color perception.
Green	Good all purpose tint, even color perception, dims glare while brightening shadows, improves contrast in low-light.
Brown/Amber/Bronze	Ideal in variable conditions, enhances contrast and depth perception, cuts the haze for crisp vision.
Gray/Black	Reduces eye fatigue, provides true color perception while minimizing glare in bright-light conditions, block the brightest rays.
Mirror Coatings	Greatly reduce glare - the base tint lends the greatest visual benefits to the lens while the mirror tint is for glare protection. Blue mirror specifically reflects away blue light, increasing visual acuity while minimizing glare.

Lens Categories

Category	VLT Range	Tint	Conditions
0	80-100%	None or Very Light Tint	Very low light or night skiing
1	46-79%	Light Tint	Low light or overcast days
2	18-45%	Medium Tint	Effective in average sunlight conditions
3	8-17%	Dark Tint	Perfect for most skiing conditions and provide excellent protection from the sun
4	3-8%	Very Dark Tint	Only necessary in extremely bright conditions, like hiking glaciers or high altitudes

VLT - Visible Light Transmission

VLT is a measurement that specifies the percentage of light coming through the lens and reaching your eyes. A totally clear lens for dark conditions typically have around 90% VLT and a very dark colored lens with mirror for sunny conditions may have down to 10% VLT. Most all round lenses will be found between 30 to 60%.

SHRED goggle lenses are available in different tints and Visible Light Transmission (VLT) levels to provide the right amount of light transmission for changing mountain conditions. Choosing the right lens can improve visibility and help you read snow texture, terrain changes, and course conditions more clearly.

This guide compares SHRED CBL 2.0 and standard goggle lenses by VLT, lens category, and recommended light conditions so you can choose the right lens for racing, training, or everyday skiing.

SHRED Goggle Lens Comparison

Lens	Lens Type	Conditions	Category	VLT	Recommended Use
Clear	Double	Night / Very Low Light	CAT 0	81%	Clear lens for night skiing and very low-light conditions.
Yellow	Double	Cloudy / Low Light	CAT 1	67%	Yellow lens designed to improve visibility in fog, clouds, and low-light conditions.
CBL 2.0 Nighttime	Double	Night / Very Low Light	CAT 1	43%	Designed to enhance contrast and clarity for night skiing and very low-light conditions.
CBL 2.0 Ice	Double	Variable / Partly Sunny	CAT 2	21%	Contrast Boosting Lens with a blue multilayer mirror designed to enhance contrast and definition in variable light.
CBL Plasma Mirror	Double	Sun / Variable	CAT 3	15%	Contrast Boosting Lens with a green multilayer mirror for increased clarity in sunny and variable conditions.

Race Place Tip: VLT tells you how much visible light passes through the lens. Higher VLT lenses allow more light through for dark or overcast conditions, while lower VLT lenses reduce incoming light for brighter conditions.

Understanding VLT

Visible Light Transmission (VLT) is the percentage of visible light that passes through a goggle lens. A higher VLT allows more light to reach your eyes and is better suited to night, low-light, and overcast conditions. A lower VLT reduces incoming light for brighter conditions.

CAT 0: Very high light transmission for night and very low-light conditions.
CAT 1: High light transmission for low-light, cloudy, foggy, or night conditions depending on the specific lens.
CAT 2: Moderate light transmission for variable and partly sunny conditions.
CAT 3: Lower light transmission for sunny and brighter conditions.

SHRED CBL 2.0 Lens Technology

CBL 2.0 (Contrast Boosting Lens) technology is designed to increase contrast and image definition on snow. Enhanced surface detail can help skiers and racers identify changes in terrain and snow conditions more clearly when choosing a line.

CBL lenses are available with different tints, mirror finishes, and VLT levels for different light conditions. Choose the specific lens based on the expected conditions rather than mirror color alone.
