POC Clarity lenses are tuned for different light conditions, skiing environments, and levels of visual intensity. Choosing the right lens involves more than matching a tint to the weather. Consider the Clarity intensity level, Visible Light Transmission (VLT), lens category, and expected light conditions to find the best option for training, racing, or everyday skiing.

This guide explains POC Clarity intensity levels, lens options, lens shapes, and construction so you can better understand how each lens is designed to perform.

Quick Navigation: Clarity Intensity | Lens Options | Understanding VLT | Lens Shapes | Lens Construction

POC Clarity Intensity Levels

POC tunes Clarity lenses at different intensity levels to support specific skiing and racing needs. The intensity level describes how strongly the lens emphasizes contrast and visual detail.

Universal: Tuned for balanced visual comfort throughout a full day of skiing.
Intense: Increases visual detail to help skiers make decisions about line choice and speed.
Highly Intense: Provides POC's strongest contrast emphasis, helping racers read snow and terrain at race speeds.
POCito: Designed specifically to provide comfortable vision for young, developing eyes.

Race Place Tip: VLT and Clarity intensity describe different parts of lens performance. VLT tells you how much visible light passes through the lens, while the Clarity intensity level describes how strongly the lens is tuned to emphasize contrast and visual detail.

POC Clarity Lens Options

Lens	Intensity	Category	VLT	Best Conditions
Clear / No Mirror	Universal	CAT 0	87%	Very low light and night skiing
Artificial Light	Highly Intense	CAT 1	73%	Artificial light, night racing and very low light
Cloudy Violet	Highly Intense	CAT 1	53%	Cloudy, overcast and low-light conditions
Partly Sunny Blue	Highly Intense	CAT 2	20%	Partly sunny and variable conditions
Sunny Gold	Intense	CAT 3	13%	Sunny and bright conditions
Sunny Silver	Highly Intense	CAT 3	10%	Sunny and bright conditions

Understanding VLT

Visible Light Transmission (VLT) is the percentage of visible light that passes through a goggle lens. Higher VLT lenses allow more light through and are better suited to darker conditions. Lower VLT lenses reduce incoming light and are better suited to brighter conditions.

Higher VLT: More light reaches the eye for low-light, overcast, night, or artificial-light conditions.
Lower VLT: Less light reaches the eye for bright and sunny conditions.
Lens Category: Provides another way to classify how much light a lens transmits, from CAT 0 for very high transmission to CAT 3 for bright conditions.

POC Goggle Lens Shapes

POC uses different lens geometries to balance goggle profile, field of view, optical comfort, and fog management. The lens shape is built into the goggle design and is not interchangeable between models with different frame geometries.

Cylindrical Lens

A cylindrical lens curves along the horizontal axis while remaining relatively flat vertically. This allows for a lower-profile goggle design while still supporting a very wide field of view.

Toric & Spherical Lens

Toric and spherical lenses curve both horizontally and vertically. The larger lens surface supports peripheral vision in multiple directions, while the shape more closely follows the eye and maintains a more uniform distance between the eye and lens to help minimize optical distortion. The additional space between the lens and eye also supports airflow and fog management.

Race Place Fit Note: Lens shape is determined by the goggle model. Always choose a replacement lens made specifically for your POC goggle frame rather than selecting by tint or VLT alone.

POC Goggle Lens Construction

POC goggle lenses use multiple functional layers rather than relying on the visible mirror finish alone. These layers work together to control glare, improve durability, help resist fogging, and protect the lens surface.

Mirror Finish

The mirror finish reflects light away from the eye to help reduce glare. Different mirror tints serve a functional purpose and are not used only for appearance.

Hydrophobic & Oleophobic Treatment

Hydrophobic and oleophobic treatments, including POC's Ri-Pel™, help keep water, dirt, sweat, salt, oil, and other contaminants from adhering to the lens surface, making the lens easier to keep clean.

Anti-Scratch & Anti-Reflection Treatments

Lens surfaces may include anti-scratch and anti-reflection treatments. Anti-scratch coatings help protect the lens surface from damage, while anti-reflection treatments help control unwanted reflections and glare.

Double-Layer Lens Construction

POC goggles use a double-layer lens construction to help minimize fogging and provide additional eye protection. The 1.8 mm outer lens also increases protection against penetration.

Anti-Fog Treatment

Anti-fog treatments are used within the double-layer construction to help reduce condensation and maintain clear vision as temperature and activity levels change.

Clarity Night Vision

POC Clarity Night Vision lenses use additional anti-reflective coating layers to reduce glare from artificial floodlights, helping racers maintain visual focus during night training and competition.

Description & Features

The POC Zonula Goggles combine an exceptionally wide field of view with easily interchangeable toric Clarity lenses for versatile vision from ski racing and training to everyday mountain use. Two lenses are included: Clarity Highly Intense Partly Sunny Blue CAT 2 for variable conditions and Clarity Intense Cloudy Coral CAT 1 for cloudier, lower-light conditions.

Soft frame outriggers let you handle the goggles and change lenses without touching the lens surface, making it easier to adapt when conditions change. The frame and strap are constructed using 47% bio-based materials by weight, while triple-layer face foam and silicone strap grippers provide a comfortable, secure helmet interface. Ri-Pel, anti-fog, and anti-scratch treatments help maintain clear vision throughout the day.

Lens & Technology

Clarity Lenses

POC Clarity technology adjusts the color spectrum to enhance the visual experience in specific environments and light conditions. The Zonula includes Partly Sunny Blue and Cloudy Coral lenses, giving skiers two options for adapting to changing mountain light.

Extra-Wide Field of View

The large toric lens provides an exceptionally wide field of view and optimal peripheral vision, helping skiers see and react to terrain, course features, and potential hazards earlier.

Interchangeable Lens & Frame Outriggers

Soft frame outriggers make the goggles easy to handle without touching the lens. Squeezing the outriggers simplifies lens removal, making it easy to switch between the included lenses as conditions change.

Triple-Layer Face Foam

Multiple layers of foam mold to the contours of the face for a comfortable, secure fit during training, racing, and long days on snow.

Silicone Grippers

Silicone grippers on the inside of the strap help keep the goggles securely positioned against a ski helmet.

Bio-Based Materials

The frame and strap are constructed using 47% bio-based materials by weight, balancing strength and durability with reduced environmental impact.

Ri-Pel Treatment

The hydrophobic and oleophobic Ri-Pel treatment helps protect the lens from dirt, water, sweat, salt, oil, and dust while making the surface easier to clean.

Anti-Fog & Anti-Scratch Treatments

An anti-fog treatment on the inner lens helps reduce internal fogging as activity increases, while an anti-scratch treatment on the outer lens reduces the risk of surface damage for clearer vision.
