what is vlt in ski goggles 6fiftyfive Ice Blue Unisex Orion Lens Frameless Magnetic Ski Goggles

- REPLACEMENT LENS ONLY -

Designed by our team of engineers and ski instructors for the best experience in the snow. All 6fiftyfive ski goggles have an innovative multilayer lens technology that gives you 5X Better Clarity and 3X Improved Anti-fogging, compared to normal double lens ski goggles.

• 5X CLARITY + 3X ANTI FOGGING VS NORMAL LENSES - thanks to the multilayer lens technology

• CHANGE YOUR LENS IN SECONDS - : no more struggling to get your lens swapped for different light conditions. 8 pairs of N45 rare earth magnets allow easy and fast lens switching while holding your lens in place. Personalize your ski goggles with the original 6fiftyfive spare lenses: different colours and VLT (Visible Light Transmittance)

• ORION LENS - Multilayer Lens derived from NASA's space suits visors technology with both lens laminated together. FULL REVO Anti-Scratch & anti fog coating, 100% UV400 rays protection, wide view, no reflections or distortion. Higher contrast, 5X clarity, 15% wider field of vision and superior anti-fog performance compared to normal double lens ski goggles.

How a multilayer lens works

Double lens ski goggles are made of two lenses, one dark outside, one clear inside. Between the two lenses there is a small air gap. This allows to keep the inner lens at a higher temperature than the one outside, reducing the risk of fogging. In our ski goggles this is achieved through several layers of plastic material in a single, thicker, multilayer lens. An analogy can be made with the old double windows of the houses in the 80s (the double lens masks) in comparison with the multilayer windows of today (our ski goggles). The result is better anti-fog, better contrast and durability.

This because:

1. the different layers of plastic are more efficient than the air gap in increasing the temperature in the inner part of the lens, reducing the risk of fogging
2. The space between the two lenses in double lens masks over time fills with impurities and cannot be cleaned. In ours this problem does not exist
3. The 2 lenses create reflected images if you look at the sun, this phenomenon is called ghost images and refractions, The multi-layer construct of our lens does not have this problem.
4. inside our mask we have added an anti-fog film to increase the anti-fog capacity (a thin layer of transparent plastic), the double lenses usually have an anti-fog spray applied in the inner lens (you can see if they have a transparent plastic film inside that must be removed before first use). the spray is much more delicate and deteriorates over time
