THE SKI GOGGLES WITH SELF-TINTING LENSES

In the world of winter sports, innovations are always welcome, and currently, ski goggles with self-tinting lenses are making waves. In this blog post, we dive into the technology that makes these goggles an essential companion on the slopes and explore the benefits they offer for demanding skiers.

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE MAGIC

The technology behind self-tinting lenses, also known as photochromic technology, is an impressive combination of materials science and light physics. Here is a detailed description of this fascinating technology:

Material Composition: Self-tinting lenses are made from photochromatic materials, typically metal-organic compounds, silver halides, or so-called indolino-spironaphthoxazines. These materials are distinguished by their ability to react to specific wavelengths of light, particularly ultraviolet (UV) light.

Conversion of Light Energy: The photochromatic molecules in the lenses absorb UV light and convert this energy into a chemical reaction. This process affects the structure of the material and alters its ability to transmit light.

Reaction to UV Radiation: When exposed to sunlight, which contains UV light, the photochromatic molecules in the lenses begin to change their structure. This process causes the lenses to darken, allowing less light to pass through.

Return to Original State: Once the UV radiation diminishes, the molecules in the lenses gradually return to their original state. This means the lenses lighten and allow more light to pass through again.

Speed of Reaction: The reaction speed of self-tinting lenses is impressive. Adaptation to changing light conditions usually occurs within seconds or minutes, ensuring that the goggles quickly respond to shifting lighting.

Long-term Durability: The photochromic technology remains stable throughout the lifespan of the goggles. During daily use and over numerous light cycles, the lenses retain their responsiveness.

Versatile Applications: In addition to ski goggles, photochromic lenses are used in various applications, from everyday glasses to industrial uses such as automotive glass. This underscores the versatility and broad acceptance of this technology.

ADVANTAGES OF SELF-TINTING LENSES:

Adaptability to Light Conditions: Self-tinting ski goggles automatically adjust to changing light conditions. In intense sunlight, the lenses darken to reduce glare, while in overcast conditions, they lighten to ensure clear visibility.

Comfort and Convenience: You only need one pair of ski goggles for all conditions, as self-tinting ski goggles are suitable for both sunny and stormy days due to their adaptable properties.

LARRY PhotochromIC

We have recently added the LARRY Photochromatic system of self-tinting ski goggles to our range. LARRY Photochromatic is currently available in four cool designs: Pink | Real Mountains, Blue | Real Mountains, White meets Pink, and Black meets Blue.


The feedback we've already received from you has been overwhelming—thank you so much for that! If you want to check out the new LARRY Photochromic, act fast: the ski goggles are selling like hotcakes!
