Since no lens can be ideal in all light conditions, picking a goggle lens means managing compromise.
Top tips:
UVEX offers two goggles that are enhanced by on-board electronics.
The Uvision Variotronic features the VALiD lens from Alphamicron Inc. that enables wearers to instantly darken the lens 20% at the touch of a button.
The Uvision Electric features a quiet yet powerful exhaust fan that expels warm, moist air before it has a chance to condense on the inside of the lens.
Spherical goggles match the shape of the eyeball, so as the eye sweeps across the inside of the lens the distance between it and the lens remains more constant. The result is an absolutely optically correct lens with enhanced peripheral vision.
This year's race collection consists of three versions of the FP 501, a moto-inspired frame with a huge field of vision, and the venerable Racer, the goggle of choice for 4-event skiers worldwide.
The FP 501 is a great goggle for anyone who wants a larger goggle with a wide field of vision. The Racer is best suited for racing.
The Akari Polarized (pictured left) features a polarized lens, active and passive venting, outriggers to aid helmet compatibility, and hypo-allergenic face foam.
All that at a suggested retail of $80.
UVEX makes a variety of “over the glass” (OTG) frames designed to provide alpine goggle technologies to ALL wearers of prescription glasses, without forcing the purchase of expensive RX upgrades. Find the perfect fit for glasses with small, medium and large frames. Enjoy the winter with confidence knowing that Supravision™ provides the anti-fog technology and Climazone™ provides enhanced, active airflow behind the lens to keep glasses fog free.
UVEX makes more women’s specific frames than any other goggle company. Shorter frame heights make sure that goggles don’t cover the nose when worn with helmets or hats. Increased curvature in the frame shape makes sure goggles fit snug over smaller faces and molded hypo-allergenic face foam keeps sensitive skin protected. Head band clips are included with every women’s model, making sure the goggles are a breeze to take on and off.
The Hurricane is a purebred UVEX performance goggle with a form factor designed for smaller faces. It is a great choice for kids or petite women.
