The first kind of spare you might want to consider is a low-light lens – in fact many brands will include one as standard. Low light lenses are typically rose, green or yellow. They’re super bright but unlike clear lenses – which are only really designed for night riding – they protect you from glare and offer more definition in a whiteout. These should be your choice for those tree runs when it’s still snowing hard.

The downside of mirrored lenses is that they can scratch easily and therefore require careful looking after. A super dark tint like the black one above actually offers even more sun protection without the delicate coating, but should be saved for the brightest of days.

Having selected your lens, pop it back in the frame – if it’s a traditional system rather than quick release, start at the nose piece and work your way around.

Whatever tint you opt for, it’s always best to clean your lens using the microfibre bag in which your goggles came.
