Moreover, optical lenses incorporated into the rear lens cannot slip, fogging is significantly reduced and there is virtually zero risk of injury in case of a fall. Cleaning the goggles and the optical lenses is much easier than cleaning a clip-in system, for example.
More than 30% of eyeglass wearers practise sport with no appropriate visual correction; the number of skiers without correction is thought to be much higher. This is because historically, the alternatives for eyeglass wearers have meant a poor compromise. Ski goggles with SK-X® technology promise wholly new possibilities at a highly advanced technical level.
TECHNICAL ENHANCEMENTS
In 2019 we set out to improve our existing system: until then, we had only been able to fit ski and motocross goggles with ‘spherical’ sun protection lenses. However, developments on the sports goggles market over recent years showed more and more toric lens systems being used (the degree of curvature in the protective panels differs both vertically and horizontally).
We responded to this by developing a full-rim adapter system that harnessed the know-how we had gained so far. To re-attach the inner lens with applied optical lenses to the front lens, the full-rim adapter is needed to compensate for curvature differences in the front lens in such a way that the back surface of the adapter is spherical. The inner panel with the optical lenses is finally moulded and affixed to this surface.
