Lens compatibility

The Electric EG2 replacement lens is compatible with all Electric EG2 goggle frames, offering quick and easy lens interchangeability. This does not fit the EG2.5 or EG2-T models, which have their own specific replacement lenses. The EG2-T replacement lens is compatible with all Electric EG2-T and Electric EGG Goggle frames.

The Electric EG2 replacement lens offers a range of tint options to suit various weather conditions. From clear lenses to mirrored BRose tints, you can find a suitable replacement for any lighting condition while skiing or snowboarding. The lenses are spherical polycarbonate, known for their lightweight, strong, and shatter-resistant qualities. They also provide 100% protection from harmful UVA, UVB, and UVC rays, ensuring your eyes remain protected in bright, sunny conditions.

When considering a replacement lens, it's important to understand Visible Light Transmission (VLT). VLT measures the amount of light that passes through the lens. A lower VLT percentage improves performance in bright conditions by blocking more light, while a higher VLT percentage enhances optical clarity in low-light settings by allowing more light through the lens. Electric California offers a range of VLT options to cater to different lighting conditions you may encounter.

The EG2-T replacement lenses also feature a super anti-fog coating, preventing your goggles from fogging up during use. This ensures a clear field of vision while skiing or snowboarding, regardless of the weather conditions. The lenses are also coated with scratch-resistant coatings, extending their durability and longevity. Additionally, the mirror finishes on the lenses not only add style to your goggles but also provide extra protection from the elements.

Lens design

The Electric EG2-T replacement lens is a spherical (rounded) polycarbonate lens that offers 100% protection from the sun's harmful UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. Polycarbonate is known for being lightweight, strong, and shatter-resistant while delivering 100% optical clarity. The lens's toric design mimics the curvature of the human head, resulting in superior peripheral vision, reduced distortion, and improved clarity on the slopes.

The Electric EG2-T replacement lens features a range of different tints to suit various lighting conditions. The clear lens, with 82% VLT, is suitable for night skiing, while the Honey tint, with 61% VLT, is designed for low-light conditions. The Yellow Blue Chrome tint, with 68% VLT, enhances contrast and depth in low-light settings, while the Yellow Green tint, with 53% VLT, is suitable for low light to moderately cloudy conditions. The Photochromic Blue Chrome tint is a blue mirror lens that automatically lightens or darkens according to the amount of sunlight, providing a full tint change within seconds.

When choosing a lens tint, it is important to understand Visible Light Transmission (VLT). VLT refers to the amount of light that passes through the lens. A lower VLT percentage blocks more light, resulting in better performance in bright conditions, while a higher VLT percentage allows more light through, improving optical clarity in low-light conditions.

The Electric EG2-T replacement lens is interchangeable, allowing users to quickly and easily swap out different tints to suit varying lighting conditions. This versatility ensures optimal performance and visual comfort in a range of environments.

Visible Light Transmission (VLT)

For example, a Sunny Onyx Perceive lens has a rating of 6% VLT, making it very dark and ideal for bright, sunny days. In contrast, an S0-rated lens, with a VLT of over 80%, is lightly tinted and designed for cloudy, foggy, or night-time use. Anon's Perceive Variable collection, with a VLT range of 21%-34%, is a good mid-range option for partially cloudy days.

When choosing a lens, it is important to consider the diversity of visible light being transmitted, as this will impact visibility and protection. For example, while inexpensive sunglasses may block out the sun, they can also over-filter the light, resulting in darker vision. Higher-quality sunglasses typically filter out the blinding rays of the sun while maintaining the natural brightness of the surroundings.

The colour of a lens is also related to its VLT, with different colours designed to enhance visibility based on varying weather patterns and lighting conditions.

Lens tints

The Electric EG2 ski and snowboard goggle lenses come in a variety of tints, including clear, yellow, BRose Pink Chrome, BRose Red Chrome, BRose Blue Chrome, and mirrored BRose tints for blue-bird days.

BRose lenses are a combination of Electric's two best-performing base tints: Bronze and Rose. They are considered the best all-around lens tints as they raise contrast and increase depth perception while reducing glare from the sun. The VLT (Visual Light Transmittance) of the BRose lenses varies between 20% and 38%, with a lower percentage indicating better performance in bright conditions by blocking more light.

Yellow lenses are also a popular choice for snow days, although some users have reported issues with fogging. Clear lenses are another option, providing optical clarity in low-light conditions.

The Electric EG2-T replacement lenses are compatible with all Electric EG2-T and Electric EGG Goggle frames, offering a wide selection of tints for different light conditions. These lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is known for being lightweight, strong, and shatter-resistant.

Lens care

To ensure your Electric EG2 lenses last a long time, proper care is essential. Here are some tips for maintaining and caring for your EG2 lenses:

Cleaning

When cleaning your EG2 lenses, use a soft microfiber cloth designed for lens cleaning. Avoid using paper towels or tissues, as they can scratch the lens surface. Gently wipe the lens with the cloth to remove any dust, fingerprints, or light debris. If the lens has more stubborn dirt or smudges, consider using a lens cleaning solution or spray designed for optical lenses. Spray the solution onto the microfiber cloth, not directly onto the lens, and then wipe the lens gently.

Storage

Proper storage of your EG2 lenses is crucial for their longevity. Always store your lenses in a clean, dry, and scratch-resistant case when not in use. This will protect them from scratches and other damage. Ensure the case is well-padded and designed to securely hold the lenses in place, especially if you plan to travel with them. Avoid exposing the lenses to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can affect their performance and durability.

Handling

Always handle your EG2 lenses with care. Avoid touching the lens surface with your fingers, as oils and dirt from your hands can leave smudges and affect visibility. Hold the lenses by their edges and avoid applying excessive pressure, as this can cause warping or damage. Be cautious when wearing or removing the goggles to avoid accidental drops or impacts that may damage the lenses.

Anti-Fog Measures

To prevent fogging, which can obstruct your vision during sports activities, consider applying an anti-fog treatment to your EG2 lenses. These treatments create a barrier on the lens surface that prevents moisture buildup and fogging. Additionally, some EG2 lenses feature a hydro-phobic coating that absorbs moisture before fog can form on the inner lens, so be sure to look for this feature when purchasing replacement lenses.

Replacement

Finally, remember that replacement lenses for the Electric EG2 are readily available. If your lenses become scratched, damaged, or fog excessively, consider replacing them. This will ensure you maintain optimal visibility and performance during your ski or snowboard activities.
