No distortion, no cloudiness, and a clear view that makes you forget you are wearing it.With such high praise, SMITH goggles continue to attract snowboarders all over the world with their high quality and unique technology.Chromapop, which appeared last year, surprised us with its natural color reproduction.And this term, a new lens has appeared."ChromaPop Photochromic" is a combination of dimming (photochromic) and high-contrast lens (chromapop).
The dimming lens, which automatically changes the density of the lens according to the intensity of light, covers from sunny to cloudy weather, and it is popular that you can spend the day comfortably with one lens, but this new lens is a double lens. Chromapop is used for the outer lens and dimming is used for the inner lens.By making the outer lens chroma pop, it has become possible to obtain some effects that make it even more comfortable than the conventional dimming.First, the unevenness of the snow surface has become easier to see than ever before.The Red sensor mirror used for the outer lens until last season also had a high ability to reproduce unevenness and contrast in dim conditions, but it has been changed to a chroma pop that has the ability to reproduce colors that go above it. It has become possible to capture the scenery in a natural, vivid and clear manner.Secondly, the range of weather used has increased.The transmittance of the lens itself is 1 to 1%, which is the same numerically as last season, but even in fine weather due to the addition of the chroma pop characteristic that ensures a clear view in a wider range of weather than a normal lens. It is hard to feel the glare, it is easy to see even in the dark, and it can be used in all ranges.
There is also a reason to make the dimming "inner".When the temperature drops below freezing, the special chemicals of the photochromic lens become difficult to react, and once it becomes dark, it is difficult to return to a light color, but the air layer between the double lenses keeps the inner lens warm. , It can exert the effect of adjusting the shade without being influenced by the outside temperature.Furthermore, the secret that does not fog is also in the inner lens.Fogging occurs when water droplets on the lens surface form a film.The lens absorbs water molecules and suppresses fogging, but SMITH's inner lens is kneaded with an excellent material with high water absorption and has an invisible macro groove engraved on it.This groove increases the surface area of the lens, which increases the amount of water absorbed and prevents fogging.This lens, which allows you to spend all day with a clear view without cloudiness in any weather, must be a must-have once you experience it.
