Avoid cold wind to hurt eyes.
Avoid ultraviolet rays to burn eyes.
No fog in the glasses.
No harm to eyes if you fall down.
Take two typical kinds of lenses of snow goggles as examples
Cylindrical lenses and spherical lenses. Cylindrical lenses are more common in the past, while spherical lenses are relatively new in the past two years. Spherical lenses are superior to cylindrical lenses in several aspects.
The vision is wide because the design of the spherical surface is more ergonomic. The view is also much larger, for the space between the lens and the human eye is greatly increased due to the protrusion of the spherical surface. This will bring several benefits: The air coming from the large ventilation holes has sufficient circulation space, which will make it difficult to cause fog. The spherical surface increases the distance between the lens and the human eye, which also prevents the vapor of the human eye from quickly encountering the colder lens having an anti-fog effect.
The spherical lens design is similar to the shape of the human eyeball, so when the eyeball rotates, the line of sight is perpendicular to the lens at any angle so that it reduces the possibility of parallax. For the lens is far away from the human eye, it will be more difficult to touch the eyeball even an unexpected impact happens.
Of course, in terms of aesthetic effects, spherical lenses look even cooler. The prominent spherical lens's focusing effect makes the surrounding scenes focusing on the lens so that the lens effect scenes will appear on the lens. Therefore, spherical lenses are of course the most recommended when buying snow goggles, but spherical lenses are generally more expensive.
The ski goggles equipped with spherical lenses have a wider view, generally 1.4MM thick, but the convex parts of spherical lenses are easy to scratch. There are two types of cylindrical lenses, one is 1.4MM and the other is 0.8MM. The impact resistance of different thickness lenses is different. International standard of the thickness requirements for the lens of ski glasses is at least 1.27MM.
Make a research before starting a new product
Import new design product from manufacturers directly - Many manufacturers have the ability to develop new items. Select competitive products and source.
Provide new design for your manufacturer: Understand your product completely. You can contact the manufacturer and provide your special needs, such as which elements you want to add in the goggles. If your products are the same with massive products in the market, then you will not have enough competition. So do research people’s needs and aesthetic, then integrate those points in your products.
