When it comes to tearing up the slopes, there are few things more paramount than good visibility and clear vision. From choosing your line at the bottom of the bootpack, to weaving turns around groomers, to slashing pow on the deepest days, clarity and contrast are your channels to happiness. That’s where Dragon Alliance’s Lumalens technology comes into the picture.

Constructed specifically to enhance color vividness, increase contrast, allow for better depth perception and reduce eye fatigue, these lenses—offered in 11 different tints—are ready for every type of weather and lighting condition. The technology works by fine tuning the light from the sun as it passes through the lens: uncomfortable UV-blue rays are lessened, while green and red lightwaves pass through without problem, resulting in the slew of aforementioned benefits.
Dragon’s NFX2 goggles with Lumalens technology earned FREESKIER Editors’ Pick for the 2017-18 season.What sets the Dragon’s Lumalens technology apart is its price-point and varied tinting options. Unlike brands with similar color boosting lens tech that up-charge for this effective treatment, nearly every goggle Dragon offers comes standard with Lumalens lenses, from kid’s products to pro models. Replacement lenses can also be purchased individually, so you can hone your lens quiver to your local environment and conditions. All in all, Dragon Alliance’s Lumalens products are so versatile, you’ll have a tough time finding a goggle and lens combination that doesn’t thrive on the slopes.
