The "Category - CAT" number indicates the level of light transmission in the visible range. How clearly and extensively you can perceive your surroundings largely depends on the lens you choose.
Lens TROOP EVO
You've found the perfect pair of ski and snowboard goggles, but can only wear them in bright sunshine?
To ensure you have the right view even in cloudy conditions, snowfall, fog or changing conditions, you can now equip your TROOP EVO or TROOP EVO OTG with extra lenses and enjoy perfect vision in less than two seconds with our SnapTech Magnet System. You can choose between the low light lens, blue, yellow, purple or black lens. Whatever the condition, there is a suitable lens.
For a better understanding of the different lenses please see the table below. The categories are standardised and indicate approximately how much light is transmitted through the lens and for which weather conditions it is suited.
