How to choose your ski mask ?

We are aware of the harmful effects of the sun on the skin but are not yet sufficiently aware of the effects on the eyes. Choosing your mask is to ensure flawless visual comfort. 4 elements to take into account : The view, the UV protection, the comfort and the anti-fog treatment.

--------------------------------------------------------

View

Depending on the time, the brightness, the choice of the color of the screen will be important. More the sun shines, more it will be necessary to opt for a dark screen and conversely more the time will be greyish  more the screen will have to be clear. The whole thing is to overcome the overflow or lack of brightness. The main colors :
   
  • Green tint : accentuation of the natural green of the landscape    
  • Yellow tint : contrast creation    
  • Gray tint : maintaining the original colors    
  • Brown tint : absolute comfort for the eyes

The use of a mask with photochromic screen is also recommended, indeed this technology allows to move from one protection category to another in no time. All in order to adapt the protection according to needs.

--------------------------------------------------------

4 UV protection categories

Just like the skin, overexposing one's eyes can have devastating effects. Thanks to the cornea, UVB rays are totally absorbed however the UVA can reach the crystalline lens and can cause serious lesions. Good to know : It should be noted that more glass is dark, less the light enters in the eye.

Category 1 : attenuated solar brightness. Daily use

Category 2 : average sunshine

Category  3 : strong sunshine. Use for sea and mountain

Category 4 : very stong sunshine. Use for sea, mountain and high mountain

--------------------------------------------------------

Comfort    

  • The size : the masks are equipped with an adjustable strap to promote the adhesion to the face. A mask that is too big will force over-tightening and you will feel discomfort in the nose and forehead. A mask that is too small will create an excessive curvature and the foam inside the mask will get into your eyes

  • Foam : to avoid being embarrassed, the foam is used inside the mask to marry the face. There is a density of single or double density foam to ensure optimum comfort

--------------------------------------------------------

Anti-fog treatment

Treating fogging is important because it can create discomfort during activity and greatly impede visibility. There are several treatments:    

  • Basic screen : the anti-fog treatment is inside    
  • Dual screen : thermal filter created by an insulating air pocket    
  • Dual screen with ventilation : anti-fog treatment and maximum ventilation
