Snowcraft HIPER Snow Goggle

When looking for a new goggle for the season, it's worth looking beyond the well-known brands. The Snowcraft HIPER snow goggle from 100% is a good example of this. It provides a clear view in powder as well as in the park and on the slopes. The goggle comes with two different lenses, so you don't have to worry about the next cloud.

A practical feature is the simple interchangeable system, which allows the lenses to be swapped without much effort. At the same time, they sit securely in the frame - even if there is a crash or things get a little bumpy. The included goggle sock with separate compartments for goggles and interchangeable lenses is also a pleasant detail that makes transportation much more relaxed.

There are also many different shapes and headbands, so you can find something to suit your own style. The goggle closes well, usually without a "Jerry Gap", stays in place even at high speeds and doesn't whistle.

Anyone who spends a lot of time on their bike in summer probably already knows 100% . So it's all the more obvious that the quality you're used to from cycling also works well in winter.

Valnor Snow Goggle

The slightly cheaper Valnor Snow Goggle is a good alternative if style is the key selling point. It doesn't have interchangeable lenses, but so far I've had no problems seeing the edge of the piste with one lens.

GLENDALE Sunglasses

With sunglasses, as with so many things, you are spoiled for choice. But what makes a good pair of sunglasses? For me personally, good sunglasses have to offer good UV protection on the one hand, and on the other I want to be able to use them for a wide variety of sports. Whether biking, snowboarding or trail running, with the GLENDALE, the company 100% has launched sunglasses on the market that do just that. The GLENDALE combines a great design with state-of-the-art lens and frame technology - perfect for demanding athletes. Thanks to the option of changing the lenses, the glasses can be perfectly adapted to the existing light conditions. The nose pads and adjustable, rubberized temple tips ensure that the glasses stay in place perfectly.

100% Glendale in the test.

With the help of the accompanying snow kit, the sunglasses can be transformed into goggles suitable for skiing and boarding in just a few simple steps. It contains a removable, ventilated foam pad that keeps out snow and wind, as well as an adjustable goggle strap for a secure fit. Thanks to the snow kit, the goggles form an ideal seal with the helmet and prevent air or snow from entering the eye at high speeds. Thanks to the optionally available photochromatic lenses, which adapt to changing light conditions in less than 15 seconds, the correct tint level can always be selected without having to change the lenses.

The glasses are available in different colors and with different lenses. Depending on the lens type, the lenses have different levels of UV protection, from CAT 0 to CAT 3. I tested the GLENDALE with the HiPER Polished Translucent Lavender lens.
