How to find out what ski goggle you have to order replacement lenses (4/7/2009)

We often get asked "My lenses are scratched. Can I order new lenses for my goggles". The answer is yes for most brands. Most of the brands of goggles we carry have interchangeable lenses so that you can buy a new lens when yours gets scratched or you can interchange them for various lighting conditions. But how do you know which goggle you have? Most brands don't have the style name written on the goggle like sunglass frames do. If you have a Smith goggle, the goggle does have the frame code printed inconspiciously on the frame. If you are holding the frame so you are looking at the front lens, on the lower right or left hand corner underneath the lens on the rubber frame part, there will be a letter/number code in raised lettering matching the frame material. For instance, it may say S2. If you email us with the code on the goggle, we can tell you what goggle frame you have. For Bolle, the name of the frame is usually written on the upper right hand corner of the lens. For instance, it will say X9 Vermillon. X9 is the frame name and Vermillon is the color of the lens. You can always email us if you aren't sure what goggle you have, and if you can send us a picture of the goggle, even if it is with a camera phone, we can usually tell just by looking at it what goggle you have.
