FAQs

Q: How is the Article II different from the Contour?

A: Both are premium adult Giro goggles with VIVID lens technology. The Article II uses a cylindrical lens and Expansion View frame, the Contour uses a more advanced toric lens shape with EXV+ for an even wider field of view. The Article II is the strong mid-premium pick, the Contour is the flagship.

Q: Is the magnetic lens system secure for hard riding?

A: Yes, the magnets are paired with mechanical latches that lock the lens in place. Magnets handle the alignment so swaps take seconds, latches hold the lens through tree runs and crashes.

Choosing the Right Lens Tint

Lens tint is measured by VLT % (Visible Light Transmission). Higher VLT = brighter lens = better for low light and night skiing. Lower VLT = darker lens = better for bright sunny days.

VLT 60-90%. Clear or light tint. Best for night skiing, cloudy days, and ski club.

VLT 25-50%. Medium tint. All-purpose, works in most conditions.

VLT 5-20%. Dark or mirrored. Best for bright sun and high-altitude bluebird days.

Spherical vs. Cylindrical Lenses

Spherical lenses curve in two directions - better peripheral vision and less glare. Cylindrical lenses curve in one direction and are typically found on more affordable goggles. Both work well; spherical is an upgrade in clarity.
