Going natural

Goggle manufacturer Scott has shifted away from using obvious tints in its Scott Natural lens series. At first glance, the lenses appear to be a neutral grey, but the concept is to use subtle colors to achieve clarity and contrast without adding a dominant color. “The trick is educating the public that contrast is the key to ski or ride,” said Gabe Glosband, director of marketing at Scott. “The assumption would be that it’s just a grey lens, but it’s a very pleasing lens to wear and gives you plenty of clarity and contrast. We’ve had a really strong response. It produces a neutral look that’s less offensive to the eye.”

Three Scott Natural lenses are available for the 2009-10 season: the Natural Transmitter (48 percent VLT), the Natural Light (35 percent VLT) and the Natural Elevation (15 percent VLT). While the Natural Light lens was new for 2008-09, the Natural Transmitter and Natural Elevation are new for next season.
