There is a wide range of lens tints designed specifically for ski goggles, and an equally confusing array of different names, ranging from Smith's Ignitor Mirror to Adias's Space lens. Essentially, however, the following broad categories cover most lens tints:

	Vermillion/Rose Considered to be the universal lens tint for ski goggles. Ideal in moderate and poor light as it increases contrast, but when a mirror coating is applied the lens is also suitable for brighter conditions.
	Yellow Perfect for flat light conditions, especially fog, as it enhances contrast by eliminating blue light.
	Orange Perfect for overcast/low light conditions, as it enhances contrast and depth perception. A hybrid between yellow and vermilion lenses.
	Cat. 4 Category 4 lenses are very dark (3-8% light transmission), so are only suitable for use in incredibly bright conditions, such as high-altitude use.
	Polarised Usually grey or brown - eradicates glare caused by light-rays reflecting off flat surfaces. Therefore, they are particularly useful for glacier-skiing and use in bright conditions.
	Photochromic Also known as Transitions or Reactolite - light-adjusting lenses that darken when exposed to UV. Therefore they are very flexible for changeable light-conditions. In ski goggles, photochromic lenses tend to be amber or rose based, rather than the grey/brown photochromic lenses found in sunglasses.
