Goggles GIRO Article II Black & White Flow with VIVID Carl Zeiss Ember (S2) and Infrared (S1) mirrored lenses

GIRO Article II Black & White Flow winter goggles come with two mirrored VIVID Carl Zeiss lenses—Ember (S2) and Infrared (S1)—engineered to deliver optical clarity and adaptable light transmission for alpine and resort skiing and snowboarding. The dual-lens system provides contrast enhancement and reduces glare in a range of lighting conditions, while the mirrored finishes on both lenses help manage reflected light. The fit and ventilation are designed to work with helmets and active winter use, making these goggles a versatile option for riders and skiers who need reliable vision across changing weather.

Advantages

The paired Ember (19–42% VLT, S2) and Infrared (50% VLT, S1) VIVID Carl Zeiss lenses offer improved contrast and color definition to help identify terrain features and surface variations. Interchangeable lenses let you switch quickly between higher and lower light transmission levels without tools. The mirrored coatings reduce stray reflections and glare on bright days, and the lens optics are optimized to maintain a wide, distortion-free field of view. The frame and strap system are configured for helmet compatibility and steady fit during active use.

Suitable for

• Alpine skiing on groomed runs and varied light conditions
• Resort snowboarding where quick lens changes are required
• Daytime use in bright sunlight (Ember S2 mirrored)
• Lower-light, overcast or mixed conditions (Infrared S1 mirrored)
• Helmet-equipped riders seeking wide field of view and ventilation

How to use

Select the lens appropriate for current light conditions—use the Ember (S2) mirrored lens for bright, sunny environments and the Infrared (S1) mirrored lens for overcast or lower-light situations. To change lenses, follow the manufacturer’s lens-swap procedure: gently release the lens retention points, remove the current lens, align the replacement lens into the frame, and secure it until clicks or retention tabs engage. Adjust the strap to fit comfortably around or over a helmet, and ensure proper seal against the face to optimize airflow and minimize fogging.

Usage recommendations

When switching lenses on the hill, handle the VIVID Carl Zeiss optics by the frame edges and store unused lenses in a protective pouch to avoid scratches. For best anti-fog performance, keep vents clear and avoid placing wet goggles inside sealed containers. Clean lenses with a soft microfibre cloth and a lens-safe cleaner; avoid abrasive materials and excessive pressure on the mirrored surface.
