FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the Contour RS goggle?
The primary advantage is its refined, slightly smaller fit optimized for smaller facial structures, combined with excellent peripheral vision and advanced lens technology for clarity in various conditions.
How do I switch lenses?
The goggles feature a magnetic-assisted lens system. Simply pull the old lens away from the frame and align the new lens with the magnetic points, pressing gently until it clicks into place.
What conditions are the included lenses best suited for?
The VIVID Haze lens has a light transmission of 8-18% (Lens Category S1-3) and is suitable for a range of conditions. The included VIVID Infrared lens is specifically designed for low-light or flat-light situations.
Is this goggle suitable for adult women?
Yes, the Contour RS is specifically designed with women and individuals with smaller facial structures in mind, offering a refined silhouette and comfortable fit.
How does the EVAK vent system prevent fogging?
The EVAK vent system uses expanded EVA foam that is not only lightweight but also helps to manage moisture and air circulation, preventing fog buildup on the inside of the lens.
Can I use these goggles with my ski helmet?
Yes, the Contour RS is designed to be helmet-compatible and should integrate well with most standard ski and snowboard helmets.
What does 'toric lens shape' mean for performance?
A toric lens shape is inspired by the curvature of the human eye, offering optical clarity and expansion of your field of view, allowing you to see more of your surroundings with less distortion.
Troubleshooting
Goggles fog up excessively.
Ensure the EVAK vents are clear of snow or debris. Allow the goggles to air dry completely after each use. Avoid touching the inside of the lens, as oils from your skin can affect the anti-fog treatment.
Lens is difficult to change.
Ensure the lens and frame are clean and dry. Align the lens carefully with the frame's magnetic points and apply even pressure. If resistance is met, do not force; re-align and try again.
Goggles feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the main goggle strap for a secure fit. If the overall size feels incorrect, the Contour RS may not be the ideal fit for your facial structure; consider trying other models.
Vision appears distorted or blurry.
Check that the correct lens is installed and that it is clean. Ensure the lens is properly seated in the frame. If the issue persists, the lens may be damaged or have a manufacturing defect.

Strap Adjustment: Use the adjustable goggle strap to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the strap sits evenly on your helmet if applicable.

Care Instructions:
Cleaning Lenses: After each use, gently wipe the lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth (like a microfiber goggle bag). Avoid using abrasive materials, tissues, or your gloves, as these can scratch the lens coatings.
Fogging Prevention: Store goggles in their protective bag when not in use to protect the anti-fog treatment. Allow goggles to air dry completely after use before storing.
Frame Care: Wipe the frame and face foam with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid submerging the goggles in water.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve lens quality and frame integrity.
