Spare Lenses
Like a Hallmark card, Electric has a lens for every occasion. With upwards of ten different flavors and multiple tint/chrome options these, lenses cover the full spectrum, literally. Low light, bluebird or dead grandma-we've got you covered. Let Electric enrich your vision, whatever the circumstance.
Use the right lens during the right conditions for Optimum Visual Performance
- Electric's standard base lens.
- Bronze tint enhances shadow contrast.
- Can be used in bright sun to cloudy conditions.
- Grey tint reduces glare and doesn't distort colored light.
- Polarized film cuts glare by filtering diffused light.
- Best used in bright sun conditions.
- Brown tint filters blue light for increased contrast.
- Polarized film cuts glare by filtering diffused light.
- Can be used in bright sun to cloudy conditions.
- Rose tint filters blue light for increased contrast.
- Best used in flat light conditions (cloudy/snow).
- Smoke tint transmits all colored light evenly.
- Can be used in partly cloudy to snowing conditions.
- Orange tint enhances contrast and depth perception.
- Can be used in partly cloudy to snowing conditions.
- Blue light filters white light for increased contrast.
- Best used in flat light conditions (cloudy/snow).
- Yellow tint filters blue light for increased contrast.
- Best used in flat light, snowing conditions.

Lens & Technical Specifications
Only the Death Star's plans were more secretly guarded than the formula for the construction of these lenses. The stolen blueprints have now fallen into Electric's hands allowing civilians to reap the benefits of the highest quality in polycarbonates. These mold injected and individually cut lenses provide superior anti-fog, anti-reflective, and anti-scratch protection while setting the standard for a long lasting, durable lens. View the slopes with uncompromised clarity and definition through an Electric lens. Rest assured the rebellion was not in vain.
Spherical Lens Construction
-
1. Outer Lens
- The outer lens is mold injected polycarbonate mask.
- Offers 100% UVA/UVB protection.
- The outer lens receives anti-scratch and mirror coating.
-
2. Inner Lens
- The inner lens is heat pressed to match the spherical shape of the outer lens to assure proper optics.
- The inner lens functions as a thermal barrier creating a dead space of air between it and the outer lens.
- No fog coating and anti-reflective coating are applied to the inner lens.
-
3. Exploded View Of Lens
- The gasket is applied between the inner and outer lens to create an impenetrable barrier for air and moisture.
- The two lenses bonded together product a sealed dead space that acts as a thermal barrier keeping the inner lens warm and dry, protected from the outside elements.
Cylindrical Lens Construction
-
1. Outer Lens
- The outer lens is mold injected polycarbonate sheet.
- Offers 100% UVA/UVB protection.
- The outer lens receives anti-scratch and mirror coating.
-
2. Inner Lens
- The inner lens is heat pressed to match the cylindrical radius of the outer lens to assure proper optics.
- The inner lens functions as a thermal barrier creating a dead space of air between it and the outer lens.
- No fog coating and anti-reflective coating are applied to the inner lens.

Anti Fog
Each lens is coated with hydrophobic anti fog coating. This absorbs moisture and keeps your lenses from fogging. The EG2 has been coated with an enhanced anti fog coating. This helps prevent fogging in even the most extreme conditions.
Anti Scratch Hard Coating
All Electric lenses have been coated with an anti scratch hard coating.
Anti Reflective
The EG2 is the only Electric lens to feature anti reflective technology. This coating absorbs light and reduces glare improving vision.
Lens and Frame Ventilation
Electric goggle lenses and frames are designed to provide optimum ventialtion and breathability for all potential riding situations.
- 1. Frame Vent Foam
Made of polyurethane, Electric's vent foam allows for maximum breathability while keeping excess wind and moisture out. - 2. Vent Slot and Vent Foam
Vent slots have been place in the optimal location on all Electric lenses to promote proper air flow. - 3. Rear Vent Slots
Electric's inner lens vent hole pattern allows for maximum air flow. - 4. Inner Lens Breathability
This small and essential design element allows the pressure to change at different altitudes inside your lens while keeping moisture out.
Frame Features
The quality and construction of all Electric frames is essential to the advanced class of the product. Each Electric goggle frame has been crafted with the rider's performance and comfort in mind. This sophisticated structural system is the backbone of Electric goggles.
- 1. Frame & Nose Bridge Slits
Frame and nose bride slits allow for maximum frame flexibility and provide you with optimal fit and comfort. - 2. Strap Articulation
Featured on EG1, EG5, EG1S, EG5S and EG1K this feature allows the strap to articulate without pulling the frame off your face when wearing a helmet. - 3. Thermoplastic Urethane
Retains maximum flex in extremely low temperatures, is abrasion resistant, and has a high tensile strength. - 4. Face Foam
Triple layer face foam, used for comfort, fit, and moisture wicking is standard on all Electric goggles. The final layer, (brushed poly fleece).
