POC’s snow-specific optics are designed to sharpen vision, increase comfort and protect your eyes in both bright and variable conditions.
POC Nexal Goggles
Drawing inspiration from racing aesthetics and the sun-protection tech used in summer sports, the Nexal introduces a distinctive zygomatic (aka, cheekbone) cover beneath the lens to increase facial coverage and reduce exposure in harsh conditions. The result is a bold look paired with protection where it matters.
Clear Vision, Minimal Distortion
At the heart of the Nexal is a cylindrical lens equipped with Clarity technology, ensuring sharp vision despite the goggle’s pared-back profile. The cylindrical shape maintains an even distance from the face, minimizing optical distortion and delivering a natural view of the terrain. Lens changes are quick and intuitive, making it easy to adapt to shifting light conditions throughout the day. Frame outriggers allow the goggles to sit closer to a POC helmet.
Comfort Built for Long Days
Triple-layer face foam and a flexible frame conform comfortably to a wide range of face shapes, providing a secure yet pressure-free fit. Ventilation can be easily adjusted on the fly, allowing skiers and riders to fine-tune airflow and manage fogging as conditions change.
Clarity Lens Technology
The supplied Clarity lens is engineered for all-day, all-mountain performance, with colour tuning that sharpens visual detail in specific environments and light conditions. Clarity lens technology works by carefully managing the colour spectrum to create a more balanced and precise visual experience.
Why Blue Light Matters on Snow
The eye interprets colour through rods and cones in the retina, with cones responding to red, green or blue wavelengths. In snowy terrain, where light is abundant and blue wavelengths are slightly amplified, preserving the right balance of colour is critical. While many lenses aim to block blue light, blue wavelengths are essential for reading texture and contrast on the snow’s surface. Developed in collaboration with optics specialists ZEISS, Clarity technology precisely balances blue light against the rest of the spectrum, allowing skiers to read the snow accurately without visual fatigue.
The Clarity Intense Lens
The Nexal’s Clarity Intense lens is tuned for skiers who want strong definition and contrast across the entire mountain. Ideal for all-day use in a wide range of conditions, Clarity Intense delivers enough surface detail to confidently assess lines and terrain, whether carving groomers or navigating variable snow. Alternative Clarity lenses with different tints and mirror options are also available, making it easy to customize your setup for any conditions.
POC Devour Glacial Sunglasses
The Devour Glacial sunnies offer specialized coverage and protection when standard eyewear isn’t enough. By doing a bang-up job of blocking wind and glare thanks to extra eye shields, this is the connoisseur’s choice for high-alpine and deep-winter conditions.
They also look extremely badass. Your mission readiness is enhanced as soon as you put them on.
Adjustable Fit and Wide Field of View
A fully adjustable temple design and nose piece allow for a precise, secure fit across multiple head shapes, ensuring the sunglasses stay put during movement. The frame is engineered to maximize peripheral vision, providing clear sightlines in every direction—ideal for ski-touring.
Your mission readiness is enhanced as soon as you put them on.
Snow-Tuned Optics and Durability
The ZEISS Clarity lens technology is once again central to performance, fine-tuned specifically for snow and intensely bright environments while delivering full UV400 protection. The lenses are treated with Ri-Pel to repel dirt, oil and water, keeping vision clear in changing conditions, while an anti-scratch coating helps maintain optical clarity over time. Lenses are easily interchangeable, and a spare clear lens is included—handy in low light during snow or freezing rain conditions—making the Devour adaptable to each facet of the mission.
All-Day Eye Comfort with Clarity Universal Lens
The Devour’s Clarity Universal lens—characterized by a greyer tint that is gentler on the eyes during extended wear—is designed for all-day use. And on missions when a snow goggle is too bulky, the Devour delivers a lot of protection in a more streamlined package. While the Clarity Universal lens offers marginally less intensity and definition than other Clarity options, it strikes a balance between visual performance and long-term comfort, helping to reduce eye fatigue. So on a longer trip when you can bring just one piece of eyewear, the Devour is a top option.
The Devour is also available in a bike version.
