Hi thanks for talking about the Shield! What really is tugging at me to buy is well...the retro aspect...yea I'm older and have ski'd since I was 6 so this color combo and the look just feels like home to me!
Hi Roger and thanks for the comment and glad you like the video. Funny you mention the retro aspect, as the the colour of that particular set-up is 'retro-blue/red'. If you've subscribed - thank you as it really helps us to test more kit and make other reviews for you. If you've not, and you like the content, it'd be great to have you as part of the SkiKitInfo family; subscribe if you wish to. Thanks again and have a fab time skiing this winter. Al from SkiKitInfo.
@@SkiKitInfo Hehe, yea I know that retro color ... I used to have a Jean Claude Killy coat back when and it was the cats a** lol for the look at that time and of course...that color! Thanks and your review garnered a sub....Hoping this season we remain safe although if I could squeeze a run down a hill this year that would be phenomenal...last season where I live (Searchmont Ski Resort Ontario) was locked down to COVID so my first year in history I didn't strap ski's on!
@@RogerDiotte Superb, thank you and great to have you as part of the SkiKitInfo clan; welcome. JCK; total legend. Fingers crossed for skiers around the world that this winter allows us time in the mountains. I know we really want it to happen, and it feels like we need that mental rebalance the mountains provide. Hope you get sliding and that you have a fantastic time in the snow. Al from SkiKitInfo.
Hi dkong5 & thanks for the question. Sorry we couldn't respond sooner as we closed the office for a little summer break. The Scott Shield doesn't have a quick swap design for the lens, but rather has the classic slot and notch system of most goggles (the lens edge sits in a groove or slot in the frame, and the edge of the lens has little notches in it. These secure over little 'pins' in the frame, holding the lens very securely in place). What makes the Shield a little easier is it's semi-frameless design. This means that in front of your forehead and by your cheeks the lens doesn't need to sit in a slot. This makes it quicker to re-engage a lens. To remove a Scott Shield lens, simply grab the frame by the nose arch in one hand and brow area in the other, then gently pull apart (don't pull on the foam - but hold and pull on the rubber frame). You can then lift the lens out from one of the sides. To insert a lens, locate the nose of the lens in the slot in the frame nose arch, engage the notch on either side of the nose, then fit one side (1 notch at the bottom and 2 at top on each side), then the other. It's pretty easy, and easier than many full framed designs, although quick change systems are quicker and easier (but not always as secure). Scott does have a quick change system, Scott's LCG (Lens Change) system, that works really well. There are many other interchangeable lens systems out there too, like Dragon's Swiftlock, Oakley Switchlock etc, and numerous magnetic lens systems available. If you change lenses a lot then I'd opt for the dedicated design of an quick and easy interchangeable lens system. If you may only change the lens now and then, a traditional system (like the Scott Shield) is definitely suitable. Hope this helps and happy sliding the next time you get on snow.

How do you change the lens?
