Colorboost in winter sports: precision, safety and maximum visibility
With the start of the winter season, Colorboost is focusing on the importance of high-quality, high-contrast lenses for winter sports enthusiasts. The focus is on the proven technology that has made Colorboost a reliable partner for outdoor enthusiasts and opticians for years.

In snowy landscapes and changing light conditions, clear vision is crucial for safety and performance. This is exactly where Colorboost lenses come in: They combine precise color filtering, the highest optical quality and intense color contrasts - developed to provide optimum recognition of details on snow and ice and to relieve strain on the eyes.
Technology that makes the difference in winter
The Colorboost lenses work with a highly developed filter and pigment technology that reduces disturbing light components, enhances contrasts and clearly highlights natural colors. The result:
- Better depth perception on snow.
- Greater safety in fog, diffuse light and changing cloud cover.
- More relaxed, fatigue-free vision.
- Reliable performance in high alpine conditions.
Visibility plays a key role, especially in the dark season. Colorboost lenses help winter sports enthusiasts to detect uneven terrain earlier, assess movements better and perceive themselves more clearly - a decisive advantage in often unpredictable alpine terrain. The brown PCPL B1301 lens and the PC R0901 lens are particularly suitable for this purpose.
Premium solutions for opticians and winter sports customers
Colorboost supports opticians in providing targeted advice to winter sports enthusiasts - the Lens Comparison Tool on the Colorboost website is a particularly helpful tool for this. This allows different lens options to be compared visually, including their color effect and contrast enhancement. Opticians can thus quickly and clearly demonstrate which lens variant is best suited to which winter lighting conditions.

New partner: Charmant for Head Eyewear
From January 2026, Colorboost is launching a collaboration with the renowned Japanese frame manufacturer Charmant, the official partner for Head Eyewear, thereby expanding its presence in the sports and performance segment. Selected Head sunglasses can then be fitted with Colorboost lenses directly at the optician. This will provide customers with high-quality Head sports eyewear combined with the outstanding Colorboost technology for optimized colour perception and maximum contrast vision. The future partnership strengthens the positioning of both brands in the sports optics sector and combines technological expertise with sporty performance.
Colorboost - two decisive factors
A key quality feature of Colorboost technology are two key figures: the Color Resolution Factor (CRF) and the Color Accuracy Factor (CAF). The CRF describes how many additional color tones the lenses make visible - up to 35 % more colors than with the naked eye. In this way, they expand the entire color spectrum and ensure a significantly more detailed perception. But color intensity alone is not enough: with a CAF of 99 %, Colorboost lenses also guarantee almost perfect color reproduction - natural, precise and with an impressive depth effect.

Colorboost lenses are available as flat, single-vision and progressive lenses in various tints and formats (including shields) - also with additional polarized or photochromic coatings on request.
Colorboost lenses can be purchased from authorized opticians.
