Magnetic quick-swap systems are specifically designed for gloved operation. To remove, grip the lens edge firmly and pull straight away from the goggle body—the magnets will release. To install, align the lens roughly with the goggle and let the magnets pull it into place, then press gently around the edges to ensure all magnets are engaged. Practice the swap at home before trying it on the mountain. Mechanical clip systems may require slightly more dexterity but are also designed for gloved use.
