Anon Magna-Tech® Lens Change System
When it comes to snow goggles with interchangeable lenses, few are as quick, easy, and intuitive as Anon’s Magna-Tech® lens change system. It’s one of the fastest lens change system on the market, using up to 9 rare earth magnets per goggle chassis, depending on the model. Whereas most goggle brands use a combination of magnets and levers or buttons to secure the lens, Anon’s Magna-Tech® uses only magnets to provide a firm, weatherproof seal.
When you can’t depend on the weather, you can depend on Magna-Tech® to help you quickly and seamlessly adapt to changing lighting conditions. We’ve even swapped lenses while wearing the goggles—and gloves! To see it in action, check out the our blog How to Use Anon's Magna-Tech® Quick Lens Change System or watch the video below.
Anon Lens Technology
Anon lenses are among the best in the industry, and their quality begins with their construction. Each one is mold-injected rather than stamped from sheet material. This makes it so each lens has the ideal thickness throughout its shape, which is key for delivering a clear view from all angles. Lower-quality manufacturing processes like stamping can lead to warped vision, eye fatigue, and headaches. Anon lenses have minimal to no distortion, and all of the models we’ve chosen here have crystal clear optics regardless of their lens shape.
We also love PERCEIVE, Anon’s proprietary lens technology. Every detail matters when you’re on the mountain, and PERCEIVE lenses deliver unrivaled color separation and enhancement. Multiple light filters boost your surroundings while keeping them true to color, providing a more balanced view that won’t strain your eyes after hours on end.
Lastly, Anon has anti-fog tech that is built in to each lens. Most lenses use a typical coating that is layered on top, but Anon uses a porous cellulose interior lining that is embedded with Integral Clarity Technology (ICT) coating. It’s so efficient that it doesn’t require any extra touching or cleaning, so you can focus on your ride.
To see all 9 PERCEIVE lens tints and a video breakdown of each, check out our blog Anon Lens Technology: The Complete Lens Guide.
Anon MFI: Magnetic Facemask Integration
As if their lens change system and lens tech weren’t enough, Anon changed the game with their Magnetic Facemask Integration (MFI). Anon MFI uses—you guessed it—magnets to attach a gaiter-like mask to the bottom of your goggle chassis for seamless protection against the elements. They’re ventilated, washable, and come in a range of styles and material thicknesses. The smart design eliminates bunching under your goggles, uncomfortable pressure points, and having to readjust in the middle of a ride. Basically, Anon MFI makes efficiency look cool.
All of our best Anon goggle selections are MFI compatible. We talk more about it here in our video What is Anon MFI?, and TJ gives a simple on-face demonstration in the video short below.
Best Anon Goggles for 2023–2024
Now that we’ve covered the big features, let’s get down to the details of our best Anon goggles for this season! They each have a different lens shape, including a new one that we’ll get into. For a breakdown of goggle lens shapes and how each of them work, take a look at our blog on cylindrical vs. spherical vs. toric lenses.
NEW: Anon M5 MFI Goggle
Staying true to their reputation for innovation, the Anon M5 MFI goggle is the newest model in their snow collection and it features a new lens shape: flat toric. The flat toric has the same horizontal curve as the cylindrical and original toric shapes, but a vertical curve that falls right between the two. This puts a modern twist on the classic cylindrical look, while adding the enhanced peripheral views of the toric shape. The result gives you the best of both worlds, including maximized vent volume and an enlarged viewing pane with minimal distortion.
Here's a side view to show you the Anon M4 vs. M5 lens shapes:
The Anon M5 MFI fits medium to large faces, and is also available in a smaller size with the Anon M5S. The regular Anon M5 features a wide strap and a unisex design.

Anon WM3 MFI Goggle
With most goggles having a universal medium to large fit, Anon created the WM3 MFI to outfit those with smaller faces. It’s built with all the same sleek, seamless tech of the Anon M5 and M4, but with a lower-profile cylindrical lens and smaller chassis. Proper fit makes all the difference when you’re on the mountain, as ill-fitting snow gear can be a literal pain and distraction. The Anon WM3 is a premium snow goggle that’s perfect for those who fall in between a medium and a small size, so you don’t have to sacrifice performance for comfort.

Anon M4 MFI Toric Goggle
Lastly, Anon’s M4 Toric goggle is a favorite and bestseller at SportRx. The largest model in our best Anon goggle list, the M4 is surprisingly versatile and suits a range of face sizes—even though it’s categorized as a large. You’ll also love that the M4 goggle is available with a cylindrical lens, and the same chassis swaps effortlessly between the two. With the widest lens on our list, it also delivers the broadest peripheral views.
The Anon M4 Toric MFI goggle is also available in a smaller size with the Anon M4S.
