What does ultracontrast mean?

[bobback]

For a goggle lens.

I can get a lens with UC or without; and the vlt rating (how much light the lens lets in) is basically the same.

Is a lens with UC or without UC better for flat light conditions?

If ultracontrast refers to technologies like Smith's cromapop or Oakley's prizm then yes it is worth it.

So far, the best goggles I have found, for hard core all day FLAT FLAT LIGHT (Heavy Overcast Days) of mountain riding..
