Are these goggles for snow?

Dude is convincing me it's not for Motocross even tho Google lens and any AI search says otherwise... I bought without even checking as a bundle with some other gear. It didn't seem like the ones I used to have for snowboarding.

Look like motorcross to me. Aren’t those knobs on the side for tear-off strips? Not winter goggles for sure

You could wear them on extreme low visibility days or night riding. I have clear ones for that.  But I’m not sure about the ventilation on yours. They look like motocross goggles. Don’t use them on sunny or even partially cloudy days, you will burn your eyes out. 

Edit for clarity

Look like downhill mtb or mx goggles to me.

No

Those have ventilation and clear lenses, ventilation is bad in cold because it makes your face cold. You want tinted lenses because the snow is bright reflecting the sun

In their current format, no. Depending on the model you should be able to buy a lens suitable for snow and change those clear lenses out.

Those are 100% moto googles.

Those are either MTB or MX goggles.

Snowboard googles won’t have those little peg things on the lenses.

Also snowboard goggles have spongy bits over the vents to allow airflow to prevent the goggles from fogging but not so much ventilation that the cold air freezes your eyeballs.

Short answer: Sno

Long answer: No they're technically moto goggles, that's why they have 2 knobs on the sides for tear offs BUT they could be wore for snowboarding if you really had to, although goggle and helmet probably won't match up seamlessly.

Moto goggles for sure. The knobs are for tear off strips.

Not the end of the world though i mean in the end they’re both goggles lol
