goggles

When approaching your holiday gift-giving strategy it’s important to first think about your loved one's passions. If they dig snowboarding, or if a ski trip is on the agenda this year, surprise the skier or snow boarder in your life with any of the following gift ideas:

Finally I’ve found a goggle that doesn’t sacrifice comfort for field of view or vise versa. Brand new for 2013 Scott has launched the Off Grid goggle delivering exceptional peripheral vision and a perfect fit with Scott’s patent pending Fit System. The Fit System allows for an unheard of level customization around face and nose. Two cams on each side of the goggle are capable of moving the frame 4mm with each adjustment. Want more or less room around the nose; want a tighter overall fit, no problem with these insanely comfortable goggles from Scott.

There’s nothing worse than having your vision robbed of you of on an epic powder day because your stupid goggles keep fogging up. Next thing you know, you’re upside down in a tree well you didn’t see coming and your goggles are around your neck and full of snow. Zeal Optics provides a solution to these problems with the Voyager goggles and interchangeable lenses. Keeping a spare lens in your backpack can save you a lot of trouble. Plus, with a variety of lenses to choose from, you can select the perfect tint for the conditions and go from some blind fool falling down the slopes to having the razor sharp vision of an eagle, flying down the mountain.

It’s really hard to go wrong with any Dragon goggles. From the discontinued Mace goggles (my favorite goggles for many years) to the Rogues (the TJ Schiller version super sick!) to the full-size APX goggles, they’re all killer. Well, this season I received a brand new pair of Dragon Gigi Ruf APXs goggles and these quickly moved up into my top spot for Dragon goggles.

For the second season in a row, I’m happy to announce that the Oakley Airbrakes are still my favorite goggles on the market. The optics are amazing, the lenses can be changed in a second and they look badass. So, what could make the Airbrakes even better for the 12/13 season you ask? How about a brand new Seth Morrison pro model version with skulls all over it? Oakley nailed it on these goggles.

Sage is one of the top skiers in the game. He could ride on anything he wants. Check out the gear he chooses and read what he has to say about it.

Oversized Perfection, that’s how to describe the new Spy Platoons. These bad boys are large and in charge. The Platoons don’t mess around when it comes to your field of vision thanks to the ARC spherical duel lens, they stay fog free with Scoop venting and the Isotron face foam ensures your comfort.

I have been sporting my new POC Lobes goggles with new POC helmet and I’m sold. The spherical lenses are phenomenal, the field of vision is expansive and the anti-fog and anti-scratch treatments eliminate annoyances.

I remember when Arnette was the hottest brand of goggles on the market. They had the coolest vibe, their snowboard and ski teams were legit and their products were 100 percent dialed. I also remember when everyone disbanded from Arnette both internally and from a team standpoint and the future of Arnette no longer seemed so bright. Well, times are changing and thanks to the hard work of Joe Freitag and the great people over at Arnette, the brand is back and the goggles are arguably some of the best in the biz.
