Getting your goggle game right can be a tricky business, so we asked our friends from Dragon Alliance to help us out with a couple of tips!
There are two things in snowboarding/skiing that suck more than anything:
1 – Being cold
2 – Not being able to see
While Dragon’s goggles can't do much about warming you up, they can help you get the best possible vision with some simple tips and tricks.
You wouldn’t wear a pair of size 12 shoes if you’re a size 9, so don’t wear a large goggle if you’ve got a small head – in both cases, you’ll be looking like a clown! When considering fit, we like to emphasize the comfort of your nose. If you can drive a truck through the gap between the goggle frame and your cheeks, go with something smaller. If your nose is blocked or pinching when wearing the goggle, go with something larger. Make sure the goggle perfectly seals to your face – after your 22nd lap of Whitestar Express, you’ll be thanking me.
Did you know a good lens makes you go 30% faster?* The truth is, lenses don’t care about you. They don't care if you can backflip in Big Bucks or fly down a black run... if you pick the wrong lens, it can ruin your day! On the flipside, pick the right lens and you’ll be flying past your friends, launching off every side hit in sight, no matter the weather.
*Okay, we have zero scientific data behind this statement, but good luck going fast with a low-quality vision or a foggy lens.
The GOLDEN RULE for lenses: Opposites Attract
If you never want to worry about choosing your lens again, speak to the Cardrona retail staff about Dragon’s Photochromic Lens – a self-adjusting lens that gives you optimal vision in a variety of conditions. That way you can focus on more important decisions like spending your last dollars on a pizza or another Espresso Martini at Mezz.
Ahhh fogging, the archenemy of the snow goggle – follow the below simple tips to get you out of fog’s way and seeing clearly all day long.
