Over the past several years snow sport athletes have been demanding a wider field of vision from their goggles. Larger frame-less goggles have been all the rage lately, but the industries dirty secret is that most of these extra large goggles don’t actually fit properly when worn with a helmet. Recently Giro developed a new pair of goggles designed to break the mold by providing maximum peripheral vision while remaining helmet compatible. Outfitted with optics by Carl Zeiss Vision, the ONSET snow goggles by Giro provide a precision full-size frame and Giro’s EXV (expansive view) technology. The Onset isn’t only helmet compatible… it also looks fantastic and incorporates luscious triple-layer face foam for incredible comfort to help you perform at the highest level.
Giro’s mission: to supply technologies that are truly useful to all riders regardless of skill level. The ONSET goggle delivers amazing optics and the best helmet compatible field of view on the market.
Key Features:
- Available in 35 frame and lens options (as seen above)
- Large size adult frame
- True Sight spherical dual lens
- Helmet compatible design
- Triple layer face foam with micro fleece facing
- Optics by Carl Zeiss Vision
Available October, 2012 – $150 or go to: Giro.com
