Spy Platoon named in top 6

The Spy Platoon was recently named in Outside magazines top 6 goggles of 2012. Outside had this to say about the 2012 Spy Platoon ski or snowboard goggle, “Oversize goggles like the Platoon are stylish these days, they also happen to work well, the field of vision is massive, and the flexible frame wraps the face nicely, offering a bit more protection from wind and cold”  The Platoon is the biggest, cleanest, most modern goggle in the Spy 2012 collection.  What they failed to mention, is the Platoon also comes with Carl Zeiss Vision lenses, synonymous with quality in optics.  The Platoon packs a punch with other features as well including a FREE bonus lens, spherical Carl Zeiss vision lens, scoop ventilation, anti fog treatment, 100% UV protection, triple layer Isotron face foam, dual adjustment and silicone ribbed strap, and a 1 year warranty.  VLT (visual light transmission) is low in these goggles which makes them great for sunny conditions. Generally, the lower the VLT the less light is let through the lens, and the higher number is more light makes it through the lens.  The higher the filter category the less light that is transmitted through the lens. ASO carries the Platoon in 2 price and color options. Occult w Carl Zeiss bronze green spectra lens priced at $137.95.

Standard films TB20

Action Sport Optics just picked up a copy of Standard Films latest release TB20, this is a must buy film for your collection. Working with top level riders that cover the spectrum of snowboarding from rails, park, back country, big mountain, at the best locations on the planet, TB20 delivers.  Established riders like big mountain ruler Xavier De La Rue, snowboard legend Kevin Jones, freestyle wonder boy Halldor Helgason, Kimmy Fasani and Leanne Pelosi, along with up and coming rulers establishing a name for themselves. TB20 is the culmination of years of films that is a tribute to snowboarding and having fun, which is what the sport is all about.  ASO loves the fact that Standard films does the best job in the industry at covering all aspects of the sport from rails, parks, and big mountain riding.

TB20 takes you to epic terrain all over the world, from the back yard rails, to big mountain lines in Alaska, Europe, Canada, and top US destinations such as Mammoth, Jackson, Tahoe, and Colorado.  The filming is top notch and standard has pushed the bar with quality of riding and progression in the sport, and action sport film production.  The big mountain lines, airs, cliff drops, pillow lines, and pow turns will keep you on the edge of your seat and itching to get after it!  Buy TB20 for your collection, you won’t be disappointed.  There is not another film company out there that represents the soul of the sport like Lake Tahoe Based Standard films.
