Anon Comrade goggles Review

Anon Optics

Anon Comrade goggles review from Action Sport Optics. The Comrade is Anon Optics newest and highest end frame in their collection for 2011-12 season. The Comrade is Anons answer to the newest trend in goggles which is bigger frames, increased visibility and peripheral vision. ASO thinks Anon did a great job with this frame, very clean lines and not a overbearing look. When you put the Comrade on, you instantly feel the comfort of the triple layer face foam ( with fleece outer layer ) on your face and notice the increased visibility. The frame height is 101 mm, the biggest in the collection, but not to big. With a high end goggle comes high end features including spherical lens technology,  when the lens mimics the curvature of the human eye for superior optics in all directions. The lens also has SST, solar shield hard coating technology,  a hard coating that delivers superior scratch resistance to the mirrored lens. The venting on this frame is full perimeter, top, bottom, and lens venting insure good airflow to help prevent foggles. More and more riders and skiers are wearing helmets these days, and the Comrade was engineered with this in mind. Anon worked hard to create a proper fit, eliminate gaper gap, and maximize airflow between the goggle and helmet interface.  For Anon, being owned by the worlds largest snowboard company Burton snowboards has its benefits when it comes to research and development and the product being designed and put to the test by the best athletes in the world. Our goal at Action Sport Optics, is to carry everything you need, and nothing you don’t, as very active participants in snowboarding and skiing  the Anon Comrade is getting  high marks from ASO. We carry 3 color/lens options that can fit a variety of styles and colors that will match well with a broad range of outfits, all at $139.95.

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. This is a clean look that would look great with most outfits, the bronze with green spectra lens offers style, and protection. This sunny weather lens, has a low visible light transmission of 18, with a high filter category of S3. Spy Platoon
TSL Push w  Carl Zeiss bronze red spectra lens, at $147.95. This color is for those who like to turn things up a notch.  The high quality bronze red spectra lens is also a great sunny weather lens with, with a low VLT of 22, and a high filter category of S3.
