Anon Comrade goggles Review

12:58 pm, November 21, 2011

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.
