Scott Goggles

We chose the NL ( natural light )32 lens for both colors because this is a universal lens with proven performance in a variety of light conditions from light( blue skies ) to flat light( grey skies ).  Scott lenses undergo a serious anti fog treatment to prevent condensation and fogging, although as with any goggle proper care is key to any treatments continued success.  The ACS ventilation system in the Fix is made of intake vents on the goggle lens, and out take vents on the bottom of the frame. The continual airflow is also key to a fog free day. The Scott NL32 spherical lens is optically correct, durable, blocks 100% harmful UV rays, lightweight, comfortable, and resistant to impact. Other features include helmet compatibility, and super comfortable 3 layer foam that delivers comfort and a precise fit. The Fix is a great fit on faces from med to large. Our next frame available is the Scott Sanction at $75.00 in colors from  white,  orange with some fun stylish graphics black and white.

It looses the 3 layer foam, but the  molded hypoallergenic super soft face foam also delivers comfort. The Sanction is also a unisex frame that fits best on med sized faces.

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.
