We thought it would be a great time to re post this, as we are pushing the middle of September, and\u00a0ski and snowboard season is fast approaching!\u00a0We are receiving new products from\u00a0 Spy<\/span><\/a><\/span>, Anon<\/span><\/a><\/span>, Dragon<\/span><\/a><\/span>, and Scott<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0 and you can check them out in our snow\u00a0section<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span> of the website. \u00a0Here are some key features and benefits that can be found on goggles that will be in stock at ASO, remember, as very active participants we carry everything you need, and nothing you don’t.\u00a0 If you have any questions about anything please hit us up via email @ info@actionsportoptics.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Spherical Lenses<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Spherical lenses have a consistent curve that helps in maximizing your field of view.\u00a0 The lens mimics the curvature of your eye to give you a better vision in all directions.<\/p>\n

Cylindrical Lenses<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cylindrical lenses are flat and more low profile, they do not have the curve that mimics the eyeball like the spherical lens.\u00a0 The cylindrical lenses are a bit more flexible then spherical and give great protection and style at a cheaper price.<\/p>\n

Dual Lens<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A dual lens is basically 2 lenses with an airspace in between the two.\u00a0 This insures proper climate control inside the goggle in the effort to keep vision clear in all conditions.<\/p>\n

Anti-fog coatings<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Most companies put an anti-fog coating on the inside of the lens to help prevent condensation and fogging, which can definitely put a damper on an epic day on the hill.<\/p>\n

Lens tints<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a wide range of lens tints in the goggle industry, which are trying to cover the spectrum of the entire visible light transmission (VLT) spectrum.\u00a0 From blue bird days, to cloudy days, ASO tries to carry a range of brands and lens tints which work best in a broad range of conditions.<\/p>\n

Mirrored and non mirrored lenses<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mirrored lenses help cut the glare and give you extra style points, while unmirrored are simple and straightforward and provide great protection.<\/p>\n

Helmet compatibility<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Are you wearing a helmet to protect your noggin? Alot of talk out there that is may become required, and in some places required already.\u00a0 Goggle companies are increasingly concentrating on making sure their goggles are compatible with helmets for a good fit by adding what they call outriggers so the straps wrap around the outside of the helmet easily without pulling the goggle off your face and creating air gaps.<\/p>\n

Face foams<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The face foams are generally dual or triple layer, some even have a micro fleece layer that makes the contact with your face ultra-comfortable.\u00a0 We would say that all of the foams in this day and age are very comfortable to the face, and create a good fit and help eliminate any gaps.<\/p>\n

Air flow<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ventilation in a goggle is key in fighting the battle of a fog free day on the hill.\u00a0 There are different names and patented technologies used by different companies, but they are all with the same purpose of improving your on hill experience by keeping your vision clear.<\/p>\n

Silicone ribbed goggle straps<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Most companies are adding a ribbon of silicone on the inside of the goggle strap, this is so it does not slip up, down, or off the outside of your helmet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
