Skibrille

Julbo takes an innovative approach to helmets and goggles. For example, several high-quality ski goggles with self-tinting lenses have been produced for a while now. For the current season, they are being combined with a helmet that is specially adapted for use with ski goggles and is therefore designed not only to provide an optimum fit, but also to ventilate the goggles to reliably prevent fogging.

There are many goggles, and the modern style with particularly large, rimless lenses is no longer a rarity. However, the high-end Skydome model from Julbo also offers a photochromatic lens that automatically adapts to the light conditions.

The SCOTT LCG (Lens Change Goggle) is a really solid companion that does what it is supposed to do and always provides the best possible view.

The Salomon website says that the XT ONE is the innovative successor to Salomon's tried and tested ski goggles. I took a look to see if this is really the case.

Once again this year, PowderGuide partner companies UVEX, Blizzard and Tecnica invited a number of journalists from the sports and outdoor industry to get to know their latest products - even before the presentation at ISPO. This time the test took place in Zürs am Arlberg. PowderGuide was of course also there to take a look at the new products.

With the "Big 40", the German goggle specialist is expanding its range to include snow goggles that have been specially designed for freeriding. In line with the trend for oversized powder goggles, the focus is not only on the design but also on many technical details. We tested the goggles in various conditions to see whether the features and design were convincing.

Over the past few weeks, I was able to put the coordinated set of the UVEX JAKK+ helmet and the UVEX JAKK TO goggle through their paces.

Last week I told you about the Marker Phoenix Otis helmet, today I'm writing about the matching goggles. As with helmets, there has been a lot of development in goggles over the last few years, so there are many innovative products on the market today.

The Snowstrike VT from Uvex is a high-tech innovation on the ski goggles market. One of the lenses uses electrical impulses to change not only the color, but also the intensity of the darkening of the goggles. This enables you to adjust the goggles to the current light conditions at lightning speed or let the goggles determine the light intensity themselves using the automatic mode.

Goggle change!

Since mid-December I've been testing the Uvex Downhill 2000 Polavision Pro, the first time Uvex has combined Polavision technology to prevent reflections and light reflexes with a Variomatic lens, which adapts to the prevailing light conditions by brightening and darkening. In my personal experience over the last 6 weeks, this has been a successful marriage!
