A couple weeks ago the New York Times ran an article entitled “Has Snowboarding Lost it’s Edge?” which despite the corny headline, made some good points about the decline in the sport’s overall steez thanks to aging and skiers biting everything that made snowboarding rad. With this in mind we are stoked to see Arnette fighting the good fight with a rad Bad Brains collabo goggle for next season. Let’s just hope the plankers don’t get ahold of it. Sneak another peek after the jump.
Arnette is going full steez this season with a two frame series dedicated to Zac Marben. Featuring a Skylight in red matte with gold chrome lenses and a Series 3 in gray/black with a shadow chrome lens, both goggles feature some of Marben’s signature artwork. Peep the Series 3 after the jump.
Dragon is back with this years update to the APX, their groundbreaking wide angle goggle that pretty much started the recent giant lens trend. If you haven’t gotten on the hill with a pair APX’s with red lenses after a doob or two, you are really missing out, its the closest you can get to being on Mars without the spaceship. More colors after the jump.
Spy and Herschel give us another reason why collabs won’t and shouldn’t ever go away with their new two-goggle pack. Consisting of two signature frames, the $160 Platoon and the $130 Marshall, the Spy x Herschel pack is thought out from front to back right down to the mini Herschel bag replica cases. If you are trying to be fly this season, you need these. The Platoon is above, peep the Marshall and a promo vid after the jump.
Some ill futuristic shit is going on today with the long awaited release of the Oakley Airwave, the first major manufacturer snow goggle with built-in heads up display that basically turns you into the Terminator on the hill. The tech specs are so tech that we’ve lifted them straight from Oakley, so hit the jump to read them and see the other colorway.
Von Zipper present the El Kabong, a frameless google with a presto-changeo lens system. Check out the commercial featuring John Jackson and get a closer look at the goggles after the jump.
