if those don't fall off accidentally they could be really sick, I hate feeling like I'm about to break my lens when I try to swap it out

It just seems like any time you wrecked you would have to go find your lenses. I mean maybe not but I would need to see them in action before I made a purchase. If they work well then way to go ANON!

Word up... I never suggested anyone buy them, but they certainly seem like a cool idea, gotta give them some props for innovation.

Are you saying this technology isn't innovative?

I think that this technology might be interesting for regular slope skiers, but that for us freeskiers and snowboarders that it just won't hold up... I can't imagine how simple magnets will keep my lense from falling off of the frame if I bail.

I would imagine that the dudes who tested these goggles probably shred harder than most people

This... I have to imagine they took falling into account when designing these. No one wants to lose a 40-80 dollar lens if they fall in some powder. But I have no idea... curious to see them in person.

Why you need to change your lense in 3 second ? I always carry my 2 pair of crowbar whit me and a extra lense, just change your lense on the lift. Thats just me, i think people now are to obsessed whit time, every single thing are made to save time and its annoying . ( sorry for my grammar)

heads up to everyone in this thread-

there are magnets stronger than the ones on your kitchen fridge.

I usually roll with an extra lens in my goggle pocket. My only concern about these goggles is how strong will these magnets be? And how will moisture effect it, you know?

Anon would be the last goggle company i would support, They dont care about skiers, so please dont give two shits about them. Your throwing your money into snowboarding and not skiing.

i thought we were ballers, we get new suits every year, new skis, new bindings, why the hell do i want the same goggle frame? that would cramp my steeze. skiing is all about excess, i would rather have 4 pairs of different crowbars than toting around different lenses to pretend im cool.
