SCOTT SPORTS, DAKINE

Multi-faceted Scott Sports-makes footwear/apparel/gear for many sports-not just the winter kind.

Focusing on the goggles at this event-we couldn't help but notice how advanced goggles have gotten since we rocked our first pair of Scott ski goggles, back in the late '80s.

Highlights:
SCOTT LCG (Lens Change Goggles) available now: lenses changing made easy-seriously so via Scott Change Slider System. Can do this on the chair lift up…just slide out…and bonus-no need to fingerprint mess up the lens…just the rim. 6 color options-with no slip silicone strap ---helmet compatible. $250

Scott Opt/View double lenses-sides slide  out…there's a side bar for that
The LCG's feature Scott Fit Technology system---allows for adjustments of the lens to concave against lower face for the perfect seal….there is a tiny dial that does this---on bottom of the frame---as are the location of air in/out-take vents to prevent clammy condensation and fogging (ACS Air Control System). SO cool.

the goggle lenses come in an ergonomic low profile, molded-protective case can slip into a jacket pocket…SMART
A comfort fit is further enhanced with 2 layers of foam sandwiching a layer of fleece for sweat retention and cushioning. Plus lenses are NO Fog™ permanently- via a coating,


New for the season-the SCOTT LINX ($160)…with distortion free spherical Opt/View double lenses, and like the LCG---a No Fog™ Anti-fog permanent treatment…the Scott Fit system for customized shape and 3 layer molded face foam for comfort, and ACS™ Air control system to deal with condensation and fog.

also interchangeable lenses---these pop out---and replacement lens are sold separately Scott Skeleton Construction -maximum field of vision, stabile frame and distortion free view
same Scott Fit System feature---can see the dials on frames-one on each side…and the triple foam too, no slip silicone strap with adjustable buckle can do with one hand, and helmet compatible fit.




FYI: All Scott lenses are 100% UV blocking ---and the choices include impact tough- lenses for natural, low, variable, flat, extreme sunny…etc conditions.
