Boardworks Breakdown:
If you are tired of messing around with rinky-dink, cheap goggles and want to upgrade to that hot fire… Zeal goggles are what you want. They are made by Maui Jim. Yes, Maui Jim, the dank-ass-bougie sunglass company! Zeals are one of the most optically clear goggle companies on the market, and their Rail Lock system is BY FAR the best lens change system we’ve tried. It’s just as easy to change your lens as the popular magnetic lens options out there, but they have a rail system that keeps you from losing the lens when you tomahawk you way down some gnarly steeps. They might be a little spendier than the cheap-o frames you’re used to, but they are well worth it. There’s also a high end bonus lens included with every pair, not the crappy ones you usually get with most other companies. BUY THESE. If you regret your purchase, Lupo owes you a beer.
Manufacturer Description:
Expanding (literally) on our award-winning Portal, Portal XL provides the biggest vistas ever. Packing all the same great features as the Portal, including our patented Rail Lock System, Portal XL provides a larger fit with more coverage for face shots. Portal XL’s field of vision spans the widest of ranges and features our Optimum, Optimum Polarized, and Optimum Polarized Automatic Plus lens options. With a bonus, Persimmon Sky Blue Mirror lens included with every pair, and the Rail Lock System’s ground breaking lens change system, the mountains just got a lot larger.
The vertical Rail Lock System makes changing your lenses on the go a breeze, and it allows you to vent your lenses while hiking, or on the deepest, wettest days for fog-free skiing and snowboarding, that lets you keep charging while others are sidelined by fogged out lenses.
Introducing Portal XL. Life through our lenses has never looked so grand.
