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:
Zeal Optics has united its patented Rail Lock System (//RLs) and award-winning Observation Deck Technology (ODT) in the revolutionary Lookout goggle to elevate your vision and experience on the mountain. The dual sliding rail system guides, slides and locks your lens into place simply and securely, while the ODT frame’s pantoscopic tilt and low profile expands your vertical field of view by 20%, allowing you to see every inch of the line below you.
