Following the huge success of DAKINE's first helmet released last year, goggles were launched for the 2025-2026 season. What kind of goggles embody the brand philosophy, combining sustainable materials with uncompromising performance?
Its roots
DAKINE started in 1979 in a small workshop on the island of Maui, Hawaii.
Starting out with surf gear leashes, the brand has since earned global trust with its snow accessories, including backpacks and gloves, and has always followed its mission of "making gear for surviving extreme environments." It is widely known that the brand name "Da Kine" means "the best" in Hawaiian, but the words are not just a catchphrase; they are the brand's philosophy itself.
The first DAKINE helmet, released in the 2024-2025 season, was a symbolic achievement. The helmet, which combined durability and design, was highly praised by snowboarders and skiers around the world and became a new icon for DAKINE
The deciding factor in the development of these goggles was that after the release of last season's helmets, the US headquarters received numerous requests from users and shops saying, "We want goggles that are the perfect match for DAKINE helmets." In order to meet the expectations of fans, and as is the natural progression of the brand, the development of the goggles was carried out quickly
"Next-generation goggles" born from a sustainable philosophy
DAKINE has always upheld the development philosophy of "RESPECTFUL PRODUCT." As a brand that supports riders who play and live with nature, we believe that our equipment should have a minimal environmental impact
The new goggles also use plant-derived bio-based materials for the frame and face form, and recycled materials are used for the straps, adjustment parts, and even the storage pouch, demonstrating a sustainable approach down to the smallest details
No compromises on lenses
DAKINE is committed to environmental friendliness while also "not compromising on performance." They have developed their own "High Contrast Optics," a cutting-edge high-contrast lens that allows you to see the terrain clearly
The technology precisely controls the wavelengths of light, precisely controlling the three primary colors of light - red, green, and blue - to clearly display contrast and color, clearly showing the unevenness of the snow surface and changes in the slope.In addition, a powerful anti-fog coating is applied to prevent fogging even during long rides, and the ventilation design ensures natural airflow.As a result, you can always maintain clear visibility
It goes without saying that it fits seamlessly with the helmet, and DAKINE has made it possible to provide the firmness around the head that users have been hoping for
The lineup consists of three models
Three models were announced, each with a different price range. DAKINE is particular about using plant-derived materials for each part of each model. They meet American and European safety standards, and are guaranteed to be reliable. And yet, they offer excellent value for money, with the top-of-the-line model, the "DOMAIN SNOW GOGGLE PLUS," costing 35,200 yen, and the most affordable model, the "VENUE SNOW GOGGLE," costing 14,300 yen
