Breathable goggles "OUTBACK" have new frame color and strap designs!
The OUTBACK has been gaining popularity since its release in the 2023-24 season as "breathing goggles," featuring SWANS's proud A-BLOW system and flat lenses with minimal distortion
The "A-BLOW System" is a SWANS-exclusive feature that allows the lens to pop up from the frame when the side frame parts are pushed forward, allowing moisture inside the goggles to escape and ventilate. When hiking up in the backcountry or sidecountry for 30 to 60 minutes, you can simply pop up the lens without removing the goggles to ventilate the inside of the goggles, providing good visibility when skiing or climbing
In addition to the high-visibility "ULTRA LENS" lens that highlights the unevenness of the snow surface and the "photochromic" lens that automatically changes the brightness depending on the amount of UV rays, "OUTBACK" also features a face-contact form that provides a soft fit that is suited to Japanese faces, and a frame design that can be used in combination with glasses
For the 2025-2026 season, the frame shape and functionality remain the same, but the frame colors and strap designs have been completely revamped. The lineup is as follows:
▶OB-MDH-CU-LP
For sunny to cloudy days/￥36,300
Introducing the "OUTBACK COMPACT," which fits people with small faces and women!
The OUTBACK COMAPCT was released for the 2025-2026 season, retaining the excellent functionality and design of the OUTBACK. It features a more compact frame, making it a great fit for riders with smaller faces, as well as women and juniors. It also offers a better fit when paired with a helmet, improving comfort
The top is "OUTBACK COMAPCT" and the bottom is "OUTBACK". You can see the difference in size, with the two being slightly smaller
You can choose from four types depending on the conditions
▶OC-MDH-CU-LP
For sunny to cloudy days/¥33,000
▶OC-MDH-CU-LG
Sunny to cloudy weather, snowy weather, night skiing / ￥33,000
