Anon was founded in 2001 as a goggle and helmet brand based on Burton. It began in the snowboarding scene and is now trusted by top ski riders such as Eric Pollard, Karl Fostevedt, and Michelle Parker.
In Japan, Nozawa Onsen Ski Club has adopted their helmets and goggles, and they are also used by famous skiers such as Katsuyuki Kono, Takuma Oike, and Toru Kawaguchi.
Introducing the M6 and M6S, offering amazing clarity, lighter weight and a wider field of view
The company's popular series "M3," "WM3," and "WM1" will be replaced next season by the new "M6" and "M6S" models with a modern and sophisticated style. These entry-level models offer a good balance of functionality and price, allowing you to try out the performance of the higher-end "M4" and "M5" models at an affordable price
The evolution of the M series
This series has evolved from the M1 to the M2 and M3. The M3 introduced Anon's patented magnetic technology. These include the Magna -Tech® Lens Change System MFI® (Magnetic Face Mask Integration), which seamlessly integrates with face masks for enhanced warmth and comfort .
The foam is constructed with three layers: the layer that touches the skin is made of moisture-wicking fleece for quick absorption of sweat and moisture, keeping the skin dry and comfortable; the layer closest to the frame provides durability and structural support; and the intermediate layer provides a comfortable fit, blocks cold air and snow, and helps maintain a constant temperature inside the goggles.
Additionally, the lenses feature cylindrical lens design*
*Cylindrical lens: A lens that is curved horizontally but flat vertically. It appears curved when viewed from above, but has a straight design when viewed from the side. It is easier to understand if you imagine it as a cylinder
Lens type
| shape | Curve direction | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Cylindrical | Only horizontal | Wide field of view, stylish and affordable |
| Spherical | Horizontal + vertical (spherical) | Wide field of view and natural vision. Reduces eye fatigue |
| Toric | Different curves horizontally and vertically | Low distortion, lightweight, and breathable |
Features of the "M6" and "M6S"
The "M4" is compatible with both toric and cylindrical lenses. The "M5" continues to be updated with flat toric lenses. The
newly released "M6" and "M6S" lenses feature the company's unique "Integral Clarity Technology" that prevents fogging, providing long-lasting clarity that exceeds industry standards.
In addition to the existing "Magna-Tech®" and "MFI®," the new glasses also feature a thin and lightweight frame with excellent moisture absorption and dissipation thanks to ventilation holes all around the frame, and a face form that improves fit by varying the thickness depending on the area of the face where gaps tend to form, such as the nose. The glasses are packed with technology that pursues comfort and sustainability in "seeing."
This model is a unisex model. The "M6" is a standard size, while the "M6S" is a size that fits smaller faces. Both are available in 10 colors. There is a wide variety to choose from

"PERCEIVE LENSE" brings clarity similar to that of the naked eye
Introduced in the 20-21 season, the Passy Lenses feature a new "High-Denification" function that reduces distortion for a natural-eye-like view, and "Integral Clarity Technology (ICT)*" for exceptional clarity and anti-fog performance that exceeds industry standards. The surface is also coated with a hydrophobic coating, making it less susceptible to snow and dirt. A wide range of colors are available to suit any weather.
*Anon's proprietary technology, which is applied directly to the inside of the lens for exceptional durability.
The lenses are divided into three categories based on their intended use, each with different light transmittance levels that can be selected to suit the weather
| category | example | weather |
|---|---|---|
| SUNNY | Sunny Onyx, Sunny Red, etc | Ideal for sunny days and strong sunlight |
| VARIABLE | Variable Blue, Variable Violet, etc | Responds to changes from cloudy to sunny |
| CLOUDY | Cloudy Pink, Cloudy Burst, etc | Great for snowy or cloudy days |
In addition to the numerous features included, the "M6" series also comes with an MFI® face mask, "PERCEIVE LENSE," a goggle sock, and a goggle case
