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
The series has evolved from "M1" to "M2" and then to "M3." Starting with "M3," Anon's unique patented technology, which utilizes magnetism, has been incorporated. This includes the "Magna-Tech® lens exchange systemenables seamless integration with face masks, enhancing cold protection and comfortMFI® (Magnetic Face Mask Integration)," which
The foam has a three-layer structure. The layer that touches the skin uses a moisture-wicking fleece material to quickly absorb sweat and moisture and keep the skin dry for comfort, the layer closer to the frame serves to support durability and structure, and the layer between the two enhances the fit, prevents cold air and snow from entering, and helps to maintain a constant temperature inside the goggles.
Furthermore, the lensescylindrical lens design*employ
*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" supports both toric and cylindrical lenses. The "M5" continues to be updated with the adoption of flat toric lenses.
The lenses of the newly released "M6" and "M6S" feature proprietary "Integral Clarity Technology" to prevent fogging, providing clear vision that exceeds industry standards for extended periods.
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 2020-21 season, the PacyBlens features a new function called "HIGH-DENIFITION" that reduces distortion and provides a natural, almost naked-eye view, and incorporates "Integral Clarity Technology (ICT)*", resulting in exceptional clarity and anti-fogging performance that exceeds industry standards. The surface is also treated with a hydrophobic coating, making it resistant to snow and dirt. A wide range of colors is available to suit all weather conditions.
*Anon's unique technology that is applied directly to the inside of the lens, resulting in extremely high 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

| 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 |
