Snow goggles that pro shops are paying attention to on the 26th and 27th!

the 26-27 range,
featuring POC's unique Clarity Lens, eliminates the distortion of spherical lenses. The Clarity Lens controls wavelengths to highlight shadows on the snow surface and the unevenness of the terrain, providing a clear view that allows you to accurately read the terrain even in flat light. The TARSAL WF employs a toric lens that addresses the distortion that was a weak point of curved lenses, ensuring a wide field of view without stress.

DRAGON, also used by FACTION rider Koga Hoshino, is perfect for those who don't want others to see their eyes. Among them, the DX3 L is particularly highly regarded, and this season all DX3 L models have been updated to photochromic models!

Designed with a fit and lenses tailored to Japanese people, these glasses are also compatible with eyeglasses. Only the official Japanese distributor offers Japan Fit and Japan LUMA lens compatibility, making this a truly "Japan-exclusive" model

The DX3 L "LUMALENS PHJ.GOLD ION" that we're introducing today has a blue appearance from the inside, making it close to what you see with your bare eyes, while the gold lens on the outside makes it perfect for people who don't want others to see their eyes. We highly recommend this to skiers who have struggled to find goggles that fit them!

These goggles have lenses that are perfect for Japanese snowy mountains, and they're also reasonably
priced, which is great. Goggle prices have been rising noticeably in recent years, but the EK1 is only ¥21,000, making it easily accessible. Plus, the frame is soft, providing an excellent fit to the face, and the large lenses offer great visibility.

Also noteworthy are the Japan-exclusive lenses, designed to suit the often-bad weather conditions at Japanese ski resorts. These lenses, primarily in gray, are characterized by their brighter appearance. If you dislike changing lenses to match the weather, try these Japan-exclusive lenses

The appeal of these goggles lies in their wide, frameless field of vision.
Released for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics, these new Oakley models have a very high usage rate among riders. With a lens area 64% larger than the flat-lens LINE MINER, they offer an exceptionally wide field of view that feels frameless.

Because it has a single lens, there's no fogging between the lenses, and the extra-thick sponge Asian fit provides a snug fit around the nose. I think this goggle is recommended for people who have trouble finding a good fit for their noses with overseas goggles

These cool-looking goggles, featuring a TUNED LENS,
were suddenly discontinued for the 25-26 season, but the ELECTRIC goggles are back for 26-27! They feature a magnetic design for easy lens replacement and a secure, non-slip construction. A bonus lens is included.

The TUNED LENS is excellent. It's a lens used only in the higher-end "KABURU" and "ROTECK" models, and it's highly resistant to fogging, allowing you to clearly see the conditions on the snow. For snow goggles, resistance to fogging is essential, right? And the goggle shape is cool. The balance between vertical and horizontal is good, making it a great fit for both men and women!

A must-have for backcountry adventures!
SWANS' "A-BLOW SYSTEM" allows for forced ventilation inside the goggles, which is incredibly helpful in backcountry situations, so I highly recommend it.

A hybrid of spherical and flat
lenses, this new model features a hemispherical lens that combines the wide field of view of a flat lens with the distortion-free vision of a spherical lens. While the frame isn't particularly large, it provides excellent field of view, especially in the lower left and right halves. It's lightweight and offers a very comfortable fit. A model with professional photochromic lenses, offering faster and wider photochromic adjustment, is also available.

The highly anticipated new SWANS model, "SiRON," features photochromic and polarized lenses
. Combining a classic frame design with SWANS' long-awaited photochromic and polarized lenses, the fit and lens colors are undeniably excellent, as expected from a Japanese brand. The fact that it incorporates high-performance lenses while remaining reasonably priced is also a plus!

With cutting-edge performance and a look reminiscent of the 80s, it's simply cool. With this, anyone can become a hero on the slopes!

, which reliably covers all weather conditions with a single lens,
the 4D series will finally be equipped with PRO photochromic lenses. PRO photochromic lenses offer twice the photochromic speed and twice the photochromic range of conventional photochromic lenses, making them lenses that reliably cover all weather conditions with a single lens.

Another recommended feature of the 4D series is its wide field of view in the vertical direction. In particular, when looking down (at things like the snow surface, clothing vents and zippers, or backpack buckles), you don't need to tilt your head down; you can see everything just by lowering your gaze. This is an experience that can only be had with the 4D MAG series

The natural view is almost as if you're skiing with your bare eyes.
Personally, I don't like spherical lenses and haven't used them before, but VITREA doesn't have a strong curvature, so I can wear it with confidence and have come to like it. The frame is wide both vertically and horizontally, so it sometimes feels like I'm skiing with my bare eyes. This season, the lenses have been updated to a magnetic system, making it even better.
