One of the pro shop's strengths is its ability to evaluate products from multiple perspectives and compare numerous brands based on the wealth of knowledge it has accumulated, trials on snow, and user feedback. The "how you see" with goggles affects the enjoyment and safety of skiing, so I'm careful when choosing goggles. So, we asked professional connoisseurs what they think is the best goggle for them, and they want users to know how good it is. In the 2021-22 season, which one is the “preferred model” of the pro shops? !
Highly recommend・ GOGGLES

Fullmarks Harajuku The field of view is 25% wider than the previous model, and the shape and band specifications for helmets, which have become standard in Japan, provide more stability when worn. The CLARITY lens, which is a high-contrast lens, makes it easy to see changes in the slope.

ski&snowboard shop Narrows This model has a particularly wide field of view in the lateral direction. There are 5 types of high-contrast lenses "JAPAN LUMA LENS" that match the climate of Japan and Japanese people, and the resolution is high, ensuring stress-free visibility in any weather.
There is also a photochromic lens. The upper sponge ventilation, which is most susceptible to damage, is covered with a resin armor vent.
Of course, it is a Japan fit that matches the Japanese skeleton, and the fit is perfect.

TOYRU Incredible field of view! Since the bottom of the frame is also a lens, you can see the buckle on the chest, which was not visible until now, while wearing goggles. The ChromaPop lens is also very easy to see. You can grasp the slope situation even when the light is weak and the contrast is not clear.

lenses jointly developed with Carl Zeiss at Fullmarks Kyoto Designed to enhance contrast and brightness for maximum visibility. Since using POC, the unevenness of the slope is easier to see and safety has increased, so I can skate more comfortably and enjoyably.
