What is high-contrast lens VIVID?
D" is an original collaboration with Carl Zeiss, a German optical equipment manufacturer that manufactures high-quality lenses.
Over the years, companies have used various methods to come up with solutions to how clearly they can show the unevenness of a clean snow surface, but VIVID is unique among them.
which has been considered to have an adverse effect on vision, it captures only the necessary types of blue light.
Since the original color of snow is blue, it is better to leave only the necessary amount of blue light, rather than cutting all blue light, so that even minute unevenness can be seen. The VIVID lens is the result of repeated fine-tuning to determine which kind of blue light is needed.
'21 season lineup
GIRO has a wide range of goggles and helmets. The main lineup is as follows.
Here, let's take a look at the models we want to use in more active scenes such as backcountry and park scenes.
Semi-spherical lens equipped with EXV+, which has the largest field of view new this season
A new model CONTOUR designed especially for core riders, condensed with consideration, consideration and attention to detail. It comes with a lens that implements EXV + (Expanded View) technology created by GIRO's field research. It is generally thought that the larger the lens, the wider the field of view, but the key is the relationship between the frame and lens shape. Therefore, the lens curvature (6 x 1.5 degrees) semi-spherical lens called this EXV + was developed. It also has a quick change lens system that uses magnets, making it easy to change lenses. If you get a new view, the fun of sliding should reach another dimension.
<AXIS>Standard model of the brand
AXIS boasts great popularity among riders for its stylish appearance and convenient quick change lens system. Two self-locating magnets and four pins hold the lens securely, allowing quick replacement. One of the reasons for its popularity is that the lenses are not too large and fit well on the faces of Japanese people.
<METHOD>Flat lenses boasting solid popularity
METHOD (Method) has all the functions required for goggles, such as wide field of vision and comfort, with high standards. Two VIVID lenses for fine weather and cloudy weather are attached at the time of purchase. The EVAK Vent System, a microscopic ventilation hole at the top of the goggles, releases moisture inside the goggles and keeps your vision clear.
<GRID MIPS>Packed with top-notch technology
GRID MIPS packed with ultra-lightweight and high functionality.
POLARTEC is used for the inner, and it has excellent heat retention, breathability, and odor resistance. Equipped with Mips Spehrical, an evolution of the shock buffer system Mips. This is a system that dampens the torsional force applied from an angle, which is the most dangerous during gliding, by rotating the inside of the helmet. By connecting the shell and EPP (expanded polypropylene) foam with a rubber resin called elastomer, each moves independently and reduces damage to the head. It is also noteworthy that the simple mechanism has improved durability while promoting further ventilation.
<JACKSON MIPS>Ultra-lightweight model with a sleek silhouette
A lightweight helmet that focuses on design and style with simple decorations. The passive aggressive venting system, which allows air to flow through the entire helmet from the vents on the front, releases the hot air inside the helmet, not only when gliding but also when stopped. It is popular for its smart appearance, designed so that it does not make your head look big even when worn with a modest brim. Big mountain skier Masahiro Yamaki also loves this product.
<NEO MIPS>Perfect fit for Japanese heads
The NEO MIPS Asian Fit model was born from a thorough study of the shape of the Japanese head. It is developed based on the head form that was created by digitizing a large number of Japanese head samples and repeating verification. There are two types of ventilation. One is a head control system that freely adjusts the temperature of the entire helmet. The other is stack ventilation that releases hot air inside the goggles. Even people who sweat a lot can enjoy skiing and snowboarding comfortably.
<LEDGE MIPS>Goes well with park style
Skate style helmet with a classic look. Equipped with the multi-directional impact protection system MIPS, the lightweight and durable hard shell structure protects the head from severe impacts. The breathable, removable Auto Loc2 fit system keeps you comfortable all day long, even when you're riding hard in the park.
GIRO Founding Story
About 30 years ago, GIRO was founded by Jim Gentes to solve the problem of not having the best gear to use comfortably and safely.
Changes in the environment surrounding the snow industry and the evolution of gear never stop, but the GIRO brand concept has not changed since its founding. In order for slippers to perform at their best, products with a focus on protection are created. For that reason, development is being carried out without allowing the creators to compromise.
For example, goggle nose bridges, lens mounting points, VIVID lens spectral curves, headforms, vent chambers, etc., have had weeks of discussions with developers on sub-millimeter differences. Many GIRO products are born with such thoughts.
