About this Blog

After realising that I spend so much of my time mulling over and debating the going on in this seemingly huge, but in reality very small industry, I decided to start this Blog to write down all of my thoughts to clarify them in my own mind. You never know...........some of them may even make some sense to you, the reader as well!!!

Salomon Goggles hit the UK

Having dealt with Salomon for years now and seen them grow in to the worlds largest ski brand, selling products accross all aspects of skiing I have always asked why they have made everything you need for skiing but not made ski goggles?

Well, now they really do make it all and Salomon being Salomon haven't messed around in the lower echelons of the market but gone straight in at the top utlising new X-tend technology giving you 20% more vision




They have been kind enought to give me and the other half a pair to test at the end of last season. We both used them on a blue bird day in Tignes and found that as soon as you started skiing in them you can't help but notice the extra field of vision. Being used to testing products I did question whether or not I was noticing this due to their marketing but after a day in them decided all the hype around them was right - they really are better than other goggles on the market at tke moment. However I do believe Dragon have a goggle with a big field of vision about to hit the market so we will see how this one compares
