Mike French, Master of Leisure Arts
Hit the mountain with goggles that keep you dialed from first chair to après. The 4D MAG gives an expanded field of view so you can read the terrain, track friends, and spot every line with ease. Quick-change Mag lenses let you adapt to any light, while ChromaPop boosts contrast so bumps and shadows pop. Comfortable foam, AirEvac vents, and a silicone strap keep them steady all day. See everything, shred hard, and never miss a moment.
