Our goggle requirements have always been pretty simple: if the lenses keep branches, snow, and ice from hitting us in the eyeballs without fogging and we can see out of them without squinting, we’re stoked. That said, these new Dragon APX winter eye coverings look pretty dope.
Here’s what Dragon says:
. . . the APX goggle has proven to withstand the harshest, most technically demanding conditions. The flagship product of the line, the APX goggle,literally redefines what a goggle can be with our new patent pending Infinity Lens Technology. By completely eliminating the frame profile with this innovative lens system, the APX goggle has maximum peripheral vision and the highest level of performance. LESS IS MORE…APX

In a shockingly conservative veto California Governor Jerry Brown slammed the door on Senate Bill 105 that hoped to require helmets on the slopes for anyone under 18, according to a story in the Sacramento Bee.
Brown says in a veto message Wednesday that helmets provide protection, but parents can and should make good choices for their children without the state getting involved. . . The Democratic governor says “not every human problem deserves a law.”
And on that we have to agree. California voters likely hope this is an attitude Gov. Brown continues with in other areas as well.
