DRAGON
<h2>Dragon: a brief biography</h2> <p>Dragon was an early child of the early 1990s snowboarding boom. Springing from humble origins in a garage, Dragon set about designing goggles for pro athletes that encapsulated the vibrant counter-cultural style of the snowboarding movement with the latest in research and development. According to Dragon, they wanted goggles that “didn't make you look like a bug.� It is this attention to visual design combined with state-of-the-art technology that has left an indelible mark on the pistes. Since Dragon exploded onto the scene in 1993, it has become one of the best-loved brands in snowboarding. Best sellers include Dragon Alliance and the slightly larger X2. </p> <h2>The Gear</h2> <p>Dragon goggles are guaranteed to stand out from the crowd. Known for their vibrant ionized and matte lenses, dragon captures vivid greens, purples, reds, oranges, blues, smoke, and charcoals for memorable design tailored to a wide range of snow conditions. This is combined with attention to technical detail, such as rapid lens changing tech that is built for speed and efficiency. Heavy gloves are no barrier to the quick-click Swiftlock lens changing system, leaving you free to focus on getting the most action out of the slopes rather than wasting time fussing over your kit. </p> <h3>It's all about vision</h3> <p>The goggles typically include solid plastic venting that can stand up to any attack, allowing boarders to plunge straight back into the fray after a plunge. The venting also guarantees that any fog you encounter will be firmly on the outside of the lenses, whilst the UV blocking tech adds an extra layer of protection. For Dragon, this is all about a commitment to achieving 360-vision, a concept that is seen in many of the new rimless spherical designs as well as the optimised lens technology to give hyper-real definition. This gives you confident control of the slops, even in tough glare. </p> <h3>How do I choose the right goggles?</h3> <p class="mb-0">Dragon goggles come in various styles and sizes, although most are designed to fit the majority of faces and helmets. Most goggles are unisex, but ‘s' versions of some models are available for women and youths, and a handful of junior designs are sometimes released. The ‘one size fits all' appeal results from the wide nose and padding, which sculpts the goggle to snugly fit the face. Different lenses are better for different conditions, so check the terrain before you buy. </p>
