POC lobes

By Ranked #8 - Goggles January 2, 2009

What’s better then than 3 Swedish women comforting each other in a sauna on cold winters night?

Nothing, of course...

However the Lobes goggle from POC aren't to shabby.

Not only do they make you look and feel like you’re at the helm of an f-16 fighter jet, but they actually stand up to the test in all elements.
With these lady killers your turning heads all day, while not having to turn your own to see what’s going on. The Lobes give you unprecedented peripheral vision, making stealth missions easy to accomplish.

As well as protecting your eyes and much of your face from snow, ice, rain, headwind, tree branches etc - and naturally also assisting your vision in different light conditions - POC have worked on optimizing the field of view on all goggles. Research has shown that simply increasing the field of view allows you not only to see better generally, but to perceive details in your peripheral vision. This in turn speeds your reaction time. All goggles use a cellulose propionate inner lens to optimize anti-fogging properties, and in the case of double lenses, a polycarbonate outer lens for durability and a penetration resistance. All lenses are anti-scratch and anti-fog treated

If you haven’t heard of POC or been gobsmacked by a hot Swede sporting a pair, read on.

POC is a Swedish company committed to revolutionizing the quality and degree of protection of helmets and body armor purpose-designed for alpine skiers. We are achieving this by using the very latest high-tech materials and design techniques developed in close cooperation with world-class injury and safety specialists.
Lobes are our newest ski goggles, with a huge lens to optimize the field of vision. The inspiration comes both from Swedish architect Sigurd Lewerents, who puts his windows outside the facades, and from astronaut Neil Armstrong. The lens of Lobes is a perfectly shaped spherical surface to minimize optical distortion.

They just make ya wanna rip!

POC Lobes, sick goggles.
