Definitions

  • Eyewear can be functional, fashionable, minimal, or a combination of these characteristics, but a considerable amount of known eyewear is over-engineered to the point where it looses some of its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
  • ski goggles are designed to seal against a user's face to prevent cold air, snow, and debris from interfering with vision.
  • sealed eyewear reduces breathability, which can lead to fogging and icing issues that counteract the intended purpose.
  • goggle makers have increased the air volume within the goggle and introduced double-walled lenses, which negatively impacts the product's optical and aesthetic qualities.
  • ski goggle straps are typically too uncomfortable to wear under a helmet, but also do not mount well to the outside surface of a helmet, especially once strap-securing devices on the helmet have broken.
