Ski, snowboard, and MTB goggles and spare lenses
The factory that produces our goggles is known for its deep commitment to innovation. It’s no wonder it crafts the finest goggles in the game. We’re continually amazed by its ability to transform our designs into a reality. And through the years, its team has done this while reducing its environmental impact and continually improving working conditions. Because the factory handles all aspects of the production process, it’s been an essential advocate and ally in our efforts to focus more heavily on ecologically conscious design.

When not collaborating on fresh ideas, we’re likely bowling with the crew or playing ping pong or basketball. To say the least, everyone on the team has some serious skills.

Shock absorbing components for our ski, snowboard, and MTB body protectors, as well as our protective backpacks and ski and snowboard gloves
In 2010, we began looking for a new shock absorbing material, as we were starting to the see the limitations of the PU foam that we had been using. Despite our extensive research and meetings with numerous factories, we kept coming up empty-handed. And then, suddenly, our luck changed when we found the perfect partner for developing the perfect material. After three years of continual testing and experimentation with this new partner in Taiwan, we developed the Slytech™ Foam, a material that has given rise to endless opportunities. From back protection to knee pads, it’s as versatile as it is dependable. We’ve worked relentlessly with the factory to improve the material, its shape, and how we produce it. Since partnering with this factory, we’ve come to admire its approach to innovation more and more each year. We love collaborating with its team to fuel progression and envision fresh applications for the materials we’ve created.
