What do customers expect from their goggles?
We believe that customers are much more aware of the various attributes that make up a really good goggle. Colour curve, safety and sustainability are more relevant than ever
What were your biggest sellers in FW21/22 and why?
Fovea, Orb and Opsin have all performed really well. We have introduces a “mid” size to all those styles which provided even more precise goggle fit
Where do you expect the biggest growth for FW22/23?
We have a new model, Zonula, which will provide a new perspective (literally) to the range and will support all our existing styles
What are the most important technological features in your FW22/23 collection?
Our new goggle, Zonula, features a bunch of new innovations. The newly designed frame and outriggers allow the goggles to create a sleek profile with larger helmets, but most importantly it provides a 200° visibility. Together with our Clarity lens technology the impact on the users vision is significant. In addition we are using bio based plastics in the frame.
