How healthy is the market in Europe?
Rossignol is a very small actor in the goggles market – so for the moment, we are not subject to market changes

Pre-orders were harder than in past years because of the Covid-19. There was no impact on our supply chains and deliveries

The MAGNE’LENS will be available for men & women. It fits the MAGNE-CLICK Technology – as well as a Thoric lens / OTG solution / Siliconized strap / 3-density face foam.

What are the tints/colours on trend this season?
Black is always very commercial – we also have many new colours linked to the textile collections. On the lens side – multilayers are still the trend – and we developed many different colours for our new MAGNE’LENS goggle

How important is helmet compatibility in your strategy?
The compatibility between our helmet and goggle product lines is extremely important in order to offer the best fit, providing adjusted shape, thermal insulation, optimal ventilation and protection. This compatibility is extremely important to maximize comfort. In addition to the compatibility in terms of fit, we aim at matching graphics of helmets and goggles, selecting the same colours, designs and design details

What new technical features are debuting for 2022/23?
MAGNE’CLIC Technology.
Rossignol MAGNE’CLICK technology provides a very quick lens switch to keep the best vision possible when the weather changes. Thanks to magnets and small clips, the lens is easily secured on the frame to avoid any lens movement throughout the ski ride.

Which lens technologies/coatings are key for next season?
ZEISS & SONAR By ZEISS is still a focus on our MAVERICK & AIRIS goggles. Instant recognition of features on uneven terrain (moguls, crevasses, icy patches, etc.) is key to avoiding injury. Rossignol has selected the technology and the specific know-how of the
specialist in optics ZEISS. Some lenses feature ZEISS SONAR, distinguished by the fact that it maximizes the light transmitted and eliminates the «blue light» effect behind the retention of certain wavelengths, in order to improve contrast, optimize colours and increase the definition of moguls and dips in the piste, whatever the light conditions, guaranteeing increased safety at all times.
