Falcon Goggles from Outdoor Master with ZEISS Lens

We’ve been trying out the latest goggles from Outdoor Master over the last month – The Falcon with a ZEISS lens. Astounding clarity!

Carl Zeiss AG is one of the leading lens manufacturers in the World – they started making microscopes back in 1846, developed focal imaging eyeglass lenses in 1912 and were the largest camera manufacturer in the world by 1914.

The ZEISS lens does create a super HD like effect when you first look through it – everything seems to become sharper and more in to focus. On a sunny day, the appearance through the lens is that it is even brighter when putting the goggles on (although obviously there is full UV400 protection) – I suppose you’re not squinting in direct sunlight.

The MagKlick one second lens swap is so easy to use (and they come with a spare flat light Yellow lens) so changing lenses even in bad weather with gloves on is really easy. Or even more likely – you can actually be bothered to change the lens because it is so easy and effortless. For example, that last run at the end of the day down the Saulire bowl when it is all in the shade and the light has gone completely flat – now enjoy it for the sake of a few seconds changing your lens rather than thinking I’m nearly home it’s not worth the faff!

Misting up almost seems a thing of the past with the dual layer lenses, triple layer foam for optimised air flow and a special coating that absorbs moisture. The need to go faster to clear your goggles is no longer required…

The goggles come with a spare lens, pouch and a sturdy box with several colour lens options available. They seem to fit really snugly around all the helmets we’ve tried and can be used over most types of glasses too.

For less than £90 they are excellent value for a top end goggle and if you use code Latania you can get 15% off Falcon Cylindrical Zeiss Lens Ski Goggles
