Optic Nerve Antero Erupter

After a weekend in Little Cottonwood Canyon looking through the Optic Nerve Antero Erupter goggles, I have to ask myself one question. Why did I ever spend twice as much for a pair of goggles? The Antero did everything one would expect from a pair of goggles. They even fogged up. That is right they fogged up just a little above the eyes. Lets put some perspective on that "downfall". If you skied Snowbird this past weekend you would have been in the 36 degree rain, snow, sleet, rain again snow again conditions. Take those conditions with dense fog , high humidity, high body temps and a 20 minute boot pack with a FLY LOW puffy jacket on. Do the math! Any goggle would have fogged up and from my experience some would fog more. So, I am giving the goggles complete slack on this issue as the fog cleared relatively quickly as i started skiing! The one issue is field of vision, granted these are medium size and they have bigger frames. Even for a medium the pinch in the middle seemed a little tight for my liking. The positives still outweigh the negatives as there really are no negatives. Lens was perfect, no fogging unless under EXTREME conditions, comfortable (although the foam could be wider to add comfort and facial contact. The design is solid and not too over the top with graphics. I wiped the lens every run with a simple napkin, not advised but I didn't have the cloth carrying case. The lenses handled that without a scratch. Durability is still under question as two days cant answer that...
Bottom line: When you stand in the retail store or look on screen, don't pass them up. For the price you can get two pair and eventually treat yourself to that NEW GOGGLE day sometime in March!!

Optic Nerve Antero Erupter Goggles

The crew over at Optic Nerve sent us some goggles to run through the mill. We are headed to Utah for a little Snowbird and Alta snow so the timing couldn't be more perfect. Optic Nerve is a Colorado based company and has been around for 25 years. Check them out
Right out of the box the Optic nerves feel just like any high end goggle, Being a devote Smith sun glass and goggle guy it is tough to jump ship. Two things about "nerve" make me think change. Company core beliefs and price point. Check out the charity work, programs and events they sponsor. Good chance you took advantage of one of those events or believe in one of the charities or environmental philosophies. Price point, these Antero goggles are 69$ MSRP. beat that with a comparable goggle, you cant. So off to Utah to "see" if these babies do us right. Field of view, durability, lens function, comfort. Thanks Optic Nerve and keep it up
