Julbo Starwind Goggles

Sunglasses work fine for most fair-weather backcountry skiing thanks to the superior airflow and venting while skinning. When the weather rolls in or the powder gets deep, goggles step in with extra protection. The issue with goggles is that when skinning they turn into a fishbowl of fog, sweat, and humidity, rendering them useless. Julbo took note of skiers’ demands for a goggle designed for backcountry skiing and dropped one of the most useful products on the market. Say hello to Starwind, the smaller framed version of the famed Aerospace. The Starwind features a slick patented-technology called Superflow that allows the user to lift the lens a few millimeters away from the frame on a set of small arms. This gives you 360° of airflow and venting while still retaining full lens-function. When it’s time to ski back down through a bowl of bliss, push the lenses back into the frame. The Starwind is all the benefits of goggles and sunglasses in one. If you wear a small or medium sized helmet and enjoy the finer things in life like the best eyewear in existence, try the Julbo Starwind goggles, you won’t be disappointed.

• SuperFlow system allows you to lift the lens away from the frame for full airflow performance while skinning. Just press on either side of the frame until you hear a small click and then it’s locked back in for downhill mode.
• Anatomic frame features perforations at key points throughout the frame for better sealing and comfort against your face.
• Spherical double lens is treated with an anti-fog coating.
• Axis straps have pivots in the back for better helmet compatibility.
• Dual layered foam features a more supportive layer close to the frame while the next to skin layer is soft and comfortable.
• Silicone lined strap mitigates yard sales during a tomahawk.
• Photochromic Lens changes from lightest to darkest mode in as little as 22 seconds.
• Minimalist frame offers unrestricted vision up, down, and to the side in spite of the smaller lens.
• Zebra lens is good for occasional dawn patrols and will darken plenty enough for days on the glacier.
• Zebra Light lens is the ultimate dawn patrol goggle and will still offer protection for many hours in direct sun.
• Cameleon is a polarized lens that can handle the brightest of the bright days, yet still lightens when overcast.
