One of the happiest moments of my life is when I say up from the chair at the laser eye clinic and could see the clock across the room with precision acuity. The docs had transformed me from Mole Man to Better Than 20/20 Man in a matter of minutes, and my life changed dramatically.

Before the surgery, goggles were just a protective shield from dirt, debris, snow and wind. I couldn’t really see much anyway, so optics weren’t much of a factor. These days, you can bet I care. Strap on a good set of goggles, and there’s no going back.

These Oakley Prizm lenses are by far the best I’ve used. Oakley’s claims that the Prizm lens helps to define subtle transitions in dirt conditions are true — the increased contrast and definition, even on grey days or in the dark single track sections of the rain forest I ride, really help me pick my lines without hesitation.

And these lenses are tough. I’m hard on my gear, both on trail and in transit. These lenses take a beating, and the frames are robust, without being clunky. Good fit, breathability and a smart lens change system are just the icing on the cake.

I’ve tried a lot of goggles in my new, vision-improved life, and I honestly can’t see myself straying from these goggles any time soon. —Brian Peech

From Oakley: Prizm™ MX lenses help you see subtle transitions in dirt conditions so you can master all those split-second decisions. With high-impact resistance that makes you invincible, this landmark of technology is the first even MX design with a lens of pure Plutonite™.  It’s the new standard of protection and it lets you take the adapt-and-conquer approach with Oakley Switchlock™ Technology, the secret to fast and easy lens changing.  The view is wide open,  the comfort is beyond reason and the performance leaves other goggles scrambling for second place.

NEW ML Coast Mountains Winter-Spring ’23 Issue is OUT NOW! 🙌
There are some first times that we will always remember. Like the time I skied off-piste through the alpine highlands of le parc national de la Gaspésie.

With four decades of ice canoeing under his belt, Jean Anderson has dominated a sport that's unique to Quebec and that he helped shape.

Winter commute with #mountainlifer @michelle_pittam ❄️🚵‍♀️🌲
@lhymnedestrembles.ca is no mirage. Set in the lush Laurentian forest, yet easily accessible (less than an hour and a half from Montreal), this luxurious ski-in ski-out residential resort by @groupebrivia is nestled at the foot of the Versant Soleil side of Mont Tremblant. The Tremblant region is a perennial destination for outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, and within the province, attracting 3.5 million visitors annually.
ML staff and gear partners highlight the latest jackets, boards, crampons, hoodies, insoles and bindings in alpha order. #Linkinbio to learn more!
Adventures like this one require an inspiring team. @timemmett is a longtime friend, adventure partner and extraordinary human; an explorer, pro climber, surfer, freediver—you name it. @luca.freediver is an incredibly talented freediver, fresh off breaking the Canadian national freediving record (85 metres). The fourth man on the team, @brianhockenstein, is a filmmaker and multi-talented snowboarder always ready to jump into the fray and capture the magic. - words Jimmy Martinello. #Linkinbio to learn more!
