The next iteration of Dragon‘s Swiftlock Lens Technology is here. The new RVX OTG goggle features a one-sided lever to release the lens instantly, providing a faster and more secure way to change lenses when conditions change. With engineering improvements over the first generation, Swiftlock 2.0 allows for the RVX OTG to be Over-the-Glasses compatible.

The RVX OTG goggle is another in Dragon’s long line of technically innovative products that push the envelope in design direction. Add in the expansive Lumalens Color Optimized technology, Dragon’s Patented Frameless Design, and you’ve got a goggle you can trust and rely on in any conditions.

 

 

We tried out the RVX OTG with a Green Ion sunny-day lens and an Amber cloudy-day (or night-skiing) lens.  Looking through the Green Ion on a bright day you see loads of definition that glare would otherwise wipe out. Your landscape is transformed and all kinds of features materialize. And on a dull day, the Amber lens fills in a lot of detail where there used to be just a grey featureless wash. You feel safer on the mountain in both cases. And as a wearer of eyeglasses, I found the Over-the-Glasses compatibility to be a major plus on days when I’m not wearing contact lenses. The goggle holds my glasses well in place and provides enough ventilation that fogging isn’t a problem unless I’m hiking really hard. Plus the goggle lens itself boasts an anti-fog coating that actually works.

And the lens-changing system (controlled by a subtle, inset Swiftlock lever under your right eye) is truly useable by gloved or cold fingers.

Also New from Dragon Alliance:

The Cove LL Ion is part of  Dragon’s new Upcycled Collection, where style meets sustainability. Each frame is made from five recycled plastic water bottles. This sunglass offers 100-percent UV protection and features a classic-contemporary silhouette.

For its Upcycled Collection, Dragon manually separates, washes and cuts each plastic bottle into usable chips. They then press the chips into pellets, melt them down and mold them into frames. For every Upcycled frame made, that’s five fewer bottles that make it into a landfill or end up in our waterways.

In addition to the Upcycled Collection, Dragon makes the majority of its sunglasses with plant-based resin. This natural bio-based plastic is a smarter and much cleaner alternative to standard petroleum-based plastics. The material comes from castor bean oil, a renewable resource that is pressed, melted and injected into the sunglass frames.

Dragon is also a partner with the Surfrider Foundation, working on clean water initiatives through the Blue Water Task Force.

Finding that picture perfect moment with @sweenyj #mountainlifer
The winter that just keeps on given-er! 🤘#mountainlifer
FRIDAY FLICK 💥 This past March, speed mountaineer Benedikt Böhm @benediktboehm rocked a five-hour sea-to-summit expedition up Mount Parnassus in central Greece. Starting at sea level on his road bike at the village of Itea on the Gulf of Corinth, he climbed up to an altitude of 2.414 metres. #linkinbio to watch the film!
I had no idea what to expect from this trip, neither from bikepacking, a fancy term for cycle touring and a sport I’d never done before, nor from Kyrgyzstan, a country most people cannot find on a map. Carl, who I’d only just met recently after moving to Canada—I’d flagged him down after backcountry skiing after seeing his Montana license plate—had invited me on this trip while on a mountain bike ride. I said no. A few weeks later I figured, “Why not?”
The @rab.equipment  dynamic Cirrus Flex is a soft, lightweight hybrid synthetic insulation for mountain-friendly layering. Keeping you warm and perfectly suited to journey in the mountains. #TheMountainPeople #WeAreRab
"@normhann and I lashed paddleboards to the roof of his truck and headed north along the Island Highway, towards Telegraph Cove. Norm had invited me to tag along on a commercial paddleboard group he would be guiding in the Broughton Archipelago. Despite a long history of SUP expeditions, I harboured some reservations."
To date, more than 6,000 people have summitted Everest, the highest point on Earth at 8,848.86 metres of elevation above sea level. And only a tiny handful of those climbers have been Black.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the rad moms out there! Here’s our Art Director & Head Designer @calypsodesign getting cozy with some sharks. #mountainlifer #mothersday
