17 Zowa Optics Zowa Optics Goggles Redefined Goggles Redefined Over the last several seasons, we've been running a unique form of eye protec on, the Zowa Op cs Visor Goggle. Designed from a clean slate, the Zowa goggles seal under your eyes like a tradi onal goggle but seat on the helmet instead of the forehead. During snow-bike adventures last winter, we had several sets of eye protec on, including tradi onal dirt bike goggles that fogged over immediately and soon proved to be useless. Heated shields require a power source, one we did not have. What worked incredibly well and actually saved the day were the Zowa Op cs Visor Goggle. For snow-bike riding, we found the Zowas to be the best tool for the job. Their thermal 365 goggle was especially resistant to fogging, with more room inside the goggle for air flow. Where they really shined was an increased field of vision. It's refreshing when something new comes along that's so different and impressive. As for woods riding and racing, I flat-out love them. At last month's AHRMA Anthracite Cross Country, I grabbed my Zowa goggles. The increase in periferal vision is amazing, a big windshield so to speak. They provide a clear view with no distor on in the slightest. I've been running Quick Straps for years in order to combat google fogging and didn't have the me to set my new Zowas up with a Quick Strap but soon learned fogging would be a non-issue in this case also. As a rider and racer who's blind in one eye, peripheral vision is of utmost importance, and the increased field of vision is greatly appreciated. In fact, I won my class wearing Zowas that par cular day. For those who wear glasses, Zowas are also OTG- compa ble. Hats off to Zowa for their unique, quality design. We like products that make sence.
