CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 25, 2006--Spy is pleased
to announce the release of the Omega(TM) Snow goggle, a breakthrough
goggle that is poised to set a new standard in the industry. The
Omega(TM) utilizes patented Scoop(TM) Ventilation Technology, advanced
optical engineering principles, and features Spy's Triple layer
Isotron(TM) face foam.
Integrating extensive testing and feedback from dozens of
professional riders, including Spy professional Snowboard athlete
David Carrier Porcheron and Spy professional Ski athlete Dave
Crichton, Spy's product design focus revolved around three critical
goals: introducing a new optical benchmark in goggle peripheral
vision, integrating Spy's powerful Scoop(TM) Ventilation Technology,
and developing a goggle with the comfort and style inherent to Spy
products.
The Omega(TM) features patent-pending Isotron(TM) foam, a triple
layer face-foam system featuring the moisture-wicking Dri-Force(TM)
fleece.
The low-profile, optical geometry of the Omega(TM) allows for a
maximum field of vision. The sweeping view through the oversized,
anti-fog- and anti-scratch-treated, cylindrical dual lens allows for a
true, clear, panoramic viewing experience.
Spy's proprietary Scoop®ventilation system was integrated into
the Omega's(TM) frame design. Engineered ventilation ducts are placed
at the base of the frame to direct air away from riders' eyes, while
increasing inner frame ventilation.
The Omega(TM) frame design follows in the brand's storied history
of innovative aesthetics, unparalleled attention to detail, and
premium optical technology. The frame's design is comprised of sharp
overlays and increased volume in multiple, raised planes. "The look
was inspired," said Spy Creative Director Jerome Mage, "by angular
stealth jets, evil Star Wars Sith masters, the lines and toughness of
classic American muscle cars, and the luxurious vibe of old
Cadillacs." Proprietary design, hand-crafted detailing, and creative
individuality influence all seven styles of the Omega(TM).
