The Balance Goggles from Giro feature a classic full frame style packed with modern vision technology, whilst the VIVID lens from Optics by ZEISS provide enhanced contrast and clarity compatible with Giro helmets. Created in Giro's test lab in Scotts Valley, California, these new goggles have been designed to give you wide-angled peripheral vision. The frame has been shaved down around the rim and is completely non-existent in some places to remove any obstacles from restricting your field of vision.
We found the Balance comfortable to wear - they are light on your face and that slim frame feels great, unlike some goggles that are oversized and bulky. The triple-layer face foam with micro fleece facing is lovely and soft against you skin and forms a perfect seal. The anti-fog coating is excellent - even after a hard ride with a hot face, the goggles remained clear and comfortable; you can put them on and forget you are even wearing them. Giro has a full range of performance-engineered, polycarbonate lenses in a wide variety of lens tint options for specific light conditions, from bright blue skies with blinding sunshine to angry storm clouds. All the lenses filter 100% of harmful UV and features a tough, durable coating that not only resists fogging but is also scratch-resistant. The lenses are also quick and easy to switch in and out, so you can change them as quickly as the weather changes.
The Balance Goggles we received came with the Loden Green lens, with a rather striking blue to green radiant design. Rated S2, they are best suited for mixed cloud conditions and offer 19-42% visible light transmission - an excellent choice to cover most bases. We love the Balance Goggles: they offer great optics in a full range of conditions and provided excellent peripheral vision - a great choice for the slopes. RRP £108.73
