First Tracks Online Ski Magazine Recommends Numa

Online Holiday Ski Gift Guide: Gadgets and Accessories

Getting a clear view - In the ever changing market of eyewear makers we’ve found a new player in the game. Numa Tactical bills itself as the “toughest eyewear out there,” and makes four different frame styles from a proprietary frame material that is virtually unbreakable. You can crumple the frames into a ball in your hand, yet they spring back to life instantly when released. The matte finish is aesthetically pleasant, the frames are exceptionally light in weight (less than an ounce) and both interchangeable polarized lenses - ideal for reducing the glare of sun on snow - and prescription options are available. The SWAT model features small openings in the upper corner of each distortion-free lens for venting, and even while working up a serious sweat they barely fogged at all. The wrap-around style kept out the elements for a “goggle like” feel.
