Why the Shred Optics Gratify Goggles Should be Your Next Goggle.
I was fortunate to get my hands on the new Gratify goggle from Shred Optics with their new CONTRAST BOOSTING LENS™ 2.0 lens tech. I put the Shred Optics Gratify Goggles through the test in a variety of conditions, it’s clear that these goggles offer a blend of style and superior performance. Whether you’re riding on bright, bluebird days or in flat, overcast light, the Gratify goggles deliver exceptional clarity and comfort.
- Exceptional Lens Technology: The Gratify goggles feature NEW Contrast Boosting Lens 2 (CBL 2) technology, which is only available on select goggles from SHRED and are perfect for enhancing visibility in both flat and bright light. On cloudy days, the lenses excel at amplifying contrasts, helping you spot terrain variations more easily. On sunny days, the goggles reduce glare while still providing a crisp, vibrant view of the snow.
- Wide Peripheral Vision: One of the standout features of the Gratify goggles is their expanded peripheral vision. The lenses offer an ultra-wide field of view, allowing you to see more of your surroundings without turning your head. This wide vision range is ideal for all-mountian, freeride, park, and keeping an eye on the landscape around you.
- Stylish and Functional Design: The Gratify goggles are as stylish as they are functional. Their sleek, frameless design not only looks great but also fits comfortably with most helmets. The goggles also feature anti-fog technology, so even in wet, stormy conditions, your vision stays clear and unobstructed.
- Durable and Comfortable: Comfort is key, and Shred Optics has nailed it with the Gratify goggles. The triple-layer face foam creates a snug fit without pressure points, even after hours of riding. The adjustable strap keeps the goggles secure on your helmet without slipping, no matter how aggressive your riding gets. Plus, they’re durable enough to handle the wear and tear of a full season, or more, of riding.
