It may come as a shock to know that in the ‘90s, the “New Canadian Air Force” performed high altitude bombing in U.S. territory. All hell broke loose in the ski industry and it hasn’t been the same since. JP was part of the squadron that took freestyle past moguls and into new school arenas like park skiing and halfpipe. We’ve always had respect for athletes who push possibility beyond all sane limits, so we’re honoring J.P. with this special edition of our CROWBAR® Snow goggle.
Custom designs like this are all about inspiration, and maybe tearing off a chunk of what makes athletes like J.P. Auclair true originals with no apologies. With all his travels, J.P. says Tokyo is one of his favorite places on the planet, so JP and Oakley worked up the idea of a Tokyo subway map with some Oakley attitude at every stop. Two lens options are available, and both increase visual contrast to bring out detail and improve depth perception. Persimmon takes you from low light to medium-bright sun. Fire IRIDIUM® balances light on bright days and begs for sun-baked altitude.
Our CROWBAR® Snow goggle gives you the all-day comfort of triple-layer fleece foam that pulls moisture away from skin. Specially formulated anti-fog treatment helps keep your vision clear, and the wide-angle architecture opens your view with the clarity of patented XYZ OPTICS®. Strap connectors balance the pressure of the lightweight yet durable O MATTER® frame. You get a true anatomical fit that maxes out your range of view and optimizes protection, thanks to impact resistance that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards.
