 Poster: A snowHead
|
Any suggestions?
Background is that my friend runs a store selling high end glasses and sunglasses from small luxury brands and he asked me "who makes the most expensive, coolest, sought after ski goggles?"
I generally see goggles as a tool so form follows function; so didn't get much beyond Smith and Poc (on the basis that these are functionally very good and do have a bit of a bling factor about them, but nothing ridiculous); and some of the wearable tech ones (eg the Zeal goggles with built in POV camera).
What am I missing? What are the Russian oligarchs going to buy this year?
By all means post preposterous products too (provided they are ruinously expensive) so we can have a laugh

HMR, as always. Strictly speaking a helmet but the fighter pilot ones with a visor. Bollé and others compete, but not bling enough.
Everything from the Bogner Sport Kollektion.
Anything with the integrated screen in it, think Oakley Airwave but see Recon compatible models from various brands.
Note that although Russians who holiday in Europe are known to have money but no taste (or sense), they like things to match so it may be hard to sell goggles without a corresponding helmet.

albinomountainbadger, cheers. I think those are definitely the right target market; not sure there is room in his boutique for a load of helmets in different sizes though

There must be Chanel and Prada badged goggles out there. Blingy for the ladies gadgetted up for the fellas would be way to go I think. Bogner helmet/goggs combo would be a nice touch.

Dave of the Marmottes, I mentioned those to him but dismissed them on the basis that they are just rebadged versions of others; that said, most designer sunglasses come from the Luxottica factory in Italy so the market probably doesn't care
Peak Performance do rebadged Pocs

DB, they need to add an accelerometer which displays the force acting on your head when you crash into a rock because you're reading all that shite instead of concentrating on skiing.
