49R Goggle Case + Gondom Goggle Cover - REVIEW

  • 2011-05-14 16:11:52
    49R Goggle Case and Gondom Goggle Cover

    Have you ever spent $200 on goggles and within the week they are full of scratches and dents? The manufacturer's supplied cloth case didn't really offer as much protection as you had hoped? Been there, done that. Enter Tailgate Industries new products:


    49R Goggle Case:

    The beauty of the 49R Goggle Case lies in its simplicity and design (ok the fabrics are pretty cool too). In order to reduce bulk and weight the 49R Goggle Case is simply a rigid piece of 100% recycled HDPE plastic with a cloth backing enclosure system. The plastic protects your goggles lenses from rouge impacts and crushing forces often found in your pack over the course of a day of ski touring.


    Gondom Goggle Cover:

    The Gondom Goggle Cover protects you goggles for those helmet heads who store their goggles on the helmet when not in use. The thick neoprene fabric cover simply slips onto your goggles once you are finished your days skiing and stays put thanks to it's elastic shock cord trim.
