Because the weight is so minimal, these make for great hiking and driving glasses causing no fatigue to the eyes or face from wear. Spring hinges allow for a comfortable fit every time.
All CAMP glasses are made from a plant based bioplastic made from castor seeds. This process allows SHWOOD to create a more environmental friendly product by avoiding petroleum-based plastics. Constant experimentation and the drive to make a sunglass that stands out in a industry full of copycats, SHWOOD is rising like a Cheetah and has pioneered over 25 new materials into the eyewear industry.

They also make a variety of first aid kits and multi-day supply packs. Don’t hesitate to check those out for the guy in your life. I personally carry the First Aid Pro with me because of the MOLLE system that allows me to attach it to a ATV/outdoor vehicle, or my 511 backpack. The personalization option for the First Aid Pro allows me to add in a chemical ice pack and suture closure kit.
Challenger goggles are where Glade gets serious. Most goggles don’t fit my face very well and I tend to ski trees and moguls exclusively. I need something that works in lower light and gives me enhanced depth perception. Last season I went all in on a $250 pair of high end goggles that have been nothing but a disappointment . While they work well in low light they don’t fit as well as I want and they are constantly fogging and icing up. I took the Ten Mile helmet and Challenger goggles with me on a Cat ski trip this last weekend with my father. With 14 inches of fresh snow we were expecting an epic day. What we didn’t anticipate was a warming trend that hit and we found ourselves with surprisingly good snow but poor visibility and very light rain. The Challenger goggles weathered through with me. What I didn’t have was fogging, slipping or a poor fit.
Glade Challenger Goggles can be found on their website HERE.
If none of these work, I suggest getting him the puppy you’ve always wanted.
Happy Holidays and Safe Travels!
