Fog. As skiers and snowboarders, it’s one of our arch enemies. While fairly infrequent for me (not enough powder days, ever!), it’s definitely a bummer when I’m forced to stop riding to deal with fogged goggles.

What is A-Bom?

A-Bom goggles are made up of a patented system called KLAIR™, which places an  invisible heat-conductive film between a pair of lenses that heats up to eliminate fog. A battery sends a current through the film to heat the lens. When on, the system is designed to prevent fog from formingAbom calls it “Active Anti Fog” technology (vs so called “fog resistant” goggles).

Does it work?

Yes! With two great powder days, we had the perfect test conditions here in Colorado last weekend. With face shots and falls all day, and the Abom system set to “Always On”, I had no issues with fogged lenses.

LOVE IT

  • No fog! Ever!
  • Great optics

LEAVE IT

  • Noticeably heavier than most other goggles
  • Large Fit – I typically wear goggles designed for small to medium faces. The Abom is a bit on the large side for me. A smaller version would be a nice option.

 

BOTTOM LINE

If you are the type of rider or skier who regularly experiences fogged lenses, and avoiding this is the most important feature on a snow goggle,  the A-Bom Goggle might just be your savior.
