TBR-FAN SYSTEM

Until now it has been almost impossible for skiers to completely avoid the unpleasant experience of having their goggles fog up at snow resorts. The relationship between goggles and fogging is a significant theme that is unlikely to be completely resolved in the foreseeable future.

However, "SWANS" has taken a serious approach to this challenge and developed the TBR System as one solution. In this system, which is characterized by an ultra-small electric fan installed in the shell above the frame to block incoming snow-broth, the moisture that causes fogging inside the frame is efficiently driven out at the touch of a switch that can be easily operated even with a gloved hand.

Fresh air to replace the moisture discharged by the fan is introduced through the large air intakes provided at the front of the frame.

As the world's only one goggle product equipped with a built-in fan to date, the TBR-FAN SYSTEM is a Good Design Award winner.

"SWANS" sports glasses employ polycarbonate lenses with a shock resistance about ten times as high as that of glass. Indeed, this same material is used in the visors of space helmets. The performance of these lenses remains high even in severe environments where temperatures range between extremes. Made using Yamamoto Kogaku's own in-house developed world's-first technology for fusing polycarbonate with film for integral molding, these high-accuracy lenses feature high optical performance while simultaneously achieving ultra light weight and high shock and abrasion resistance.

Functions

• Blocks 99.9% of all ultraviolet light (UVA, UVB and UVC)
• Polarizing lens function prevents glare caused by diffused reflection
• Water repelling function instantaneously diffuses water drops to address bad weather or sweat and secure a clear view
• The curve and shape of the spherical lenses match the contours of the face to eliminate wind resistance and check the movement of air into the inside of the lenses as well as preventing unfiltered light from entering from the sides
