Snow joke: you can now get Fender Tweed ski goggles

Iconic guitar names are big brands, and that means moving outside the comfort zones of guitar gear into lifestyle and other specialist areas. But did anyone see Fender Tweed ski goggles coming? 

But here they are – and a whole range at that. Made by Giro Sport Design, these are premium eyewear; no gimmicks here with the technology they are packing into these.

Further up the chain of the three-model range is Giro x Fender Contour Goggle in Black Tweed ($270) with EXV+ Tech for 'unparalleled peripheral vision', a quick change lens system using self-locating magnets for fast lens swaps, Toric VIVID lens tech with optics by Zeiss to mimic the shape of the human eye, Evak Vent Tech to minimise fogging. 

And they're available in two Fender finishes; Cloudburst and Seafoam Green.
