From the Interwebs, we find that Vallon, a high-end eyewear company, is based in the Netherlands, has its “spiritual” home in Verbier, Switzerland, and was founded by two Swedish brothers. While we’ve been eyeing Vallon for a bit, we had an internal request for some new goggles to review, so we waited until we found something that piqued our interest.
A few weeks ago, Vallon introduced their Crossroads goggles. While we often wait for the dust to settle on gear, the Crossroads seemed like a good fit for a THR review. As any goggle aficionado can tell you, goggles, their lenses, and field of vision have expanded over the last decade or so. And it is so with the Crossroads: they offer big-bold lenses, a face-wrapping full-field-of-vision curvature (man, that reads like ad-copy), a wide and stable strap, interchangeable lenses (more on that), and a Zeiss affiliation to boot: the lenses are manufactured by Zeiss, a name associated with the highest quality lenses (think cameras and optical instruments).
