Intrepid Travel Peru – Story 1
Lake Titicaca has fascinated me ever since I was a child. Imagine living on man-made reed islands in the largest lake in South America and could the color of the water really be so dark blue that it is nearly purple? I couldn’t believe I was going to actually experience a Titicaca island home stay!
After heading out from Puno harbor in a motor boat, we stopped to explore the floating Uros Islands – built from many layers of totora reeds that grow in lake. It was here I met the Aymara speaking inhabitants, tried some river salmon and re-hydrated potatoes, joined in some games with local kids, climbed up the small viewing tower and browsed the museum filled with cases of stuffed regional of birds.
As we cruised to our overnight destination we marveled at the huge expanse of water in every direction. It was with great excitement I stepped on to the rich red soil of Amantani Island. I had been billeted out to a local family with another female Intrepid traveler.
Our home for tonight was at Mummy Melani’s and after a welcoming smile and brief introduction, we headed off on foot together. She was dressed in the traditional brightly colored multi-layered skirts, embroidered white shirt and black sandals made from discarded tire rubber. A small scarf covered her hair. She was a delight!
At 3,800 meters (12,467 feet) above sea level, the short walk took some time. As I stopped every few steps and gasped for air, our host looked on, mildly amused and with great patience. As we walked in through the courtyard, a small main adobe house to the right and our quarters to the left came into view.
A tiny wooden staircase led to the door and inside to our room. Two single beds with a table and chair. There were 5 alpaca blankets on each bed; a sign of things to come. No electricity, running water or plumbing. The squat outhouse was a short distance through the vegetable patch and doorless. It faced into the neighbors, and yes, they were all smiles when I went for a visit later that day, torch in one hand and paper in the other.
We settled in comfortably with an early dinner of fried eggs with potato wedges accompanied by lovely flower tea. Our host and her eldest daughter had prepared the meal over an outside fire.
My roommate and I sat out on the landing; the sun was shining and the view spectacular. We wandered to the water’s edge and were surprised at the pastel colors of the stones that had washed ashore. It was getting dark and the temperature was dropping rapidly.
At 8pm our group met up at the local hall on the island for the evening’s entertainment that had been arranged by our host families. There was beer and soft drink, music and dancing. As Quechua is the main language on Amantani, conversation was limited to a few words of Spanish and lots of hand signals and facial gestures.
The traditional folk dancing was fantastic but exhausting at that altitude. With tired but happy spirits we walked home with Mummy Melani. It was freezing so we were quick into bed and under the blankets that were heavy but very effective. Sleep came quickly.
Daybreak streamed through the small uncovered windows. I was anxious to leave the warmth of my bed. A quick wash of the face and a dash into our clothes; we were ready to meet up at the pier. Our homestay had come to an end. It was an unforgettable unique experience and one that would be relived many times in my memories and when chatting to family and friends.
Intrepid Travel Peru Story 2
Our group arrived in Puerto Maldonado after the flight from Cuzco. A short bus ride to the main jetty and then we boarded a motorized canoe for the journey ahead. For the next two days, home would be an eco-tourism lodge located on the Tambopata River within Tambopata Candamo Reserve.
After settling in to our bungalow, I was ready for some adventure. Off to meet up with our local guide and then a nature walk through the secondary rainforest. Light filtered through the dense canopy of trees as we made our way through the lush undergrowth that thrived in the heavily humid conditions.
Out came the binoculars and ornithology book so we could identify the varied birdlife. A tarantula hovered around his hole in the dirt and sounds of rainforest life were all around us. I saw a small furry creature scurry by my feet, perhaps a capybara? Rodents are big in South America!
After a good breakfast the next morning and a short boat ride further upriver, our guide led us on a 2 hour walk through the primary rainforest. He explained that many of the large species can be rare, shy, unpredictable and very difficult to see. The birds were easy to spot when we reached the clay licks. The macaws and other species of parrots and parakeets make their way to these salt deposits as it helps with their digestion.
We climbed into small canoes to paddle out on the lake for a closer look at the rainbow of colors high in the trees. Scarlet, red and green, red-bellied and many more; all flapping their wings and talking incessantly to each other. Butterflies in abundance; brilliant blues and some as big as the palm of my hand!
As the skies opened up and a torrent of rain teemed down, I started to think we had little chance of spotting a jaguar, then I could think of nothing except the piranha below in the murky water. Needless to say it was a fast paddle back to land before our canoe started taking in water!
The hike out was fantastic. By this stage we were completely drenched by the tropical downpour but fortunately cameras were protected in plastic bags in our packs. The trees towered above us, dark and mysterious with minimal light. The smells were amazing. Deep breaths; a chance to fill the lungs with this magical air. I couldn’t wipe the grin from my face, even though I was trying not to fall over in the mud.
As hard as I looked, the elusive jaguar was not to be seen. We had all strained our eyes in search of large sleeping cats with limbs outstretched and tails resting against tree trunks. They hid from us, but fortunately our efforts that day would not go unrewarded. Back at camp and in a dry change of clothes, after dinner we headed out for some caiman spotting and couldn’t believe our luck. Near these small alligators in the muddy river, lounging by the water’s edge was a cat in all its glory. It was more than a little camera shy and made a quick escape into the river as we approached… but what a brilliant experience!

climate change
Climate change is one of the most critical issues the world is facing today. Scientists are telling us that we must act with urgency to reduce our carbon emissions if we are going to stop catastrophic irreversible impacts to our precious home.
Here at Intrepid Travel, we’ve taken a long hard look at all our operations and have initiated various actions to reduce our contributions to global warming. We’re also endeavoring to help empower our staff and travellers to participate in emissions reductions measures.
carbon neutral
In December 2006, Intrepid Travel announced the goal of becoming a carbon neutral company in 2010. It was a massive goal but we are proud to say that we have achieved it! We’re pretty chuffed to be able to announce that Intrepid Travels business emissions (globally) are now carbon neutral and will have (net) zero carbon emissions from 2010 and every year there after!
In our journey toward carbon neutrality, Intrepid Travel underwent a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of our business. This was to help us recognize our impacts and identify the main sources of carbon emissions from our operations. From this process, we identified that our corporate emissions (offices and retail stores- globally), our trips and the flights that our passengers take to join an Intrepid tour, were our main sources of carbon emissions. We needed to come up with a way to address these areas and so the Carbon Management Plan was created.
our carbon management plan in a nutshell
Intrepid Travel carbon management plan is made up of the following principles:
A. Measure
This principle involves reviewing what Intrepid Travel already measures and understanding what we need to measure and monitor in order to be carbon neutral. We identified what we need to be measured by:
- reviewing CO2 data we were already capturing
- setting our organizational and operational boundaries boundaries (ie what emissions were we responsible for)
- creating a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory. The inventory is just a compilation of the different sources (within our boundary) which produce emissions that contribute to Climate Change (ie- electricity, business travel, waste etc).
As identified in the LCA, we concentrate on capturing data relating to our:
- corporate emissions
- trips
- passenger flights
B. Avoid/Reduce
This principle involves Intrepid Travel looking at activities through which emissions can either be avoided. eg. not having a light on in a vacant room or be reduced which decreases the intensity of the carbon emissions from activities that often can not be avoided. (eg. making lighting more efficient through the use of “greener” globes, using a more fuel efficient vehicle etc)
For emissions stemming from all Intrepid Travel offices/retail stores (this includes offshore companies where Intrepid has operational/policy control), Intrepid has put together a list of practical ways in which our offices and stores can avoid or reduce their footprint, including switching to an alternative energy source that may include sourcing from renewable sources or by exchanging fuel sources so that GHG impact is minimized eg. Converting to green energy to power the office.
With Intrepid Travel trips – they are low impact relative to other group travel due to their design. We travel in small groups, use local transport where we can and encourage our passengers to eat and shop in local eateries and stores.
Flights – we offer passengers an opportunity to offset their flights when they book their airfare through Intrepid to try and reduce total net impact of the trip. All Intrepid Travel staff flights for business are offset
C. Assess
This principle is used to reconcile all the actions and initiatives to reducing our carbon footprint and match them up to our objectives. Are we achieving our reduction targets? If not, a review will need to be conducted and new, feasible reduction opportunities will need to be sought.
D. Offset
A carbon offset is any project or initiative that indirectly reduces GHG emissions at one source by investing in GHG emissions reductions elsewhere – effectively balancing out GHG emissions.
Intrepid Travel offsets
- all residual emissions from its offices and stores (globally)
- all Intrepid trips (where Intrepid maintains pricing control)
- offers offsets on flights for passengers booking their airfare through Intrepid
Intrepid Travel ensures that the offsets purchased are:
- cost effective
- have accreditation according to a recognized international standard
- offered by an offset provider who is independently verified
- able to offer other benefits as well as carbon offsetting such as local employment or other economic contribution to the local communities where the projects are based (preferred but not essential)
Offsets are reviewed annually and information regarding the rigor in the science and methodologies as well as the providers behind offset products will be monitored.
This plan will see Intrepid Travel manage our carbon emissions and minimize our negative impact on the environment.
Want to give something back to the wonderful places where you have travelled? You can through The Intrepid Foundation. By contributing to one of the many projects supported by The Intrepid Foundation, you can make a difference in local communities – in health care, education, human rights, child welfare and in environmental and wildlife protection.
two ways you can help…
The Intrepid Community Project Fund
Donations to this fund go to the grassroots work of non-government organizations based in Intrepid Travel’s operating areas and identified as making a valuable contribution to the local community. These include many small organizations or projects that you may visit during your Intrepid trip.
The Intrepid Perpetual Support Fund account
The Intrepid Perpetual Support Fund account has been developed by The Intrepid Foundation Incorporated in conjunction with the Charities Aid Foundation Australia. All donations made to this account are equally divided each year: half is retained to conserve and grow capital for funding projects into the future and half is distributed to our current partner international non-government organizations.
All donations to both funds are matched by Intrepid Travel dollar for dollar.
Intrepid Travel trips are designed to go off the beaten track, meet the locals and travel in an unconventional way, joining locals on their transport, in their markets and even in their homes
Not only is Intrepid Travel a leader in small group adventure trips but it’s online efforts have also been receiving attention of late with its Facebook page recently being named the Winner of Social Media Examiner, Top 10 Small Business Facebook Pages.
In December 2011 Intrepid Travel announced its partnership with bloggers, Planet D who Huffington Post has listed as one of the Top Travel Blogs to Discover.
“Our passengers are avid travellers. They eat, drink, breath travel! If they’re not travelling they are searching for inspiration for their next trip. Bloggers are a source of both information and inspiration for them so connecting with this online community is hugely important to us. We’re looking forward to Travel Bloggers Unite and to hearing more about the travel blogging community,” said Robyn Nixon, General Manager of Global Marketing at Intrepid Travel

Ten Best Ideas For Photos On Canvas
If you’re looking for fresh personalized gift ideas, you’ll be amazed with the developments happening in canvas prints. Photographs on canvas are rapidly turning into an artistic creation form, and professional and nonprofessional photographers are capable to turn digital images into full sized, framed, canvas prints that make great presents for nearly any occasion.
The most eye-catching idea for placing photos on canvas will surely be wedding pictures. Images on canvas offer a full sized, well formulated, and displayable picture of weddings that will last a lifespan. Almost all places that offer photos to canvas offer a thirty or forty year warranty in case the images fade. Additionally you can use your scanned photographs to put them on canvas.
In my opinion 2nd idea that works great is births. A new baby is a pleasure for all, and the best way to memorialize this is to put photos of the baby on canvas. You can also put old baby scanned images on canvas.
The third idea is to put a photo of a loved one on canvas. Memorialize them on canvas using an old or recent photo. The choice is yours.
Photos on canvas can emphatically be the best Christmas presents, where you can use any image and that will work.
You can also put landscape images on canvas or you can use any other image you have taken for a more personal touch.
You can also put wildlife photos on canvas People love their animals, and love pictures of them to decorate their house. If one uses a highest quality digital scanner, then memories of that special animal can be preserved forever.
Another unusual thought is, if a person plays sports and gets a group photo of the team then putting that photo on canvas is definitely the best idea. This is a wonderful present for the sports fan.
The 9th idea is to take a high quality picture of artwork that the person actually likes, and use that photo onto canvas. You can use picture of any artist, scientist or a great poet to make these photos to canvas. It depends on what the person wants & likes.
The tenth and last idea is to take photos of old maps, or any other documents, and put those photos on canvas. It will definitely add a touch of uniqueness to your home.

Medjet Medical Evacuation Membership Program | MedjetAssist
www.medjetassist.com Introduction to Medjet, a world leader in medical evacuation membership programs. If a Medjet member is hospitalized more than 150 miles from home, Medjet will arrange medical transport in an air ambulance back to the hospital of their choice at no additional charge. Out-of-pocket costs for domestic medical rescue can average $10000 to $20000 and international medical rescue can exceed $100000 Medjet members only pay for the membership fee for complete travel protection.
[simfany]208518[/simfany]
What is MedjetAssist??
Global Travel Assistance.
MedjetAssist is a medical evacuation membership program that arranges medical transfer to the hospital of the member’s choice. If a Medjet member becomes hospitalized more than 150 miles from home and meets transport criteria, Medjet will arrange medical transfer to the hospital of their choice at no additional cost. All the member pays is their membership fee.
Do You Think You Are Fully Protected?
While your travel insurance and platinum card programs have important benefits, there may be medical evacuation restrictions that could leave you wishing you had additional protection. Medjet closes this gap:
Comparing Membership Services
MedjetAssist is a membership program, not a health insurance plan or travel insurance plan. As a membership program, it offers more and better services…and better value. Unlike the competition, MedjetAssist arranges medical evacuation and repatriation services for its members, both worldwide and domestically. Our members choose if they want to continue their hospital care at their home hospital, or any other hospital of their choice, through our network of authorized affiliates. And there are no additional costs to worry about and no limits on total medical evacuation expenses.
No Medical Necessity
MedjetAssist members are transferred without regard to medical necessity. This means members, as long as they are hospitalized as an inpatient, can choose to be transferred to another hospital, even if the facility they are in is considered adequate. The choice is theirs. It’s that simple!
In contrast, health and travel insurance plans and platinum card benefits require that a transfer be medically required. In other words, as long as the care at a hospital is deemed adequate, transferring to another hospital is not an option.
Home Hospital
MedjetAssist arranges medical evacuation and repatriation services to the member’s home hospital or hospital of their choice. The competition generally restricts transports to the nearest hospital that provides “appropriate care.” This means individuals are taken to a hospital the shortest distance away that has adequate care, but not necessarily the best care.
MedjetAssist members, if hospitalized, do not have to worry about being transferred to a nearby hospital in a foreign country that has only adequate medical care. Members choose if they want to fly home to their local hospital or hospital of their choice to receive the very best care and to be near their family.
No Cost Limits
MedjetAssist has no limit on the cost of a medical transfer. Many companies and insurance plans place caps, some as low as $25,000, on the total amount available for an air-ambulance. But a medical transfer between Europe and America can run more than $70,000. Middle East and South American flights range from $60,000 to $100,000. Transfer from Asia often exceeds $130,000.
Domestic Transfers
Only MedjetAssist arranges medical evacuation services within the United States as well as abroad. Travel insurance plans and platinum card benefits only cover travel in other countries. If a MedjetAssist member becomes ill or injured and is hospitalized while traveling 150 miles or more from their primary residence as listed on their membership in the U.S. or abroad, MedjetAssist will arrange transfer to the member’s home hospital, or the hospital of their choice. If a MedjetAssist Elite or Plus member is hospitalized in their hometown hospital and requires the services that only a specialty hospital (center of excellence) can provide, MedjetAssist will arrange medical transfer for that member to the specialty hospital, provided it is more than 150 miles from the member’s home hospital.
Benefits of Medjet Membership
Worldwide Evacuation and Repatriation
When a member becomes hospitalized as an inpatient due to an illness or injury while traveling 150 miles or more from home, either within or outside the contiguous United States, MedjetAssist will arrange medical evacuation and repatriation services to the hospital of the member’s choice by a MedjetAssist authorized affiliate.
Medical Referrals
MedjetAssist representatives will provide contact information for doctors and hospitals in the area in which the member is traveling. Telephone interpretation can also be provided when necessary. The selection and payment of the medical provider remain the member’s responsibility.
Medical Monitoring/Consultation
As soon as MedjetAssist is notified of a member’s medical situation, the medical staff will establish communication with both the family and the local attending medical provider, obtain a full understanding of the situation and begin to monitor the member’s condition. Medical professionals will stay in communication with the local medical personnel and relay necessary information to the member and his or her family or employer until the situation is resolved, and the member is either able to resume travel or a medical transfer is initiated.
Telephone Interpretation
Members can receive assistance with foreign-language interpretation over the telephone when they are having difficulty communicating with local medical specialists by calling our toll-free number (800-963-3538 or call 205-595-6626 in the U.S., Canada or the Caribbean) or calling collect from anywhere in the world.
Emergency Message Relay
Members may send and receive emergency messages to and from relatives, friends and business associates toll free, 24 hours a day, through the MedjetAssist staff.
Legal Referrals
MedjetAssist provides contact information for certified attorneys in the areas in which these members are traveling. Telephone interpretation can be provided when necessary. The selection and payment of the attorneys are the responsibility of the members.
Visa, Passport and Immunization Requirements
MedjetAssist will provide information regarding visa, passport and immunization requirements for foreign countries to which members will be traveling. For an additional cost, members may also receive services such as expedition or replacement of lost or stolen visas and passports.
Travel, Health and Safety Precautions
In addition to providing travel, health and safety precautions for international destinations, members may also receive comprehensive pre-travel medical consultations.
Transfer of Mortal Remains
In the unfortunate event of a member’s death while traveling 150 miles or more from home, MedjetAssist will arrange and pay for all necessary government authorization, provide a container appropriate for transportation and return the remains to the member’s place of residence for burial.
Contacting Medjet
Call Collect From Anywhere
To discuss a problem or course of action, members can call our medical department collect or use our toll-free number (800-963-3538 or call 205-595-6626 in the U.S., Canada or the Caribbean)

New Year New You - Fitness
New Year New You Fitness – Article
Yes, its THAT time of year again!! New Years resolutions to get healthy, lose weight, fitness training and the list goes on….
So here are some practical Tips and FAQ’s for increasing your fitness level this year! Easy ways to keep it up! Products to help!
So, as I mentioned It’s a common New Year’s resolution — get in shape, loss weight and look better in a bathing suit. Unfortunately these things are easier said than done. A week into the new year most people have forgotten their promise. However, utilizing some of the following tips may make 2010 the year you keep your resolutions.
• Get Happy
Stress is a major factor when it comes to your health. Incorporate regular exercise and a healthy diet to help reduce your stress levels. Be honest about what you are capable of doing and set a series of small goals leading up to your end goal. Each small success will bring you one step closer to your target and create a happier you. Fitness happens over time!
• Start Slowly
If you are going to make a successful change it has to be designed for the long run. Don’t rush into a new exercise regimen only to burn yourself out. Take your time, build up your endurance and be careful not to injure yourself.
• Get in the Water
Water sports are an excellent choice to get you started on your fitness goals. Even if you don’t know how to swim, you can still get a good workout in shallow water. Put on a swimsuit and run in place while swinging your arms back and forth. Do this in water about chest deep for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Dress Trendy
Many people feel more motivated to go to the gym/pool if they have swimwearor workout clothes that make them feel good. It’s important to feel comfortable when you’re starting out with something new. So, go to your local sporting goods store and pick out swimsuits, tennis shoes and running attire that are not only comfortable, but fun to wear. Pick out something in your favorite color or a trendy design.
And, don’t worry about being self-conscious. If you need plus-size swimwear or exercise attire, there are plenty of options out there that will cater to your needs.
• Eat and Drink Healthy
Work on only putting healthy things into your body. If you’re a soda drinker, try switching to water. If you’re craving sweets, try eating an orange or a banana instead. These small steps will help you reach your goal.
Also, learn to read food labels at the grocery store. If something has more than two or three ingredients you have trouble pronouncing, put it back on the shelf.
Most importantly, don’t deprive yourself. If you want a piece of chocolate, have it. Just do it in moderation.
It’s important to have fitness goals. It’s even more important to have the proper tools to reach those goals. Utilizing these strategies can help you do just that.

Too busy to work out on a daily basis? Turn to the TrekDesk treadmill desk, which encourages you to walk slowly on a treadmill while you talk to clients, type up proposals, or catch up on your email. Designed to attach to most existing treadmills, the TrekDesk was originally built for offices, with a variety of features meant to keep employees productive and fit throughout the day. The desktop offers a generous workspace that measures 72 inches long by 34 inches wide, and includes such desktop accessories as a manuscript holder that keeps books and magazines upright; a file folder with three levels; accessory slots to keep accessories on the desktop; a top stand that holds your telephone, headset, or cell phone; and two cup/utility holders. The desk’s center cutout, meanwhile, keeps all treadmill controls and accessories within easy reach, while also positioning your body close enough to type on a laptop or use a mouse. And despite the TrekDesk’s foldable design, it’s extremely sturdy when attached, with two height-adjustable support legs (fixed 49 inches apart) providing a solid, robust steel base, and a premium powder-coated steel frame that’s built to last a lifetime. The frame is topped off by a resilient, steel-reinforced, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) desktop.
The TrekDesk offers a number of benefits to both work and home users. Not only does it encourage weight loss, disease prevention, and overall physical health, but it also improves your mood and increases your productivity. Studies show that a TrekDesk can increase blood flow to the brain, helping improve your memory by as much as 15 percent in a six-month period. At the same time, walking on a treadmill promotes healthy restorative sleep patterns, which in turn decreases your stress levels and keeps you happier. In short, the TrekDesk can help encourage a total overhaul of your mental and physical well-being.
Other features include beveled edges for comfort and appearance; a height-adjustment console that adjusts to the perfect ergonomic position for typing (the desktop suits employees between 5 feet 4 inches and 6 feet 4 inches tall); robust metal support arms for added strength and durability; and a durable scuff-resistant work surface. The TrekDesk–which sets up easily within 30 to 45 minutes–supports up to 55 pounds of equipment and weighs 57 pounds by itself. It also carries a two-year warranty.
TrekDesk Features and Specifications:
- Desk Size: 74 inches by 34 inches
- Height Adjustable: 46.5 to 56.5 inches
- Weight: 58 pounds
- Treadmill Compatibility: Works with most treadmills
- Manufacturer’s Warranty: Two years
- Powder coated steel frame and steel reinforced HDPE desktop
- Folds for easy storage
- Manuscript stand
- Two cup holders
- Four-level file tray
About TrekDesk
Designed by a team of engineers, manufacturing, and sales professionals, the TrekDesk is intended to make people more productive and healthier at the same time. TrekDesk is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with a design team based in Bedford, Virginia.
Four things that aid your Fitness Goals
To many people, the New Year symbolizes a chance to start over and make new commitments to their health and wellness. It is a time of resolutions and strict dietary plans, when new memberships to fitness facilities are at an annual peak, and vows are renewed to abstain from eating fattening, processed and sugary foods. Regardless of all these intentions, many of these strict guidelines people create for themselves can be a challenge to follow on a long term basis. Here are 4 manageable tips to keep you in good health all year:
Drink Water
Since the average adults loses 10 cups of water every day through urine, breathing, sweating, and bowel movements, drinking water every day – especially first thing in the morning – helps prevent dehydration. Water is essential for good health, so replace what you are losing by drinking purified water throughout the day. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice to your daily cup of water can add benefits by helping to cleanse your system.
Reduce Refined Sugar
Besides causing your metabolism and insulin levels to fluctuate wildly, sugar depresses your immune system and promotes inflammation in the body. In addition, reducing sugar intake from foods and drinks such as white bread, sweets and soft drinks may actually increase your energy.
Get More Sleep
Try to get 8 hours of sleep every night. If you have trouble falling asleep, consider traditional herbs such as passionflower, hops and valerian. You may also want to consider supplementing with 5HTP, a precursor to serotonin production, which will improve your sleep patterns. Chronic sleep deprivation is detrimental to your health and has been linked to heart disease, diabetes and cancer, among other degenerative conditions.
Reduce Stress
Consider alternative therapies such as massage, homeopathy and acupuncture for stress relief, the treatment of chronic health issues or as preventative medicine. Many find significant relief by complementing their current regime with time-tested, traditional therapies. These modalities are holistic in nature, meaning they have the potential to address all aspects of your being – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Renewing your commitments to health and vibrancy does not mean you have to engaging in extreme adjustments. Making simpler choices that fit your lifestyle while also addressing your health needs will allow you to set the stage for achieving the resolutions and goals that inspire you this year, and for years to come.

VonZipper Kickstand Sunglasses – Meloptics – Polarized
Price $219.95
Whether or not you actually ride a motorcycle, the Von Zipper Kickstand Sunglasses cut down on glare to prevent you from crashing into things. Which isn’t really that big of a deal when you’re walking around (other than being embarrassing), but becomes more of an issue when you’re out on a bike.
Price $100.00 – $110.00
Oakley’s mad scientists were charged with bringing back classic style without corrupting modern edginess they took a new approach and created the Jupiter Sunglasses. After melting down healthy doses of electric guitar, comic book villain, and rogue stunt car driver, they forged the lightweight O-Matter frame and polished it off with UV-blocking Plutonite lenses. Despite a few face-melt casualties, the lab crew managed to refine Jupiter’s design with high-definition optics, so the wearer can enjoy a crystal clear view of the unbridled envy in the eyes of bystanders.

Up to 50% Off The North Face + Free 2-Day Shipping on all orders over $50 at Backcountry.com – While Supplies Last
GOGGLES:
Oakley Airbrake Goggles Price $220.00
The sun may have blinded your park landings in the past, but with the easily swappable lens of the Oakley Airbrake Goggles, you’ll be able to stomp it all in any light. The glove-friendly, pivoting Switchlock Technology pops the lens out of the frame and lets you replace it with an included spare that better matches the mountain’s conditions. Once you clamp down the built-in switch, you’ll get that same undistorted, UV-blocking, and glare-busting Oakley vision for every bump, cat track, and landing that crosses your snowy war path.
Tough Plutonite lenses block out 100% of UVA, UVB, UVC, and harmful blue rays
Rigid outer frame and flexible inner frame yield a durable but form-fitting design that doesn’t cramp your nasal cavity
Three-layer fleece foam liner is soft and smooth on your face and dries quickly after you rag-doll for a hundred yards and sweat while retrieving your gear
Dual top lens vents and F3 Fog Technology prevents interior condensation during hikes and after falls
Interchangeable strap outriggers let you fine-tune the fit to your helmet or helmet-free riding
Comes with two differently shaded lenses (and a soft case) that match high and low-light conditions, but Oakley offers many more lens options (sold separately)
Smith I/O Interchangeable Optics Spherical Series Goggles Price $164.95
Smith’s sleek, rimless design matches up nicely with the ease of their interchangeable technology when you wear the I/O Interchangeable Optics Spherical Series Goggles. Oversized spherical lenses curve like the natural shape of your eye to provide optimal visual clarity when you ride. The quick release lens system makes it easy to change out lenses depending on the weather and which lens works best in certain conditions. Smith uses their Vaporator lens technology on the I/O to keep fog off your lenses for crystal clear sight on the mountain.
Eco-friendly Evolve series utilizes 53% bio-based Rislan frame material, FSC certified packaging, a coconut fiber bag, and a water-based lens coating
Electric EG2.5 Goggles Price $139.95 – $179.95
See and stick the landing once you block the burning white light of the snow with the Electric EG2.5 Goggles, which fits smaller faces but still includes all the features of the famous EG2. The oversized dual spherical lens allows an incredible field of vision despite the smaller size of the ergonomic frame, while the triple-layer face foam smoothly hugs your face.
The 100% UV-blocking polycarbonate lens includes coatings to prevent fogging, scratching, and blinding glare
Spherical lens shape matches your eyeballs to reduce distortion while riding
Dual lens means that a layer of dead air helps prevent condensation and fogging of the inner lens, while top vents expel body vapors before fogging occurs
Mold-injected thermo-plastic urethane frame flexes to your face shape and doesn’t snap after righteous face-plants
A 40mm elastic strap adjusts to your head, hat, or helmet
Includes a microfiber goggle bag for safe and scratch-free storage
VonZipper Feenom Goggles w/ Bonus Lens Price $119.95 – $149.95
These Von Zipper Feenom Goggles keeps you riding in any conditions, from low light pow days and night park sessions to bluebird spring days. Front venting keeps your vision fog-free and an articulating hinge means these goggles will fit right, with or without a helmet.
100% UV protection
Dragon Rogue Goggles Price $99.95 – $159.95
When Danny Davis and TJ Schiller spot their landings after three or four rotations over a huge table top, the Dragon Rogue Goggles ensures they see it and stick it. The optically correct lens gives your eyes the ability to see downhill so you can know what’s ahead when you’re spotting a landing in the park or mapping out a series of turns through a rock-studded chute.
Super anti-fog lens for all-day clarity
Helmet compatible
Triple layer face foam for added comfort
Durable polyurethane frame
Adjustable hinges adapt to varying face shapes
Optically correct lens eliminates distortion
Micro-fleece lining for comfort
