Ski and boarding gear may be second only to scuba diving when it comes to the volume of reliable swag you need have in order to make your foray into the outdoor world memorable for all the right reasons. And as with underwater pursuits, if you can't see what you're doing in an alpine realm, you're giving the elements a huge advantage.

So, to keep things in focus on the slopes, turn to the Rogue goggles from Dragon ($125 and up). An optically correct dual polycarb lens with anti-fog treatment offers Visine-clear vision and UV protection, a polyurethane frame and Polartec microfleece lining assures supreme comfort, and straps with subtle hinge joints allow for easy wear, whether you go with a hat or a helmet. Even better, the Rogues come in all varieties of colors and lens tints, allowing you to customize your eyewear with the rest of your kit—and each pair boasts tres-hip silver dragon graphics on the strap. Think of it as the right touch of powder-perfect bling.
