SunGod Promotes Vanguards Goggles
With the Winter season approaching, SunGod is promoting the latest addition to its winter range: SunGod Vanguards. The custom ski and snowboard goggles come five years since the launch of the brand’s first goggles, SunGod Revolts, and will make for the perfect Christmas gift for adrenaline-seekers or performance-led skiers and snowboarders.
Five years since launching, SunGod has offices in London and Verbier, Switzerland. The brand has rejected the traditional retail model and only sells direct to consumer, allowing it to offer quality performance products at a fairer price for the customer. The brand ships worldwide within 7 days, and offer next-day shipping for UK orders.
To date, SunGod has shipped to 95 countries globally, and the company is on track to turn over £3mil in revenue this year.
Vanguards feature a new “over-sized” cylindrical lens boasting an uninterrupted, near-180-degree field of view. The athlete-led ergonomic shape is engineered to give users full awareness of their surroundings for maximum performance; in all disciplines from freestyle to freeride.
As with all SunGod products, durability continues to lie at the heart of the design. Each frame is moulded from a unique memory polymer which when impacted/flexed, returns to its original shape. SunGod Vanguards are covered by the brand’s unique Lifetime Guarantee and if broken, they can be returned for repair from anywhere in the world
Vanguards can only be bought directly from SunGod, using the brand’s online designer or in the brand’s new experiential concept store “SunGod Basecamp” which opened in Verbier in December 2018. Customers can choose from three frame colours, six different lens options and ten new strap designs exclusive to the Vanguards. Each lens features SunGod’s signature 4KO snow lens technology, developed and optimised to perform in a variety of conditions on the mountains. Additional frames, lenses and straps will be available to purchase separately.
SunGod has worked to build a global community of high profile snowsports ambassadors. Athletes include X-Games gold medallist and BBC presenter James “Woodsy” Woods, and Rowan Cheshire, both of whom competed at the Winter Olympics in Pyongchang.
SunGod is the first British eyewear brand to sponsor winter athletes to this level of international success, and the brand is continuing as the official eyewear partner of the Freeride World Tour, a worldwide freeride skiing and snowboarding competition widely considered to showcase the pinnacle of the sport.
Vanguards are available to purchase at sungod.co/vanguards or in-store in Verbier
