"They'll start around 230 Euros but then you get an extra lens so you're basically paying the same as the other brands for the start-up version"



sorry jon, but i sure wouldnt. the goggles start at 230 euros, which is just over 300 us dollars. i dont even want to know how much the "high end" goggles costs. im pretty sure i could buy crowbars, and 6 of their most expensive lenses for around 300...again, im sorry, but you had the hate coming to you.

Quite seriously false.

You don't need a degree, but it sure as shit helps.

Not in the ski industry. 

If your friend is a pro you have a better chance than someone with a degree!  It's all about WHO you know.  In the real world a degree does help though I suppose.

I'm not saying it's the be all and end all, but I am saying it helps. I was saying that my qualification would hopefully entitle me to have a valid opinion on Jon's business, which I think it does don't you?

I think in everything, including the 'real world', knowing someone is really important. If you are charismatic enough you might be able to get to know people.

Is Jon making these goggles himself then?

jon is a smart business man who has some marketing knowladge and knows what will make money.(for him)
and , as said so many times, his focus isn't lil 14 year old kids, its rich ass snobs from europe who want something expensive to match their expensive cross outerwear while they drive around in lambos

They're still a prototype. Jon doesn't wear them racing in case they shatter, because the lenses are not yet properly designed.

He doesn't think he will fall on jumps obviously!
