Just because someone switches sponsors/leaves a company doesn't mean they got dropped... What if he wanted to change? What if he didn't like smith? What if Giro offered him more money?

to be fair it seems to have worked, look how many people have just realised giro makes goggles in this thread alone, its bringing there products into the public eye more.

a good source tells me this is exactly what happened. good for him.
in pro skiing you need to go where the money is because there is no job security in this shit. One crash and you could be done so make that paper while you can.

that's probably why they offered peter so much money to wear their glasses! Perer is well known everywhere so if people see he is wearing giro glasses they'll go to a ski shop and buy some because they want to ''copy'' his style.

I had an epiphany:
Since Smith started making helmets and he was sponsored by Giro and Smith he had to chose. Giro offered more money than Smith, so he went with Giro. It makes sense.

Giro goggles are pieces of shit in my mind. go take a look at them on their website.

I went to the giro site and found headphones? I am lost I cant find giro goggles. Why cant companies stay with what works instead of trying to get into ever market out there.
