Description
Graffiti ski goggles split into two personalities on purpose. The front is a cold chrome mirror on matte black, and the strap carries black-and-white temple graffiti, so the DAQRI HX16 looks like a flagship product from the front and a streetwear drop from behind.
Graffiti ski goggles: the one that does not look like ski gear
Monochrome graffiti, showing temple stonework, tags and abstract line work in black on white, sits on a black elastic band under a full chrome mirror.
From the front it is the cleanest and coldest goggle in the range. From behind it reads like a streetwear release, and that split is the commercial point.
Moreover, this is the colorway that sells in urban snow shops, concept stores and streetwear-adjacent retail, where a mountain landscape or a cartoon animal would feel out of place. It is the goggle that fits a city jacket rather than a race suit.
Who buys this graffiti ski goggle colorway
Urban snow and concept retail has a design-led fixture, and this is the product that sits correctly in it without looking like standard equipment.
Adult gifting is the other angle, because the buyer already owns a black jacket and wants the single accessory that matches it.
- Urban snow retailers and concept stores with a design-led fixture.
- Streetwear-adjacent sellers adding snow to an existing apparel range.
- Adult gifting for a customer who owns one black jacket.
- Photography-led online sellers, since monochrome graphics shoot cleanly.
Lens, frame and strap construction behind the graffiti ski goggles
In fact, the lens is a chrome silver interference mirror with thirteen coating layers on a decentered polycarbonate body. It is cold and neutral with no colour shift, so the mirror reflects the environment instead of tinting it.
Specifically, the inner surface absorbs moisture rather than letting it condense, holding clear roughly twice as long as a single-layer lens, and the outer nano hydrophobic coat makes snow and spray bead and lift rather than smear.
Meanwhile, the goggle pairs a PC hard frame that captures the lens with a TPU soft frame bonded over it to form the seal. On a chrome lens the edge stress is highly visible, and the rigid hard frame is what keeps the coating clean around the perimeter.
Furthermore, the strap runs on elastic with a silicone anti-slip backing, adjustable and printed in full colour. Monochrome was chosen deliberately, because it matches every jacket, photographs without a colour cast and stays current across seasons.
Frame vents move air across the inner lens, and the 360-degree triple-layer microfiber foam blocks wind while venting moisture.
Fit, prescription glasses and helmets
Specifically, universal adult sizing runs at 18 centimetres by 10.3 centimetres. Particularly, the goggle fits under standard helmets, and the adjustable silicone-backed strap grips a smooth shell.
Meanwhile, over-glasses use runs to 14 centimetres of total prescription frame width, and the scored side foam trims for wider frames.

Frequently asked questions
Is the graffiti artwork on these graffiti ski goggles original?
Yes, it is in-house artwork supplied royalty-free with the product. There is no licence fee and nothing to police in your own store.
Does a chrome lens scratch more easily?
The mirror sits beneath a hydrophobic top coat, so ordinary handling will not remove it. Abrasion from a pocket or a ski edge will, exactly as with any coated lens, which is why the microfibre pouch ships in the box.
Can we print this strap in a single colour to reduce cost?
Yes, and monochrome artwork is already the lowest-cost method we run. Ask for pricing on a one-colour version and we will quote it alongside the full-colour option.
