Description
Ice blue ski goggles carry a moonlit pine treeline printed the length of the strap. They suit a customer who tours, skins and rides trees rather than lifts. Moreover, the DAQRI HX16 pairs a cyan ice-blue mirror with the quiet graphic. That is the register backcountry riders actually respond to.
Ice blue ski goggles: for the customer who is not on the piste
Most goggle graphics are loud. In fact, this one is quiet, showing layered pine silhouettes in deep blue and black under a star field, printed on a black band behind a cyan mirror.
The restraint is the commercial point, because it reads as terrain rather than as merchandise. It sits calmly beside a shell, a pack or a helmet instead of competing.
Ice blue is also a genuinely useful all-mountain tint. Particularly, it is cool enough to cut glare off a sunlit snowfield, yet it never closes down on a flat afternoon.
Who buys this ice blue ski goggle colorway
Backcountry and touring shops serve customers who leave the resort boundary, and those customers buy gear that looks like it belongs on a mountain rather than on a piste.
Pacific Northwest, Japanese and Nordic retailers also benefit, because wet, forested and overcast terrain is the natural home for this colourway.
- Backcountry, touring and splitboard shops serving customers off the resort boundary.
- Pacific Northwest, Japanese and Nordic retailers in wet and overcast terrain.
- Outdoor-lifestyle crossover retail, where a landscape graphic outsells a cartoon.
- Photography-led sellers, since the treeline strap gives the best flat lay in the series.
Lens, frame and strap construction behind the ice blue ski goggles
The lens is a cyan ice-blue interference mirror with thirteen coating layers on a decentered polycarbonate body, so the snow plane stays flat to the frame edge and terrain at the periphery reads where the rider expects it.
Specifically, the inner surface absorbs moisture rather than letting it condense, which matters on a skin track where exertion and cold air meet. The outer nano hydrophobic coat sheds wet snow instead of letting it smear.
Meanwhile, the goggle pairs a PC hard frame that captures the lens with a TPU soft frame bonded over it to form the face seal. Frame vents move air across the inner lens, and the 360-degree triple-layer microfiber foam blocks wind while venting moisture.
Furthermore, the strap runs on elastic with a silicone anti-slip backing, adjustable and printed in full colour. The graphic is dyed into the weave so it survives the fold points, and the tonal palette was chosen so the band never fights the cool lens tint.
Fit, prescription glasses and helmets
Specifically, universal adult sizing runs at 18 centimetres by 10.3 centimetres. The goggle fits under standard ski and snowboard helmets, and the adjustable silicone-backed strap stays in position on 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.

Wholesale and private label value
Moreover, a tonal graphic like this is an easy private-label template. Buyers replace the treeline with their own mountain, trail map or logo, which is how resort retailers turn a stock goggle into a souvenir.
Moreover, the printed strap costs almost nothing extra at the factory, and it lifts sell-through in the adult bracket where a loud cartoon would not work.
Meanwhile, duty-paid door delivery reaches the European Union, the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea, and goggles consolidate with eyewear stock on one container and one invoice.
- MOQ 1 piece, mixed across all 16 HX16 colorways and strap designs.
- Custom strap artwork, MOQ quoted by print method.
- Royalty-free original artwork with no licence fee.
- DDP duty-paid delivery to the EU, US, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea.
- Consolidation with eyewear stock on one shipment and one invoice.
Frequently asked questions
How does the ice blue ski goggles lens differ from the standard blue mirror?
Yes. Ice blue is lighter and cooler, tuned for mixed light, while the standard blue colorway is deeper and better in full sun. Buyers who cover both conditions often stock one of each.
Will this design sell to adults?
It is our strongest adult-skewing graphic strap, because tonal landscape designs outsell character designs above the age of twenty-five and they do not date.
Can the strap carry a trail map or a resort logo?
Yes, and that is one of the most common private-label requests we take from resort retail. Send the artwork and we will quote the minimum and the lead time.
