Description
Panda ski goggles are the crossover model in our range. The front carries a serious red-to-amber interference mirror on matte black, while the strap carries a panda in a varsity jacket, so the DAQRI HX16 speaks to the snowboard and streetwear crowd without giving up a single degree of performance.
Panda ski goggles: technical on the front, streetwear on the back
Moreover, the panda strap is a full-colour print on black elastic, showing a panda in a varsity jacket with paw prints along the length. From the front it is a serious goggle, and from behind it reads like a streetwear drop.
That combination is deliberate. Buyers in the park segment reject gear that looks like rental stock, yet they still want the lens to perform. In fact, this gives them both without adding a second SKU to the shelf.
Particularly, the black band is a practical choice as well. The graphic only appears when the goggle is worn or viewed from behind, which keeps the front profile clean on a technical colorway.
Who buys this panda ski goggle colorway
Snowboard shops serve a customer who does not identify with race aesthetic, and this is the goggle that crosses into that customer’s basket without looking like a compromise.
Streetwear-adjacent snow retail has the same logic, because the buyer already owns a black jacket and wants the one accessory that matches it.
- Snowboard and park shops whose customer rejects race styling.
- Streetwear-adjacent snow retail and concept stores.
- Young men’s gifting, the hardest segment to sell a graphic to.
- Online sellers with a snowboard audience searching by design.
Lens, frame and strap construction behind the panda ski goggles
Specifically, the lens is a red-to-amber interference mirror with thirteen coating layers on a decentered polycarbonate body. Equally important, the warm tint cuts the blue cast of flat light and separates ridges and tracks from the snow, which is why red mirrors dominate freeride setups.
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 sheds snow and spray.
Meanwhile, the goggle pairs a PC hard frame that captures the lens with a TPU soft frame bonded over it to form the seal, so the lens cannot fold on impact and the seal holds when the strap is tightened.
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 at the strap clips where surface-printed bands fail.
In detail, frame vents move air across the inner lens, and the 360-degree triple-layer microfiber foam blocks wind and vents moisture.
Fit, prescription glasses and helmets
Specifically, universal adult sizing runs at 18 centimetres by 10.3 centimetres. Accordingly, the goggle fits under standard ski and snowboard 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.

Wholesale and private label value
Moreover, the printed strap costs almost nothing extra and it moves the sell-through rate in the age group that matters most for this design. It also gives a buyer a reason to reorder with a different strap rather than a different supplier.
In particular, custom strap artwork is available on the same band, and all HX16 straps interchange on the same frame. Generally, private label covers lens logo and retail packaging as well.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Is the panda artwork on these panda ski goggles licensed or original?
Indeed, it is original DAQRI artwork, royalty-free with the product. There is no licence fee and no takedown exposure for your store to manage.
Does the graphic make it less suitable for serious riding?
No. Furthermore, the lens and frame are identical to the plain red colorway in the range, and only the strap differs. Your technical customers lose nothing.
Can the strap be swapped onto another HX16?
Yes. All HX16 straps interchange on the same frame, which is exactly how customers build a second look and how a buyer tests a second design before committing to a full order.
