On a cold, blustery Vermont day late last month, I slipped a pair of Dragon Alliance’s new DXS-i ski goggles over my helmet and headed toward the lift for my first run. The goggles, with “Super Anti-Fog technology” are supposedly impervious to fog. Well, we’d see about that.

Gear Guide: A Terrific Pair of Winter Boots
