In park and pipe, snowboarder Kazuhiro Kokubo wows the crowd with fluid moves that would earn the envy of a martial arts master. A rider since the age of four, he performed the halfpipe exhibition run at the Japan Open when he was ten, and placed 2nd at the U.S. Open when he was only fourteen.
When it came time to honor this champion of the 2007 Asian Winter Games and the 2005 FIS World Cup (CAN and SUI), Oakley let Kazu put his own personal touch on one of the finest goggles ever engineered. His favorite plaid scarf has brought him luck, so he chose pink and green plaid for the goggle strap, repeating the colors on the chassis with a subtle fade. We think the soft tones are a subversive twist, considering the way Kazu can detonate a move with explosive power.
To help Kazu focus all that energy without distraction, Oakley CROWBAR® SNOW offers the comfort of moisture-wicking face foam in a triple layer. It also provides a true anatomical fit that balances pressure points, thanks to an ingenious strap connector design. The goggle takes advantage of durable and lightweight O MATTER®, making it feel like part of you — instead of hanging off your face with the front-grill feel of ordinary goggles.
For the ultimate in performance, CROWBAR® SNOW is engineered with HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) and anti-fog treatment. The wide view lets Kazu see with clarity at every angle, and the contours maximize his peripheral vision. As far as protection goes, CROWBAR® SNOW filters out all UV while meeting all ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact resistance, so Kazu can feel free to cut loose any time the mountain moves him.
The Oakley Kazu CROWBAR® SNOW comes with a MICROCLEAR™ bag for storage and lens cleaning. Optional lenses include Pink IRIDIUM® and VR50™ Emerald, both of which enhance visual contrast to improve depth perception in a range of light, from overcast to medium-bright skies.
