Frame and Straps

The frame on the RVX MAG OTG is the standard (and classic) polyurethane offering seen on most Dragon goggles in recent years. It’s light, can withstand extreme cold, and you’d have a better chance of breaking into Fort Knox than breaking this. New for this year, obviously, are the magnetic anchors that snap the lens in place. As an extra precaution, the Swiftlock lever system has been retained on one side, making these fully ragdoll-proof.

The RVX MAG OTG also features Dragon’s signature ‘armoured’ vents along the top of the frame. The chunky plastic sieve-like structure has stayed the course even as other brands opt for more discreet (but often less effective) designs. Much like Lumalens, this system has proven its worth over time.

One thing we’ve always loved about Dragon goggles is the range of signature straps designed for the stacked pro team. Only skier Jossi Wells gets the honour for the RXV MAG OTG, but he’s actually pretty rad on a board so it’s all good…

Roundup

For our money, Dragon has always been a safe pair of hands. From year to year the models and tech barely fluctuate, which is a sign of a solid foundation that was already ahead of its time when it first appeared.

Still, it’s great to see this (possibly overdue) embrace of new ideas, especially as it’s been done so well. If you’ve felt let down by the mag-hype, the Dragon RVX MAG OTG is your excuse to give it another go.

Pros:

• Goggles don’t get much more dependable than this – even when there’s new tech on display
• No fewer than fifteen lens tints from which to choose

Cons:

• These sit a little further from your face than some competitors
• Dragon’s photochromic lenses (the ones that adjust the tint automatically to match the conditions) haven’t ported over to this model just yet
