[Amsterdam, Netherlands] Jan. 15, 2026 – VALLON, the sports eyewear company known for classic style, maximum performance eyewear, introduces Crossroads™ – unisex goggles designed for alpine performance, fusing design notes from classic mountaineering aesthetics with advanced optical and material technology.

Drawing inspiration from traditional climbing rope for their headstrap, they integrate next-generation lenses and high-tensile frame composites to deliver uncompromising clarity, durability, and style for modern backcountry, high-alpine, and powder pursuits.

Commenting on the new launch, Richard and Marcus, cofounders of VALLON said, “When creating the Crossroads™, we strived to design goggles that fuse classic alpine heritage with maximum performance that can withstand extreme environments and challenges. Built for those who carve their own line, this is technical sports eyewear with a whole lotta soul.”

Lens Deep-Dive

Design x Technology

For the Crossroads™, VALLON worked in partnerships with leading optics manufacturer, Carl ZEISS, to design a new dual-layered Toric lens – the perfect crossover between a Spherical and Cylindrical lens. Toric lenses sit at the nexus of these two optic shapes, merging the peripheral vision of spherical lenses with the distortion control of cylindrical lenses.

Versatility in varied weather conditions is guaranteed by our new PolarLock™  system, designed for simple and fast lens changes, and excellent lens security. A magnet-based quick release system provides optimal eye protection and assurance that your lenses will stay firmly in place.

Crossroads™ have dual-layered lens technology composed of ZEISS outer lens made of 1.6mm shatterproof polycarbonate, and an inner anti-fog lens from leading lens manufacturer, Mazuchelli.

Lens Category x Conditions

Available in four colorways: White-Silver, Sand-Copper, White-Green and Black-Orange, Crossroads™ are delivered with two lenses as standard, that are quickly interchanged to cover your eyes in a range of weather and light conditions:

Lens Tint x Contrast

While photochromic lenses are useful for adjusting the darkness of your vision, they can’t adjust lens tint. Lens tint is an important design consideration for sports eyewear, particularly for snowsports where blue light attenuation and contrast are critical for clear vision and quick decision-making.

The majority of VALLON goggle lenses have a brown-tint lens. Brown lenses work particularly well in natural environments for improving: contrast, natural color vision, and eye comfort

For the Crossroads™ we complimented our core brown-tinted lens, with a second interchangeable, high-contrast violet lens included in the purchase. Violet lenses help filter out green and blue light that cause distracting reflections on surfaces like snow. The result of using a violet lens is that the snow’s surface and varying textures appear clearer, and we experience greater contrast in low-light conditions. Something that a mono-tint photochromic lens cannot provide in the same way.

Frame + Strap Deep-Dive

We’ve upgraded the headstrap on the Crossroads™ to feature a wider 50mm nylon strap in a distinctive design, inspired by traditional climbing rope. The headstrap has a silicone lining to keep your goggles secure in all conditions.

The frame is made of durable, temperature-resistant and scratch-resistant TPU with a matte coating that gives the CROSSROADS™ a modern, sleek finish. Maximised ventilation across the top and bottom of the frame ensures that, paired with the lens anti-fog inner coating, your goggles won’t fog up.

Naming the Crossroads™

All VALLON product names pay homage to songs and musicians from decades past. For the Crossroads™, we sought inspiration from the story of American blues singer and songwriter, Robert Johnson (1911-1938). It was said that Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads to become an exceptional guitar player.

VALLON Crossroads™ are now available at www.vallon.com/products/crossroads, and through select retailers worldwide.

DRAPER, Utah (Jan. 15, 2025) — Pioneering a new category of moisture management for gear and equipment, DRYOUT, a groundbreaking new advanced materials brand launching in 2026, offers a way to more effectively protect and rescue critical gear after exposure to the elements.

DRYOUT technology helps protect everything from electronics, cell phones, tablets, earbuds, and battery packs to photo/video gear, firearms, optics, night vision goggles, drone controllers, ammunition, medical devices, tools, and more. It provides active moisture protection during enclosed storage and carry, including use in cases, bags, pouches, packs and similar items.

Launching in January and available in a wide range of consumer and military products later this spring, DRYOUT technology is a patented, super-absorbent layered construction that is engineered into a range of different types of storage and carry solutions. Its unique pairing of materials results in unprecedented ability to actively pull and trap moisture at a higher rate of speed than traditional desiccants.

The DRYOUT brand will exhibit the technology to potential brand partners and defense organizations at SHOW Show in Las Vegas, Nev., Jan. 20-23.

“Moisture is one of the most persistent and expensive threats to mission-critical gear, whether that mission is outdoor adventure, hunting, traveling, military, aerospace, or just daily life with electronic devices,” said Romney Williams, CEO of DRYOUT. “Until now, there hasn’t been an electricity-free moisture-management solution this powerful, reusable, or versatile.”

Using its proprietary dual-action technology, DRYOUT actively pulls and traps moisture, holding it away from gear. The trapped moisture can later be released from the DRYOUT material, so it can be reused indefinitely to defend equipment from rust, corrosion, condensation, fogging, ingress, and electrical failure. This powerful performance is achieved by DRYOUT’s advanced design, which combines a moisture-wicking nylon exterior with a patented core of moisture absorption materials to create a layered construction where each layer plays a critical role in working together to move and manage moisture.

• A 6-by-12 inch DRYOUT panel — roughly the amount used to protect gear the size of a tablet, handgun or a VR headset — absorbs up to 3,400 times more moisture than a silica gel packet — what most people call to mind when they think of desiccants — and 15.3 times more than a silica gel canister and 10.2 times more than a plug-in dehumidifier.
• A 6-by-12 inch DRYOUT panel has an absorption capacity of up to 32.4 grams of moisture or 667 drops of water, a capacity that increases as panels increase in size.
• DRYOUT can pull moisture up to 8 inches away from a wet hard good, helping protect gear without needing direct contact.
• It actively eliminates “fog cycles” in camera lenses, night vision goggles, and thermal imaging cameras, helping maintain clear optics in high-stakes conditions.
• DRYOUT is easily reset for repeat use in as little as 30 minutes by exposing it to sunlight, controlled heat, or airflow, thereby reducing waste and total cost of ownership.

While traditional desiccants only passively absorb humidity, DRYOUT is the only reusable technology that actively pulls moisture out of wet gear, then absorbs and locks it away — without power, chemicals, or single-use waste.

DRYOUT partners with consumer brands, OEMs, Tier 1 government suppliers, and government and defense agencies that require high-reliability solutions. DRYOUT offers a collaborative design, development, and production service to enable partners to ideate, test, and bring DRYOUT-enabled products to market fast and efficiently.

Interested customers can visit DRYOUT.com for more information.

TENTS

OSMO™ Fabric

First introduced in 2022 with the Dagger™ tent series, NEMO’s revolutionary OSMO fabric represents a major leap forward in both technical performance and environmental responsibility. By combining 100% recycled nylon and polyester yarns, OSMO delivers the best of both materials: nylon fibers provide exceptional strength (20% stronger), while polyester fibers dramatically reduce stretch when wet (3x less). The result is a fabric with superior strength and water resistance (5x better), along with long-lasting, PFAS-free water repellency that never needs to be renewed. OSMO also meets flammability requirements without the use of fire-retardant chemicals. New for 2026, Dragonfly OSMO™ features solution-dyed fabric, further reducing environmental impact. OSMO™ embodies NEMO’s mission—advancing technology to make adventures better while committing to a lighter footprint on the planet.

Updated Dragonfly OSMO™ Tent Series
Already one of NEMO’s best-selling backpacking tents thanks to its balance of livability, low weight, and compact packed size, Dragonfly receives meaningful updates to interior space, materials, and design for 2026. The new Precurve™ crossbar increases door height and delivers up to 34% more headroom, while also creating a stronger, more stable frame. Recycled aluminum poles, NEMO custom Elements™ hardware, and 100% recycled, PFAS-free fabrics—now bluesign® APPROVED and solution-dyed—reduce environmental impact without compromising performance. A redesigned fly extends closer to the ground for improved foul-weather protection, while the updated Divvy Cube™ stuff sack packs more efficiently inside a backpack. Easier to live in, tougher in bad weather, and lighter on the planet, Dragonfly™ continues to raise the bar for modern backpacking tents.

• Available in 1P/2P/3P models
