PRODUCT EVALUATION Jones Pro Goggles The major feature of the new Jones Goggles, according to the Jones Optical Company. is its Carbonite~ lens, for which they claim high optical quality with extreme scratch resistance. Included with the press release first sent out were two plastic samples, one representing what "is typical of vinually all goggle lenses being made today," and a Carbonite~ coated lens. Steel wool provided as a test scratched one lens but not the other. We took the steel wool and tried it on the front of a pair ofJones Pro Goggles. Not a scratch. Looking through Jones Goggles is great '-- like looking through a brand' new, sparkling clean window. No dis· tortion is evident at all. And they keep on looking that way. Washing with a soft sponge and water had them good . as new after a couple of hundred miles. Be careful washing the inside; the scratch·resistant coating is applied only to the front. My beef with these goggles wasn't with the lens at all, but rather with the frame. It's comfortable to wear, but the frame doesn't angle out away from the eyes very much and thus reduces peripheral vision, especially in compari· son to a pair of Scott goggles that I had been using. If Jones takes the lens they're using now and opens up the frame away from the eyes a bit more, they'll have a winner. Retail price on the Jones Pro Goggles is $55.
