Swiss Mountain Trooper Goggles w. Aluminum Case, Surplus

Delightfully charming steam punkesque goggles from Swiss mountain ninjas. We got several fabugastic options this time. Some have so dark lenses that you can probably see dead people when you put them on. Some showcase the world in the eyes of Janis Joplin or a gothic vampire. Then there are clear goggles as well. They all come with a simple yet stylish aluminum case.

Features

Swiss folks know how to make psychedelic goggles, one has to say. This time, we got several versions, and for your pleasure, we sorted them out, so you can choose your trip. Some have really black lenses, so when you put them on, you will enter the world of darkness. Absolutely vital in snowy mountains and Narnia. However, if you use these indoors, you should be cool and sit still or get someone to escort you around.

Some of these have round red lenses. These will give you one rosy Woodstock festival or the crimson feast for your vampire clan. You can also choose whether you want hard frames or a rubber band familiar from old pilot goggles. Some even have black rubber flaps on the side of the eyes that keep the evil sun away from the children of the night.

Then there are clear goggles for those who don’t want to walk in the world of darkness. These are round but a bit larger than the others. A black rubber band with metal frames that are surrounded by black plastic and rubber. You can use them as some sort of protective goggles but they are absolutely perfect for steampunk fantasies. The lenses can be a bit stained cause these are used.

Use

The story goes that these were made for the Swiss mountain troops. Snow can be one bright bugger when there’s lots of it, so really dark-tinted sunglasses are quite appropriate in the Alps. However, this all is just a smokescreen for the normies.

The black ones are absolutely essential for all the dirigible captains planning on venturing to the Mountains of Madness. You will look quite dapper with these on your pilot hat. They will also make a too bright future disappear and kill the annoying flashes of paparazzis. If you hate the sun, these will bring on eternal darkness.

The red sunglasses give you several adventure options. Put these on together with tie-dyed clothing, burn some incense, and the White Rabbit will take you to the Summer of Love on Haight-Ashbury. As long as you don’t trust anyone over 30 and your life will be groovy! Or dress in a stylish black frock and top hat and go hunting mortals on the nightly alleys of Victorian London.

Because these are used, we cannot give any guarantees on polarization since that is impossible to check. Since these are Swiss military, their quality is quite high though, not some Cheap-O-Mart crap.

The clear goggles obviously won't protect you from the evil sunz at all, they are meant for other protective use.

Condition

Used Swiss military surplus. The cases can have small stains and scratches, but since they are made of metal, it won’t have an effect on usability. The case isn’t padded. The glasses have also seen some use, so the lenses can have some fingerprints, other dirt, and such. They are still perfectly serviceable. If you want pristine glasses, you should buy new ones. But we can guarantee they won’t be this purdy.
