Dragon NFX MAG OTG Goggle Review

Dragon Alliance celebrates 20 years of innovative optic designs with their newest snow goggle, the NFX MAG OTG. Now that may look like some sort of code name let’s break it down! NFX- Dragons patented frameless design. MAG- magnets + SwiftLock hold the lens on the frame. OTG- over the glasses means you can wear your glasses under these goggles with comfort. Let’s dig deeper…

Swiftlock Magnetics

The Dragon Alliance NFX MAG OTG Goggle utilizes the ultra-fast and super-secure Swiftlock Magnetics lens changing system. Tested and endorsed by Dragon’s world class athletes you know this is the real deal. SwiftLock is the fastest and most efficient lens change mechanism I’ve ever used. I can change lens without taking my goggle off, and it literally takes 5 seconds. It’s incredible. A quick pull of the SwiftLock trigger and one side of the lens pops out, the other side is secured by magnets. Off. To get a new lens on you start at the magnet side and then just push the side in with the SwiftLock. You will hear a click and it’s secure. On.

Lumalens Options

The NFX MAG OTG Goggle comes with two lens choices a sunny and a low light as well as a goggle bag and a lens bag. The Lumalens is Dragons color optimizing technology which creates incredible definition in the hardest light conditions. In whiteout conditions I really liked the low light lens, and I even used it one night on a skitz midnight mission up Mt. Glory with headlamps. Still could see at night – Good sign!

The Dragon NFX MAG OTG has Armored Venting for those hard on their gear- these will last! The lens have a super anti fog coating which proved to be very effective ripping hot laps on sweaty days, I never fogged up. The triple layer face foam has a hypoallergenic micro fleece lining and is very comfortable on the face. The strap has a silicone bead to create a positive grip on helmets. I found this goggle to fit really nicely with my helmet.

Fit

The fit of the NFX MAG OTG is on the “larger steezy” side of things without feeling oversized. The field of view is unlimited and both lens will have you covered thru all conditions. I am absolutely stoked on how easy it is to change lens. Like wow. Goggles have come so far from when we used to mash a lens and frame together. SwiftLock is elegant and efficient.
