In 1954, two mountaineers made history. Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni became the first men to climb to the top of the second-highest mountain in the world, K2. They reached the historic summit equipped with none other than Moncler down jackets, along with a variety of critical accessories—oxygen, climbing masks, goggles, and probably even pants.

In the spirit of this achievement, Moncler has partnered with handcrafted eyewear brand Mykita to issue a decidedly 21st-century update on the traditional mountaineer goggle for Holiday 2011. Complete with mineral glass lenses, metal rims with leather side pieces, an anti-fog finishing, and futuristic flash mirror effect, the sleek shades are a chic stocking stuffer for any snowboarder or ski savant you might have in mind this season.

Mykita & Moncler goggles, available in LINO and ACHILLE models, are available this month at Mykita shops and Moncler boutiques worldwide. moncler.com
