Ted Ligety is 25 years old and has never been to college, but he owns a global ski-accessory company. He started Shred Optics after winning the gold medal in 2006 because he wanted more radical designs than those offered from existing race goggles. Case in point: Shred’s new Omnibot 80s come with an orange frame, blue strap, and signature neon lenses. The company, based on Ligety’s nickname, Ted Shred, also sells helmets (check out the one called Brain Bucket) and sunglasses.
