whats you budget like?

if you dont care how much you spend

then go with the spy soldier or spy orbits

both wonderful goggles that are made from a very reputable company

heres a link

soldiers: http://spyoptic.com/the_products/snow_goggles/index.cfm?ModelName=Snow/Soldier

Orbits: http://spyoptic.com/the_products/snow_goggles/index.cfm?ModelName=Snow/Orbit

also oakley has some good products too

the a frames are really popular because they fit a lot of faces (they compare to the soldiers)

and the oakley wisdoms have a huge window pane to look through( comparable to the orbits)

Wisdoms: http://oakley.com/o/o1309d


i would reccomend the goggles in this order

1. Spy Soldiers - There a very versiitile goggle that can be used for everything and almost every face. plus they come in a bunch of sweet colors and prints

2. Spy Orbits - A great goggle for big faces and people who just like to see EVERYTHING. the have a huge field of vision and are great for backcountry and seeing a lot

3. Oakley A Frames - They are a similar goggle to the the spy soldier, but they dont come in as many cool colors and prints

4. Oakley Wisdoms - They are a great goggle fora big field of vision. just be aware if you are gonna wear em with a helmet, you have to get another strap to make em helmet compatable(the strap costs around 20 bucks)


also as far as lenses go, both companies have a huge variaty of lenses, but oakleys lenses cost way more! because there mroe mainstream

so if you gonna be night riding and need to get a pair of yellow or clear lenses, you gonna pay way more for oakley lenses

hope this helps


when i have more time i'll touch on some other companies such as vonzipper, anon, and smith

peace

my favorites? in no particular order...

oakley wisdoms
oakley crowbars

anon figments
anon realms

smith phenom
smith fuse

go get some son!

The best ones are the ones that fit your face.

I tried a bunch and have settled on Oakley A frames, they are crazy expensive, but worth it to me.

Smiths!!

woah you can? thats cool. spys are not as expensive as the oaks

I believe my Icon somewhat contradicts you

anyone want some spy soldiers.......a got a few left. PM me

You are going to love this, i have never had to replace goggles for wear and tear purposes. The only time i have had to replace my goggles was when someone broke into my house and stole them and some of my cloths and stuff. The stupidity thing was that they stole them with no intention of using them as we both live at the beach.

I think its all about the quick grab and the ease of pawn.

Yeah i got these with the goggles and yes they were super expensive because i got them in France and the Euro translation amped everything up 10x or whatever.

SMITH gogs are the only way to rock!

haha, then buy the spys i have! i fucking hate'em

i would, but i dont have any funds

Anon they the ones that look the best

^^^^^^^^^
i agree

get spys

i have some spy orbits and love them. They fit great on my face and give me a huge field of vision. They look best with a helmet on because they are pretty big. Without a helmet, you kinda look like a bug or something. They are comfortable and have the angled straps and a sticky material to help them stay in place when you use a helmet

guys ive been looking at some goggles and first off, what the heck are mirror sensor lense?  they seem to have those for smith goggles.  and what would all of you guys recommend as a great color for all purpose?  would that be orange-yellow, persimmin, or bronze?  here are a list of gogges if anyone gots any opinions on them:
1smith phenom siaman chow
2smith anthem filthy rich
3spy soldier
4spy orbit black pearl
5von zipper feemon goggle

I love my von zips, i have the feenom in white with the smoke green crome lense

Spy Orbits are well built...little less on the up-down field of view, but excellent side to side...Orange or bronze with a mirror fade is the best all around...orange clear is good, but can hurt when its sunny, mirror is good for sun but useless when its snowy...again mirror fade is the best, and spy uses it well...their blue-org spectra mirror is the shizzy

Anon Halcyons are out of manufacture now, but they are awesome goggles...Realms are the replacement...they are sick and have a cold weather/warm weather swappable venting system...

Anon offers the best lens I have ever used...they call it Solex Mirror...it is not fully polarized, but it adapts to light conditions, somehow...you can get it for Realms
