A Thread For Goggles

[coleslawed]

yup. especially if you get to the hill on a sunny day and will be riding into the evening after the sun goes down, it's quite nice. but with everyone else adding an M3 clone or similar to their lineup, I'm finding it harder to justify anon for anything other than MFI, and even then I'm using that less and less these days.

just ordered a pair of classic Dang's myself for $30.

Still running my several pair of Crowbars... going on over 15 years. Will change when my rose prism lens gets too shitty (my favo) and I can't replace or when the foam deteriorates.

One of the clasps broke on my IOs, so have been running sets of my old Crowbars as well. The foam is starting to come off of some of them, was going to just use some Gorilla glue or something similar, but curious if anyone here has used something else in the past? Possibly an adhesive that's sticks better to foam?

Eventually, at the end of the season, I'm going to look for a new goggle (and a new helmet).
I have an old frame with a lens for bad weather, that is falling apart.

Magnetics goggle are tempting me, but the Squad Mag seems an oversized goggle, so I think is not the best for my face.
Anon costs way too much.
I like cylindrical lens, in the past some spherical lens caused me some dizziness, and image distortion.

Maybe I can stick with the regular Smith Squad, it should be the regular size of the Squad XL, right?

If I can buy two of this, I can cover all the bases: I have an Air Goggle that is great for sunny/mixed condition, but with full sun is not that great (it works but sometimes I would like a lens that protects more my eyes).
So I would need a frame with a full sunny condition lens, and another one for bad weather.

Check out the Giro line. I recently purchased the Axis and have been very happy with the lens quality - they come with an extra low light lens too that I've been really impressed with. I'm coming from a very old pair of Air goggles and Electric EG2.5 The Giro's were around $130 on sale from eBay and have the same magnetic lenses as the more expensive Contour.

will do! thanks!

sometimes Sierra will discount those goggles for 50%, I've snagged Anon m3s, Smith 4ds for $100

my only rule for goggles is I won't pay more than $130, and a clear lens has to be available for them

Milo has their own goggle and I came very close to buying a set and still may. Mag lenses.

i've been running m3's for 5 seasons and the foam is starting to deteriorate. have loved the lenses, fit, and magnets.

they are quite expensive and i rarely used my yellow lens unless night shredding or extreme storms, been thinking of going back to oakleys' and maybe scooping a line miners (love the fit).

Line Miners are extremely comfortable. Really digging my VZ Machs right now, though.

You might get lucky if you shoot W48 some pics and a message.

Line Miners fit my face surprisingly well, they kinda feel massive when on though. Really dug the green prism lens for daytime riding.
