Best Goggles on the Planet February 21, 2008
These are the best OTG goggles on the planet whether you wear glasses or not. I've tried literally every OTG model from Smith, Adidas, Anon, and Carrera, but nothing even came close. The lens on these goggles is a double lens, so fogging is actually really rare to begin with. But when it does happen (like when you stop for a break and your body heat rises), you click the fan on for a minute or less and all is clear again.
I've taken these goggles both snowboarding as well as back-country snowmobiling (deep powder) and I never had to take them off once all day (not once!). They are the absolute best goggles that I have ever found for comfort and tech, and even the price is great considering how good these are compared to even more expensive alternatives. I will certainly be using these for years to come.
They fit fine with both snowboard (Burton Red) and snowmobile helmets. The battery seems to last basically forever. But I recommend getting an extra battery from Radio Shack just in case you leave it on in the suitcase or something. Try them. You'll love them whether you wear glasses or not.
The only two criticisms I had were that you can't swap the lens out for a different color or clear for night-riding. I have used them night-riding and it wasn't bad at all. They really couldn't have picked a better all-purpose color. But still, it would be nicer to be able to swap the lens out. And also, the quick-connect snap at the back, while very easy to use, looks like it might be a little brittle compared to other goggles. But as long as you use common sense, there's no real risk of them breaking. I've had these for multiple seasons now and have never had a problem other than the battery falling out while the goggles were inside the baggage. The battery lasts basically forever, but you'll definitely want to get a few extras to have with you because they are a less-commonly-found size of battery (they look like a tiny AAA). Radio Shack carries the batteries.
