Good product, minor but annoying flaws

Reviewed by Bahram Dahi, 2010-03-04

I bought this pair of goggles mainly because of the good reviews on Amazon. The following is based on my personal experience with the polarizing brown version this product on a 3-day ski trip, which may be different from other users. I found the overall quality of these goggles acceptable. They easily fit over my medium size glasses, however I found it easier for my ears to raise the handles of my glasses to sit above my ears in order to reduce the pressure caused by the goggles' stretch bands. However, there are two somehow annoying issues with these goggles: the first one is that these goggles slide down and put pressure on your nose, making it harder to breath. I admit that this is a person-specific issue and it depends on the shape of the face and the nose so others may not have the same problem, however I still believe it's a design issue since I did not have such a problem with another brand of goggles (Smith Knowledge). Another problem I found was that the polarizing lens was creating optical illusions -- such as wavy ridges when actually looking at a flat snow surface at a close range. My eyes got used to it very soon but still it was not a thrilling experience. Again this problem may be specific to the polarizing brown version, or even -- out of bad luck -- my copy of the goggles but I decided to share my experience with others anyhow knowing this could be the case.

I bought these goggles online because of good reviews and the fact that there were no ski shops close to where I live, however based on this experience I will definitely consider trying the goggles on before buying them from now on. If you have to buy online, considering the overall quality and value, I think the cheaper version of these goggles are in the acceptable range, especially if you have a small (not wide) nose.

Very good.

I got these for winter biking in Chicago and have been very pleased. Interestingly, they fit better over my large glasses than over my small glasses. Anyway. Love them.

Great!

I bought these because my normal goggles would always fog up. However, they never even fogged up once! They are larger to accommodate prescription glasses.

Some people were saying that these goggles are large. They're not - they're the same size as my other goggles, with the foam cut out so that it allows for glasses to fit inside. The elastic band is a bit small, but it wasn't a problem for me (however, if I had a bigger head, I'm not so sure). I'd say I have a medium-sized head.

All in all, great goggles for a great price! Totally worth it.

Great Goggles!

I bought these because they are bigger in surface space and they are made to go over glasses. I wear them when riding my ATV or just outside in the snow. They are great! Never fog up, comfortable and help keep your face warm because of their size. You don't need anything else - like sunglasses - under them in white out conditions either, the Vermillion tint is perfect to spare your eyes, but not too dark. I would absolutely buy these again and recommend to anyone.
