except that I'm pretty sure they have a single lense which means they will be so foggy they will be useless.

i dont understand why they would put a single lens in snocross goggles. i would assume they would need them to be double to prevent fogging, unless the air passing through the vents while riding is enough to do the trick.

From the text in the link above:

"It’s a sport that combines treacherous conditions, split-second reflexes and a machine with so much power, most people would rather sit on an electric chair. It demands the best clarity and protection available, so we combined the unbeatable performance of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) with the durability of O MATTER® frame material. CROWBAR® goggles are equipped with a contoured, lightweight nose guard for added protection. The dual lens eliminates fog while triple-layer face foam wicks away moisture. For all-day comfort, strap outriggers balance pressure."

I was figuring on using them to ski, and if the nosepiece comes off that's awesome, I can just ditch it if it looks gay.
