i hate it when other companies copy shit that they know works, it's a smart move but gay none the less... maybe they should work on making other tight denigns to compete with these instead of copying the shit out of them

well like someone said they could have just bought a licence from Oakley, or they could have just gotten Oakley to make their goggle line. Sort of how Fox sunglasses are just oakley at heart.  I know that the two brands are pretty cozy as most oakley atheletes rock the giro helmets ( dumont, JP, etc).  In my mind it could be just a rebranding.......like the strap designs look alot like Oakleys, the frame is nearly identical, but the lense is actually pretty different.

im suprised i didn't see a "WHO THE FUCK CARES?" comment.


seriously, for the most part everything that is new and exciting in the ski industry has been done before. here's some examples:

twin tips - appeared first in the 1970's
rocker - early 2000's  by volant
outrigger on goggles - smith triad
neon - do i need to go there?
no poles - skiboarders


so don't give shit to companies saying that they're copying other because that's all the industry is about.

there not exactly the same... you probably cant take out the outriggers plus the giros have a more rough and pointy look
