How come i see so many steeze balls ride with no goggles these days.
I dont have a problem with it, it looks cool sometimes. i just want to know if there is any benefit in doing this? or is it just for looks.

ps. i dont see THAT many people doin it but a decent amount do. 

pps. I tried it out and couldnt see shit and it hurt my eyes, and im afraid of snowblind!

"and im afraid of snowblind!"

only wear goggles when i have to, ie. sunny or i'm skiing fast and don't want the wind in my eyes.  never tried the sunglasses steez though, looks way funnier than no goggles,
peace

if im skiing they are almost always on, snow, rain, wind etc. not really concerned with snowblindess but it never hurts to be prepared. if im skiing, like lift, line etc i'll usually take them off if its warm enough, i'd see more steeze having sweet looking goggles then having none

in one of jon brogan's edits he isn't wearing goggles except for jumps i think. and in the midwest edit with ahmet hornbeck and henrik, they aren't wearing goggles but its nighttime si that doesn't really count.

but for me i like my goggles

There actually seems to be a pretty big trend in the snowboarding community about not wearing googles. At least around here in Quebec. One of my friends who does ride without goggles says it's useless and he hates when they get foggy. He only wears them in extreme conditions.

I personnally do not agree and I wear my goggles all the time unless I hiking for rails, and I'm not convinced at all that this trend has a real benefit

YOU ARE A FUCKING RETARD
NO GOGGLE STEEZE WTF?
When u see someone with no goggles its probably because its hot outside and is sweating in it not because he want to be stylish

My google strap fell off the frame. It was taking too long to fix, so I rode without goggles for a day.

Sometimes when I'm night skiing I will, visibility is shit with even slightly tinted lenses.

Usually I don't because it makes my eyes tear up and then they freeze and it sucks lol.
