Yeah man they're worth it, they don't ever fog up, got good peripheral vision, and fit my face/helmet perfectly. Make sure you try them on, they might not fit your face good.

i had a pair and the lenses fogged up on me whenever it was cold and i had to walk anywhere, they stuck super far from my face and didn't fit well. most people seem to like them but i like the io's, eg2s, and eg1s much better. you should be able to find some of last years io's for pretty cheap if you look around plus they have a lifetime warranty and come with 2 lenses.

they are definitely a solid goggle.  and the lenses are pretty good.  not as good as smith, but as long as you don't get persimmon/bronze/orange, they should come out steezyyy

cheapest and best google you can get is crowbars off tramdock.com. they sell them for 60+ percent off, so you could get a nice pair for 40. i have a pair and love them so much, they just have the quality that you would expect out of a top of the line brand like oakley. there is a wide variety of both google colors and lenses, to fit any style and type of day. eveeryone has them on NS it seems, so there are plenty of people always willing to trade you parts for a different look or a replacement. the periferal vision is also super nice, always able to see everything and with the double layer lens they don't fog easily either. here is a picture of mine, which look imo better than any other google out there.

also, here is a link to the thread were you can request what products go on sale at tramdock.com, because each product only goes on sale for 15 min at a time.

crowbars are sick, and they were my favorite goggle for two years, because of the fact that they're easy to customize and the peripheral is good, but the downside for me at least was that they pinched my nose. when i got a pair of I/Os this summer, the peripheral was just as good, they look sick, and they don't pinch my nose. Even though they aren't customizable i think they're a better goggle than the crowbar personally, and smith makes a lot of lenses for them just like the crowbars have a lot of lenses so that's good.

took the words right off my keyboard. I recently made the switch to I/Os from crowbars and now wish that i had a lot sooner. Crowbars fit great on lots of peoples faces, but definitely not mine. They pinched my nose and the peripheral is not as great as everyone hypes it up to be. My I/Os dont pinch, they're lighter, dont really even feel like they are on my face, have HUGE peripheral compared to crowbars, and have 3 lenses for all light conditions i can swap out in a matter of seconds. Id say just try before you buy...

sorry for dub post, but i would NOT get eg2s. i've had a pair of them and for me they literally fogged up NON-STOP. i could not keep them from fogging no matter what i did. because they're a similar price i would definitely say get the crowbars or the I/Os.... EG2s are a bad decision in my opinion.

k thanks, anyone selling crowbars for under $130? cause thats pretty stupid since you can get brand new 1's for that price and customize them for $10 more..
and im getting new skis,(line anthems) so my price range is pretty cheap..
most likely would want white 1's, to dye.
but just post a picture or whatever..
