Replying to Difference between a 50$ and 200$ pair of goggles

sneezin:
Alright, I'm looking for a serious answer here.

Is there a real, noticeable difference from the 50 to 200$+ range for goggles? or 100-200+?

like ive ridden a pairs of shitty scotts with cheap ass lenses my entire life. The ones i broke today probably sell new today for like 10$. They don't fog so I dont really see a reason to get new ones (until now because they just broke). Is there really a huge difference between these and some crowbars?

I dont know, i get the feeling that people spend an extra 150$ for the look entirely and that 150$ could be spent way better upgrading their skis boots or bindings (added to what they are already paying). One of my friends gets new oakleys every year and i think its a little excessive.


well anyways my shitty scotts cracked after five years and i need to buy new ones, and only want to shell out 50-75 from my life's savings of 400$, wondering if i should spend the extra hundred and get something nice.


i feel like what i just wrote sounds really repetitive but sorry im fucking tired and im going to sleep. took a few nice spills today
