Ive had my spy blizzards for 3 or 4 years and theyre starting to get old and scratched up so im looking for some new ones.
My main options are...
Smith I/O, crowbars, splice's, eg2's and dragon rogue's
Im also getting a new helmet and its most likely going to be the smith maze so the I/O's would obviously be a good choice in terms of fit.
Price is a factor, im looking for something i can get a good deal on.
Thats correct.
And i tried on some crowbars and liked the fit, as for the splices, i wasnt a huge fan. One of the major selling features for me with the i/o is that they come with another lens and theyre easily interchangeable. Ive never had multiple lens options and i kind of like the idea of it instead of using my night lenses always.
I can get the crowbars for on average $40 cheaper than i/o's but the the crowbars never come with an extra lens and the i/o's usually do. Not to mention that if i am going to find some crowbars with two lenses or just buy a back up lens my self, i dont want to be fighting with the goggle to get the lens in.
Im a bargain hunter and dont have much money at the moment so price is definetly a factor for me, im just trying to decide that in the long run is the extra money worth it for the i/o's.
Im getting new gog's with the intention of not buying new ones for a while.
Crowbars are great, unless you live where it snows, then your s.o.l. I had cbars for a year and hated the nose pinch and constant fogging. The lense has a anti fog coating on the inside but if you get any water on it it gets ruined, the lense vents also get plugged up really easily and fog.
I ha ve used i/o's for half a season and tehy were great, every pair of smiths ive used have never fogged or gotten messed up.
