Hey NS, I accidentally bought a I/OS lens thinking it was an I/O and I went to cancel the order and the guy told me the lenses are the exact same and the only difference was in the goggle frame itself... is this true? Please help I need to give him an answer soon.

theres not a huge difference, its the same width, hight is a bit smaller though. I really didnt notice enough of a difference, plus the I/OS fit my face better

I/OS are the woman's version of the I/O, per se. There work the exact same way, but they are for different sized faces. If they look sick and they fit your face, then you're golden

Considering there really isn't a "frame" for the I/O, just outriggers and snaps to hold the lens in place, I can't possibly imagine the I/O and I/OS have the same size lens.

they wouldn't work at all- it's a totally different closure system between I/O and I/OS

I never said the lenses were interchangeable, I said that they're two different sizes, and that if they fit his face it doesn't matter that they're different

the truth^

they are two different lenses

and the I/OS is not a women's goggle, it is just for smaller faces.

Ah alright, I always assumed they were because girl's usually have smaller faces. I do know it's with I/OS though
