I/O best or second best goggle i have ever owned (phenom's are sick.).
Crowbars just arn't as good, i find they come up of my nose cause of all the curve, and dont looke very good with my maze.
if you dont wear a helmet than they are sick.

I have the crowbars. Love them! The only thing is, not all helmets are as snug as i would like. If you by any chance have a smith helmet, go with the i.o's. If you rock a hat mostly, go crowbars. Everyone has crowbars also so idk if you are a trend whore or not. Amazing goggles don't get me wrong i bought mine before they were popular (fyi).

My I/O's are awesome, comfy, look great, easy to change lenses if the weather packs in, and fit pretty well with the few helmets I've owned. the crowbar didn't fit my face at all, it kept sliding up my nose, which i was pretty gutted about because I've always loved the way they look. my brother now owns some crowbars though, and would never wear anything else, he found they fitted awkwardly with some helmets but to be honest go with whatever fits your face best.

I/os are the next crowbar so you may as wel jump on the bandwagon. Plus they are great.

Crowbars are the eternal king of goggles.

crowbars r really nice because u can customize them. ive had them over the past few years and i just keep trading parts and buying new ones. that way i always have a fresh pair of googles on my head!!

I own crowbars. But if I would have to choose between these two NOW, I'd go with the I/O's. or POC lobes.
