hey everyone! i was just wondering if anyone has bought the eg2.5's and if so, how do they compare, size wise and overall, to the original eg2's or any other goggle for that matter.

i just bought them couple weeks ago for 85 bucks on eBay and love them so far even though havent skid in them yet. i got the gloss black with bronze something lens.

they are smaller then eg2s and they are about the size of like crowbars, ios etc type goggles. so they are still big but nice for a smaller face or with a use with a helmet.

thanks! i was looking for a goggle that fit a medium-large face that has a clean/minimalistic design and that wasn't overly huge.

I'm sure you guys can find a pair and try them on.
They are a lot smaller than the eg's. Like stated, size of Phenom or I/Os.

eg2s are goggles that are not comparable to any other goggles so if you are a lucky guy and can wear them then do so. but many of us will feel they are too big, and they could leak and fog up...plus they may not work with helmets sometimes

i chose the eg2.5 cuz of the deals they have on ebay....i wanted the smith IO but for 160 no thanks lol.....i previously had the von zipper feenoms which were for sure bigger then any goggle ive had and i loved them but i just wanted a black goggle this year

they are rare to find in the store i found. so i just went for it and bought them......not many ppl have them so its hard to find any reviews or anything. but you guys wouldnt be disapointed if you like medium sized goggles. they are very clean. and the price is good ON EBAY. retail is like 150 or 160 i think.

EG2's are the biggest frames you can get on the market. If you wear a helmet, small chance that they'll fit well because they are so big. if you don't you're lucky cause you can rock em out. EG2.5's are sick. same design same graphics just a little smaller and they fit better with a helmet or on a smaller face.

I've actually found that EG2s work well with most helmets I've tried on. If the EG2s fit you, it's likely that you have a bigger head in the first place, and they work well with larger helmet sizes.

this is true if you have a bigger noggin.
but i've still had a lot of people try them on with helmets and not have them fit.
It all depends on the person really. just try them on before you buy
