Smith I/Os are my all time favorite goggle. It's so easy to change out the lenses and they are just so damn comfortable. Plus they'll fit well with a Smith helmet

I would get eg2's, I started off with eg2.5's but I tried my friends eg2's on and I had no blind spot. I now have andreas wig eg2's. The eg2 does look funny because it is so big but it makes up for having no blind spot and you can make them look G if sag them.

Yeah, but you get no blind spots in the I/O with so much less goggle.

This, i have owned both the i/o has better optics and the same field of vision as the eg2 with a lot less goggle that looks just as good. Plus with the lens swapping capabilities on the i/o imo it is a much better goggle.
