yea i feel you on that. when im learning new stuff on rails, especially handrails and stuff i always feel more comfortable without goggles. it really does all depend on the size of the goggle lens and what the tint is and all that though.

I used to feel the same, I skied all my life, but the last 7 years most of my skiing was at a dome in the UK, so you never wear goggles to ski. Whenever I skied in the mountains I found it hard to get along with goggles as I hated how much they cut down my field of view. I tried loads and in the end found the A frames the best as they were small and close to my face so I did not find they got in the way too much. Try both large and small goggles, but for me small goggles just feel better.

If you feel your peripheral vision is impared by goggles have a look into the adidas yodai. It claims to have a very wide field of vision and uninterupted peripheral vision

just don't use them. I've used my goggles a total of 3 or 4 times, and there was days when it was snowing hard and riding down the mountain youd get tons of snow in your eyes and shit but I just learned to accept it, tbh I'd rather put up with wind/snow in the face than wear goggles.

I'm not Asian, but I was conceived in Japan.

Seriously though. It took me years to find a pair of goggles that I liked wearing. With every pair I bought, the peripheral was so bad that I had to take them off to ski switch. Crowbars work for me. I actually enjoy them more than skiing in sunglasses now, and I never thought that would be possible.

I agree. Keep looking and you will find goggles that fit well and don't mess with your peripheral. Have you tried crows?

OH MY GOOD SOMEBODY UNDERSTANDS ME! I thought I was alone in the world, I cannot fucking STAND goggles. Not only the fact that your view is so blocked, but the foam is so damn uncomfortable.

I ALSO HATE WEARING GOGGLES BUT WHAT SUCKS MORE THAN WEARING GOGGLES IS TRYING TO HIT JUMPS WHEN IT IS SNOWING OUT AND YOU ARE NOT ROCKING GOGGLES. HITTING RAILS WITHOUT GOGGLES FEELS SO MUCH BETTER

I felt the same way, and would ski w/o goggles whenever possible. Then last season I bought the Scott Fix and that all changed. Seriously they are so comfortable, and the field of vision so great, I forgot I was wearing them at times. Finally I don't mind wearing goggles!
