i/os, by far the best goggle ive ever worn. the extra peripheral vision is great and on top of that they come with 2 lenses

Got last years I/Os for 80 bucks brand new. Can't beat that price for a goggle that comes with 2 lenses.

Not to mention the warranty is pretty sick. I broke mine taking them apart, and they just sent me some brand new ones. I'm a smith customer for life now.

Love my I/O's. I've worn them for 3 seasons, and they're easily the best goggle I've tried. I got another pair so I use the old ones for downhilling, they work quite well for that as well haha.

I would be interested to see how the air brakes feel though. the new dragon (i think its called the apex) looks pretty cool as well.

Can't really go wrong with high end goggles like Smith and Oakley though.
