I was rocking Oakley Crowbars, but then I tried out Smith I/O.
I have to say I love my Smith I/O much more than my Oakleys...But my Smiths leak air into my eyes a little. But not much. I'd recommend the I/O to anyone.

/gear talk, but everyone who i know who has smith i/o's loves them, i also heard the dragon rogue are quite nice as well, for me i have smith phenoms, not as nice as the i/os but for 40$ cheaper, they were a steal.

haven't tried the io's, but I love my eg2's, fit perfect with my helmet (smith holt), and they are so comfy

What company made the lenses that are magnetic so they are easily interchangeable?

I cant remember for the life of me and I want to save up and buy a pair.

Smith I/o will not disappoint anyone! Love mine, no fog no high pressure points either. The nose is a wee bit carved so you can sag your goggles with comfort!

I really like I/O's and my current splices. My splices seem to fog a lot less though, really quality lens'.

the best ALL AROUND goggle, is anyone that comes with two lenses.

oakley airbrake, find them on sale for pretty cheap and you get a low light lens and a sunny lense.

i love mine.

Something I wish I'd thought of when I got mine was CHECK the PERIPHERALS. I've got anon figments and although they look the bee's knees, they really limit how far you can see to each side, so skiing switch becomes a whole different even more impossible ballgame because of how much further you have to turn your head

I/os leak a little bit of air in but they are such a good buy.

I have to say Scott Fix since it's just amazing all around, is it light? No prob. What about dark? No prob neither. I don't know but they work just like magic, and if you get any fog on your lens when skiing, it just disappears as fast as it came!

Rocking Splices, but in my opinion, Oakley goggles in general because of all the lenses to choose from.

I/o's. Iv had or used crowbars, splices, eg2s, eg1s, fixs, rouges and a bunch of others and I/o's are defiantly the best all around. Not saying I didn't like the others though

It's been said but the eg2's are really great. I have those and a pair of air blasters which are also really great super great peripherals and they're really comfortable.
