Hey guys, I need help before buying new goggles. I currently have a pair of maces, but I'm looking for something with better peripheral vision. I would be rocking them under a maze helmet with a beanie. How do the I/O, Rogue, and Eg 2.5 stack up? Help appreciated!

I had I/Os and they were pretty sweet peripherally. Definitely worth looking into. the clip in the back is a pain and they are a bit pricey, but the peripherals and lens change system are very nice. check them out, try some on, see if they fit you.

the eg2.5 would have better periferal vision than the io. Im not sure about the rogue, but it is probably about the same as the eg2.5

IO's or eg2.5's would most likely offer the best peripheral vision. I've been demoing a pair of next years EGB2's from electric and they are really tight. The lens is wide and the frames are really flexible and form to my face perfectly. Comparable to the EG2 in terms of range of view, but don't look nearly as big.

Smith io. You can remove the strap clip in the back and attach the straps normally.

How would you do that? from what I've seen, they stay separate halves?

Smith makes a "Helmet helper" that's basically a one piece rubber clip that attaches the two straps together.

I can't really say anything about the Eg2.5 goggles, but I love the rogues. I prefer them over my crowbars. They fit my face way better IMO. I have tried on my friends I/O's and they squeeze my nose a little bit. I also wear a smith maze helmet and the Rogues fit very nicely with it. But goggles all depend on what you prefer. Go into a shop and try on the goggles to see what fit your face better. Might help you out a little more than NS could.

How did the peripherals match up between the two?

I currently have the Spy Platoons. The peripherals are amazing on them and they look sick. Highly recommended.
