the smith prophecy is the best out now, the new oakley canopy will be OTG as well, might be worth the wait, as is the new IOx they are saying will work OTG

Thanks, those Oakleys are legit. I'll definitely wait for those. the Smiths are a bit dorky

you should look at any of the smith goggles with the turbofan. that really helps with fogging

Knowledge and Prophecy are definitely a favorite for OTG. Scott also makes the Storm OTG which is a cheaper alternative. Also, the fan on the Storm is located inside of the goggle and doesn't have the battery pack on the goggle strap like the Smith Turbo Fan series does (Better if you wear goggles under your helmet). Hope this helps a bit.

I really wonder how much noise that would make. also I'd figure the battery pack would get annoying fast

All depends on your glasses. My old ones could fit into a fit of cbars and I/Os. Its all about contacts tho, except for those hungover days.

on the low setting they arent to bad at all. next season there will be an iox with an elite turbo fan and that thing is silent even on high. the battery isnt to bad either, you get use to it.

if you keep your glasses clean they are fine. putting anything under the goggle/over my nose fogs up my glasses sometimes though. you can buy the little fans separately. They aren't too noisy, and i don't think the batteries would be too bad. especially if you wear a helmet, but i have never actually used one, just played with them at my shop.
