What goggles are all you guys pushin' this season.

I have a pair of Smiths and a pair of Electrics and I want something new.
Anything worth checking out?

Any new companies out there. Doesn't seem like there's been anything new since Ashbury and they are more for Snowboarders.


Any thoughts?

love mirrored anything and not a big fan of Oakleys so anything else shoot it my way.

I don't know. I used to have a pair early days and the lenses always fogged up.
Lenses cracked.

They have obviously improved had a pair about 3 years ago That were good but nothing special.

for me the biggest thing is Oakley is everywhere my mom wears Oakley on the hill. Also they have like 30 different colors for one model and its just overkill.

Also it got bought by Luxottica which owns all the major sunglass co's.

I like to rock stuff that not everyone has.

Maybe not very limited.

but like 30 options is overboard. who needs polka dots, argyle, checks, red drips, and that's just colors. then you have 6 different mirrors they claim are for different light conditions. Just give me 1 or 2 that fit most of the conditions we ride in. its just overkill in my mind.

Oakley has the best lenses and foam imo. plus their real customizable you're saying you don't want the same as everyone else why would you want a goggle that comes in two colors obviously someone will have them. Crowbars you can change straps riggers frames whatever. I like that there is a shit ton of combos you can have. And if you had a frames back then they blow used to e the same until I tried crowbars. So dope
